Well, I'm a day late, but I just can't believe Reeves is already 9 months old! Time has flown by. I never thought time would pass more quickly than summers did when I was a child, but now I know - once you have a child of your own, time is like a snowball. The more time passes, the faster it goes. It seems like just yesterday that we were figuring out breastfeeding, now, suddenly, we're working on finger foods! I remember being convinced when we first tried rice cereal that he would never be able to handle solids and would have to live the rest of his life on Slim Fast and Ensure. I think it was last night that he slept in his car seat on top of his bassinet so that we could catch a couple of hours of sleep, now he sleeps for about 10 to 11 hours a night and is standing up in his crib when I go in in the morning. What a belssing he is. We have learned so much in these last nine months. Bryant and I have relished every small achievment, laughed at him and each other for the things we do to make Reeves giggle, wept together when we sent him off for his surgery, and thanked God for carrying him through it. I can't imagine my life without this child. The happiness, the worry, the love, the frustration, the hope, the giggles, the love, the love, the overwhelming love. He makes every day just that much better.

That was precious, Kak!
There's nothing more rewarding in life than watching your children grow and thrive as you cheer loudly from the sidelines!!
Time certainly does fly! He has grown so much and is so incredibly cute! Why, though, must we insist on making one another cry with the love for our children :)!!! Reeves has great parents!
What a cutie. You sum everything up so well... I completely agree. Time is like a snowball. I am glad to know that my summers went by just as fast as your summers. :)
Kak-
Reeves looks so big in that picture. He looks like a little boy, not a baby - I can't wait for him to meet Grayson.
