Glad to Have You Back....

How many of us like to hear that? "Glad to have you back." A sweet short phrase that says it all.

Sorry that it's been so long since I updated this...but, with a new baby.... there is no time. The fact that I'm balancing being a new mom, a so/so wife and good sister...well, there is not much left for me. Since I have written, my baby has learned how to crawl and pull himself up. He's getting so big... He'll be 8 months on September 26.....wow, I'm still in awe with everything about him. He is still chubby and adorable... Oh, and he can also say "Mummm aaaa." We hug everytime we see eachother. That full bodied one. Of course, he has not choice as I am hugging him ever so tight. He has had a bad cold the last few weeks...and now I think I'm getting it. Oh, well, we lovingly refer to his as the "vilian".... Never knowing who he will lure into his chubby hands..only to spread some terrible germs. But, yet I fall for his affections EVERY TIME knowing that I will probably get sick again. That's okay, though... The fact that he wants affections, makes the small colds worth it. I wouldn't change a million wet kisses for not having a cold. I've waited a lifetime for this child...and I got one with extra cuteness... and cuddleness... not sure that that is a word... as far as milestones are concerned:

That's all I can think about for now. There is, of course, so much more to say about my little sweetie. But, I will close for now....

I'll write again about meeting the family....

Ciao for now....
