I’m slowly going through my 2011 photos to date in Lightroom – deleting crap photos, adding keywords, adding ratings – all with the hopes to make a 2011 photobook.   I actually enjoy this process, especially as Miles approaches his 2nd birthday.  That kid… he’s grown so much in the past 9 months.  Tonight, as I was reading him one book, he crawled out of his bed, picked up _Moo Baa La La La_ and actually said “moo baa la la la”.  I was shocked.  I mean, this kid hasn’t been saying anything coherent.  I was kinda worried that he wasn’t saying any words (well, besides ‘doggie’ and ‘da da’ I don’t get a ‘mama’ or ‘mommy’ which is a bit of a sore point with me.  I’m hurt you know? Anyway.)  Late talker, yeah ok.  He understands what we tell him, what we ask him, but nothing intelligible coming out of his mouth. But not tonight.  I still can’t believe it.  

I love watching him grow.  And learn.  I never imagined parenting would be this much fun.
