dizzle at 10 months.

oh little roman......you're not so little anymore.....

in fact, you're growing rather quickly!!!

we love you sooooo much,

and we especially love................
your cheesy little smile.

your attention to detail.

your erupting little giggle.

your interest in new things.

your love for your momma.

your love for the outdoors.

your eagerness to be independent.

your desire to take off and crawl anywhere.

your blabbering little syllables, of "dadaa" "bubu" and now, finally, "mumma"

your need for momma's presence.

your love to be spun around.

your love to be up so high.

your love of smooches.

your eagerness to walk with help.

your love to get your hands into things.

your love to do things on your own.

your love of refusing to eat (which momma, doesn't love) but here, ah HAH! caught you snarfin up a goldfish.

your love of being nakey. (get this shirt off momma!)

your love to be held.

(and momma's love to hold you)

(and also, momma's love to see your hair grow out and be shaggy.....but.....right now it's just a mess. a hott hott mess....)

your love for your daddy.

your love to be together, us three. it's when you're truly happiest.

and so are we.
