roll back to belly.-Grabbing at everything! And nonstop bouncing - -Smiling – teething is well on its way…drool EVERYWHERE - Sitting almost unassisted.

18lbs 3oz/28 inches long! scooting all over - Two teeth - Getting up on hands and knees and trying to crawl
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right
up to Heaven
And bring you back again.....
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone
before we knew it
And only God knows why......
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know.....
