spc: half birthday

halfway to one.
at the risk of sounding cliche':
where has the time gone?

the days have drifted by with
endless snuggling,
amazement,
celebrations,
drool,
giggling,
worry and questioning,
reading and researching,
nibbling,
cradling,
and rocking.

my heart has opened further than i ever thought possible.
i am forced to let go of the box
and see this planet through brand new eyes.
everything new.
everyday a different perspective.

i have feared the worst more than i ever thought possible, too.
feeling very much like a mama lion...
i will rip your limbs off with my teeth if you come near my child...

you always think you know.
you know what it'll be like.
but you don't.
nothing can prepare you for this crazy, wonderful trip.

happy half-birthday, dear boy-shortie.
your papa and mama love you so much.
