Can't believe he's 19 months old. It hits me every now and then, such as last night when I was going through all of his baby clothes, putting some aside to share with others, and putting the small stuff away for sentimental keeping. So little he was....I can't imagine that in three months' time, I will have another tiny bundle in my arms. And he will be big enough to lend me a hand with his little sister. Wow. He's recognizing where we are now when we're driving around town. He'll say "Mah-ma-ma" when we near Ken's parents' house. He'll say "Mimi" whenever he sees the civic arena about a mile away.

We're up to the adventure.... - Gardner passed the speech/language and kinesthetic "tests" with flying colors. He's right on target, and even beyond it w
