This Is The Age...

Look at this face. This adorable, perfect face! This boy, at this age...this is the stage of parenting a child where you feel like you could have 100 of them. The words are tumbling out in various stages of clarity (particularly cute right now is "juice" and "snack"), the hugs and kisses are plentiful, the enthusiasm is addictive. Your heart is about to burst from the happiness of creating this life.

Of course, in a few years they drive you crazy by combusting over the ham and eggs you made them for breakfast that they have loved every other time, wadding up a perfectly clean and pressed and expensive party dress in their hamper because they were too lazy to hang it back up when told that it wasn't appropriate lazy Sunday morning attire, and screaming that they can't find their backpack when it is in fact two feet away only they're too lazy to look for it themselves. Whew. Sorry, rough morning with Lauren.

But right now, Hudson rocks.

i guess there have to be a few of those stages along the way to keep you from strangling them along the way! :) I can't wait for the happiness stuff that is....very cute photo. I can't believe how fast they grow.
