High Flying Boy....

We should have had some idea of the personality that awaited us by the middle of the night arrival and the crowd that joined us for Whitt's entrance (he was born at a teaching hospital so there were a few residents as well as the doctor and two nurses), but he fooled us. He was an extremely laid-back baby. He slept, he ate, he smiled, he giggled. Then he turned ten months and around that time, he learned to pull-up and walk/ run behind his pushcart. It was literally amazing. He would stand up behind it, throw "blankie" on top of his head, and take off. He could even do 360s behind it. Also around that time he started babbling, then talking pretty much the entire time he was awake. Whitt has the energy level of a tasmanian devil, and these days Mae says, "excuse me" over and over just trying to get a word in. Whitt keeps us on our toes. That being said, I delight in who he is. He is laughter and joy wrapped up into one package. He has so much energy and passion in that little body, and he loves harder than anyone I know. Behind his long, black eyelashes are these pale eyes that are so honest. When you look into them, you see every emotion he is experiencing. He is our high-flying boy! We love you.
