Nostalgia

On the occasion of Elio's 11-month birthday. This morning, I was holding Elio and he was sprawled from my shoulders practically to my knees. Guy and I were marveling that he used to fit inside of my belly. And then Guy started telling him how he used to be just the size of his pinky toe. And then he was the size of his big toe. And then he was the size of his foot. And on and on. And now he's this big boy who's almost walking and talking and laughing...and just such a boy! We're planning his first birthday party and the time is just zooming. So, in an attempt to slow things down a little, here is our very first picture of Elio (before we knew he was an Elio).
