Babies no more.

{sooc}

That's it.

That's all she wrote.

The fat lady has sung.

Essex is 1, and he's been walking for a few months now.

That, my friends,

 (per my long standing definition on when a baby becomes a toddler) 

means he is no longer a baby.

It's mutual.

We're DONE.

But when I actually say

'there will be NO MORE babies'

my heart doesn't like it. 

It gets that big heavy.....icky feeling. 

*SIGH*

......MY BABY IS ONE!

{trying really hard to be excited about it} 

His little blooming personality though, is absolutely to die for!

Yesterday, I opened the door to let the big kids out.

I knew he would try to get out, so I tried to be a quick, and stealth about it as I could, 

but he still managed to get past me.

With no shoes, and no shirt he SPRINTED out the door!

He was NOT happy about coming back inside. 

I just LOVE seeing him grow to love the outdoors.

*High five self! That's what I call a success*
