Almost two

K's conversation on his toy phone in the tub: "Hello. I listening monkey song. Then, Thomas movie!"

He's going to be two in a week.

A friend who's expecting soon told me about the tiny clothes she had bought. I remember seeing the 12 month pajamas on the same rack while shopping for newborn pajamas, and thinking they were impossibly huge.

My first summer at The Firm, K was just three months old. Another woman said to me, "We have a baby at home, too!" "How old?" I asked. "Two and a half." I remember thinking, "That's not a baby!"

He still cries and wears diapers, but he's not such a baby anymore.

Next week: stay tuned for adventures with a 3-D duck cake!
