Today, TJ is two months old. But bigger news yet, his sister, Samantha turned 10 today. Yep, double digits. What a contrast in age. Rich and I were talking last night about how much happens between 2 months and 120 months of life. So much to be proud of with Samantha and so much to look forward to with TJ. Life and growing up is truly an amazing process.
I can say that because in the past two months TJ continues to amaze me with his growth and development. Just the other day Rich and I realized just how long he has gotten in the past few days. By long we mean thin and tall, I guess. His legs stretched overnight. He is going to be one tall dude. Maybe even a basketball player!? His face is filling out, his smiles are getting better and more consistent and he even uttered his first "oooooh" on Sunday.
I am enjoying this time with my son. I am enjoying getting to know him and watching him change and grow right under my eyes. Yes, he has got months and months to go to reach the 120 month milestone. So instead we will just marvel and Samantha's growth and development as a 10 year old and make sure to celebrate her accomplishments too. Right now she is at summer camp learning how to sail, kayak and even water ski. We have loved getting her letters home that tell of her progress and all the fun that she is having at camp. In her letters we see that her spelling and penmanship is getting better. We will see Samantha in a few days when we pick her up from camp. I do not think we will notice that her legs have stretched like TJ's but I do know that we will discover some amazing changes in Samantha as well.
I guess it never stops. Happy Birthday, Sam!
