While I can't take full credit for this one, I am more proud of having this fabulous little boy than all of the other stuff I did. He was born May 30, 2012, thirteen days after his due date. He waited until just six hours before the scheduled induction to trigger labor and get the party started. Born at 5:29pm, he weighed in at 8 pounds, 1.2 ounces, and was 20.5 inches long.
At about eight and a half months now, he continues to be awesome. With eight VERY sharp teeth, he's eating solids; he's cruising around between pieces of furniture and daring himself to take steps; he's demonstrating his frightening ability to climb more than one stair at a time; he says "Mama" discriminately; and, he has learned exactly what cry will ensure that he gets picked up every single time he makes it because it is so heartrending. Smart guy.
While having a kid isn't exactly a "Big Idea," it sure is one hell of a big project. And it's a project that never ends. As long as you live. My favorite!
