Bub is now several inches taller than me, and as a preteen is beginning to put on a bit of weight — he’s not overweight though, not in the least — and I want to know how this happened. Wasn’t he a baby yesterday?

Monster was never this little, and I will go to the grave refusing to believe that he was, damn it.

Monster loves going to the dentist and well visits and is so compliant for all of them now.

Monster loves the sunglasses that they give him when he comes here, and I love this picture of him!

He wasn’t afraid of anything in this picture, he was just tired and nodding off when I took it.
