Dear Joshua: You Little Person You

Joshua, you are walking!

I absolutely cannot believe how incredibly

impossibly 

adorable 

you are when you find your legs, steady yourself, and toddle across the floor, with a smile plastered on your face that says,

"Mommy Mommy look! I'm so proud of myself! I'm coming to get you!"

Baby boy, Mommy loves you. You look like an ape when you walk, and I love it. You love showing your teeth when you babble authoritatively, and I love it. You grab my legs and rub your face when you're tired, and I love it. You shake with insane amounts of joy when you see someone you love and I love it. 

Joshua Nelson Lindeen, Mama loves you--you little walking man!
