Happy Half

Alekzander,

In just half of a year, you have made our family whole.  Right here in Charlotte and Cornelius, all the way up in New York, and out on the coast of North Carolina, you have brought smiles to our eyes and happiness to our hearts.

Your laugh is completely edible.  Dada and I will do anything to make you giggle.  You love playing peek-a-boo and belly nuzzles bring you great joy.  Your little arms flap with excitement when you see something you like or want.  Without fail, a high-pitched squeal of delight exits your mouth soon after seeing the dogs and cat each morning.

You have an adventurous little soul.  You love to swing... high and fast.  You love speed... in a shopping cart and in the baby jogger.  You like to climb and you love to move.  You are a little monkey, our little "Zoo."  Anything that can be banged or pounded, you do it!  You are our little Bam Bam.

So fun.  So content.  So sweet.  So lovable.

We love you, Zoo.  Happy half year of life.
