oh sweet arlo, how did you do it? how did you manage to make eleven months go by in a blink? and just when i think you couldnt possibly get any cuter you manage to bowl me over with those eyes, those cheeks and that grin. i keep putting your little hand in mine to somehow stamp in my memory how soft and chubby it is, just how small it really is. i just know that in no time you will be running to keep up with eliot and collette, you will be on the top of the dog piles on dad and you will be telling me about your day in halting sentences. little lady i love you so much, you will always be my baby no matter how big you get.
