My Little Scooter

I must say that I am one happy lady these days. Work is going really, really well. I am currently working with a group of people (old + new faces) that are so supportive. I am enjoying what I do professionally, and the program I coordinate is finally coming together. But, I did feel a sting of jealously when my friend told me she had decided not to return to work after her extended maternity leave. She had come to the decision to be a stay-at-home mom. From my brief experience, being a full-time mommy is the hardest, most physically exhausting job there is. It also happens to be the most joyful and rewarding. I am proud of my friend.

As far as life with Lawry, he is one on the go little boy. His mode of transportation is the scoot. He places both of his hands in front of him, then swings his legs forward. It seems like it is just as fast as crawling. The only things that stop him are rugs. His vocabulary consists of Mom, mama, Dad, dada, baba (pretty much the same). His favorite game is still pass and playing with his ball. He can catch his big ball mid-air after bouncing it. His eyes sparkle when he looks at me, and he can take my breath away in an instant.

Checkout Lawry scooting. He is faster at it now, but you get the idea. That is a small "rubber duckie" in his mouth:



Lawry is turning one next month. He will be off to college soon. Will I always be in this much awe of him? My guess is yes.
