23 weeks!!!

dear sweet boy,

today you are 23 weeks old... that is 161 days... wow.

i can't believe how much you have grown... are growing. you are flirting with sitting up unassisted (and you don't even cry when you tumble over), and experimenting with standing while holding onto things; you are so strong, mr. chicken.

this past week has been a tough one- with the arrival of your first tooth... but you are back to your usual smiley self now. you are a beacon of light, mr. piece. every nuance of you takes our breath away.

you are becoming more and more mobile. you are a rolling machine! and music, how you love music. it is hilariously adorable when you "sing." your little voice has a rugged twinge to it that makes us laugh every single time.

i am so grateful for the wonder that is you.

happy 23 weeks, chicken!
