Things have been insane around here. Ezra turned one on Friday. My little baby boy is not so little anymore. A year ago he was this tiny, fragile newborn who spent more time sleeping than anything else. Now, he's got his own personality and he gets into anything he can get his little hands on. He's starting to talk and walk and he has his daddy all figured out. He's mastered that pout that I've seen more times than I can count on Taylor's face. He is honestly a splitting image of his dad. He's got my eyes, but he has Taylor's nose and smile and hair.
Having Taylor back with us has had a bigger impact on Ezra than I could have imagined. He refuses to go to sleep at night without having his daddy sing to him. He loves watching Taylor perform and will often point at Tay and babble away happily.
A year ago I had given up hope for us, I thought it would be Ezra and myself with occasional visits from Taylor. I didn't think we would become the family we are now. Sometimes when I'm lying next to him, I still wonder if I'm dreaming. When he reaches for me and pulls me closer to his body and whispers against my hair that he loves me, I know this is real. This is how we're meant to be.
On a different note, Marion, I'm sorry the plans fell through for the joint birthday party. I've sent out tickets for you and Kaisa to join us in New York for the concert at Carnegie Hall. We can have a belated party for the babies there and all that fun stuff. I hope you can make it. :-*
