Two Years and a Lifetime Later

December 29th will always be a special day for me, since two years ago, I saw this for the first time:

The first sign of the little Bear

Of course, I didn't believe it (or the three First Response tests I had taken that morning) so I took about 17 more.

But the test was right. And by December 29, 2009, we had this to show for it:

Wee-Bundled Bear

And of course, we all know the story. Our little guy continues to grow and change, and today brings us this:

Please-Pass-the-Salt Bear

Scotty has hit yet another milestone that excites parents and just about no one else. He's in a booster seat! Wa-hoo! He looks like such a big boy sitting at the table by himself.

Gone is the high chair and the endless clean-up; now I get to scrub our table and his little seat after every meal. I have officially moved the broom into the kitchen for permanent residency, since there are more scraps on the floor than I can pick up. Is it time to get a dog yet?

(I would like to thank my sister for all of her help in the selection of the booster seat. The Fisher Price Healthy Start chair in green/blue was ultimately the winner, which now means Scotty and Ben not only have the same Little People's Farm and head circumference, but also the same booster seat. Hooray for cousins!)

So happy December 29th to all of you. I wonder what December 29, 2011 will bring??
