In honor of Teagan turning 8 months old today….I thought I’d post a photo of him at 8 days old….

oh man….has he changed a lot….8 months old, just a quick snap on our way out the door this morning….

it’s amazing how big he is, how fun he is. and how those things make me so happy, and so sad, at the same time. seeing him grow makes my heart swell and ache, all at once. i am sure it’s the “this is my last baby” reality sinking in. but i’m not sure how he got so big, so fast. he’s my happy […]
