My Lego Man

 

18 Months!

18 extraordinary months (!!) with this wondrous 1.5-year-old boy. 

I didn’t expect him to look so old by now, or know how deeply and joyfully and hopefully and fiercely I could love him. Happy Half-Birthday, Peter Clay Martin.

True, he just got a hair cut. But first I need to catch up on some recent pre-haircut pics. 

Part 1: His old infant carseat. While putting some things in the attic, we dug this out to get ready for the baby girl. But I can't keep Peter out of it.  

Part 2: More lunchtime silliness I can't resist posting:

Hanging with Siena

On Friday, Feb 28, Peter and I spent the day in Alexandria with Cousin Siena. 

Here are some cousin portraits. 

(Peter nearly 18 months; Siena nearly 5 months)

He really was quite good with her all day long--attentive but gentle, and eager to show her things and share.
