it's beginning.

teething.

As I was playing on the floor with Nathanael today, he put my face between his hands and pulled my face to his. Instant frustration. He shrieks.

His thoughts:

Mommy's face will NOT fit in my mouth even if it fits in my hands. Darn.

Gumming all over a plastic ring...they're on the way.

So my goal now? To document his smile in my heart and on film. His smile will never be the same again. I remember this with Hadleigh...the first year and a half of life I watched her smile constantly change. For the better and cuter, for sure, but stilllllllll....

I love those big {empty} smiles!
