"A portrait of my child once a week, every week, in 2014."

Lately, you've turned into the biggest flirt.  You smile and turn on your charm every time we go out, and you especially love the ladies.  I love seeing your little smile and squinting eyes, but I'm not ready for you to grow up so fast.

You feel asleep in my arms the other day, and it was the sweetest thing.

Your new favorite activity!  I let you play this game once while I was trying to fold your clothes, and now that's all you want to do.  You crawl over to your dresser like you're on a mission and just start pulling everything out.  I know you could be getting into worse things, so sometimes I let you just go at it and take as much out as your little heart desires.  You're only little once!

Here you are trying on your beanie for your Halloween costume and not wanting to keep it on.  (Surprisingly, you left it on most of the night.)  You were the cutest little lumberjack ever!

It's so amazing seeing you grow up and discover new things and become your own little person.  I can't wait to see the boy and man you become, but I don't want this time to go by so fast.  Selfishly, I want you to stay my baby forever!  (I guess that's something all mamas struggle with.)

How did my baby turn into a little boy overnight?!  You are getting so big and wanting to do big boy things all the time.  You love walking around the house with your push walker and climbing up on everything.  You sure do keep me on my toes, and I have a feeling that it's only going to get worse from here on out.

Even though you're my little wild child, you're the sweetest boy this mama could ever want.  You still like to play with my hair when you nurse and give lots of snuggles when you wake up from a nap.  I want to bottle those moments up!
