Then and now

Then and now. Luke has gotten bigger. Pumba (one of Simba's trusted friend) has, or seems to have, become smaller. ;)

Like any other child, Luke has grown so much. So fast, so marvelous, so awesome. As a mom, I am so fulfilled and glad to see him change and grow. Looking at his earlier photos brings a smile to my already smiling face, for I get to remember those times when he was still very tiny and fragile. And now, look at him -- so independent, so active, so strong-willed, and so noisy and messy too! He is so helpful in the house he likes to cook, clean the floor, do the laundry, fold (unfold, scatter?) the clothes -- although he creates more mess in doing so. He is a real joy in our home. And it is truly an amazing experience to be his mom ... ;)

Another big thing I am so thankful for is that he has finally outgrown his rashes. Those tiny red ugly bumps on his face and body have subsided. No more hard-scratching, no more irritations, no more wounds. A few red spots are intermittenly appearing due to the changing season/weather, but those are manageable now.

Here's to a never-ending wonderful days with Luke! ;)
