Happy First Birthday, Judah!!

Well, Judah is finally a year old today. It's truly amazing how fast it went by. I don't even remember him being such a little tiny thing. It seems like I've always known him.

For his first birthday, Judah passed two milestones. The first, and more major one, is that he finally was able to walk across the room. Haltingly and hesitantly, yes, but walking nonetheless.

The second milestone is that I had to clear off his bookshelf of all but board books or vinyl books. It's like the verse in the Bible, Ezekiel 3:3 "Then he said to me, 'Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.' So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth." I don't know what paper tastes like, but if the poor state of those books are any answer, they must be sweet. Judah ate the spines, ate corners off the covers, tore out pages. Finally, I gave up for a while and stored all his paper books until he gets out of this habit.
