    My son is now nearly 11 months old, and every day he amazes and humbles me. He is teaching me patience and compassion, and helping me relearn the joys of being a child. I look into his eyes and I can see myself, and I can also see his mother. He's developing a strong sense of humor, and he is starting to speak to us, even though it's still complete gibberish. It's hard to put into words how. proud I am of how he's growing up, and who he's turning into. He's such a joyous, loving little guy.

    He loves to pull himself up to standing on anything he can reach, cruise around and throw everything on the ground. He also loves his books, which I arranged by color the other day. This face, it is everything to me.

    • I miss those days. Kids change you for the better, for sure.aslip
    • he's so proud of his books! awesomehotroddy

    • Every day at that age you get to see them learn something new. Seeing their wonder and enthusiasm really helps dull the cynicism for a while. :-)PhanLo

    • and both kids have amazing senses of humour... grew up watching SNL and Monty Python etc...exador1
