My baby turned four last week and it was SO bittersweet for me. In one sense, I mourned the fact that I have no toddlers or babies around anymore to cuddle. But in the other sense, I rejoiced in the new phase of life where there aren’t poopy-diapered kids hanging on my leg and needing constant attention. I LOVE LOVE LOVE babies. Anyone who knows me, knows how much this is true. But luckily for me, I get to snuggle sweet newborns for my job and that has been wonderful to help ease the pain of being in a “baby-less” household. Well that and the fact that I am SO enjoying some new-found freedom in being able to go to book club, girls night outs, and other social outlets and not having to worry about having babies or toddlers at home at home needing me.

So, here are some captures of my rambunctious, loveable, squeezable, smooch-able four-year-old. He loves to be sneaky and his facial expressions crack me up. I love this kid to the moon and back and could not imagine our lives without him.
