This was when we still called him "Little T". Age 14 months. I love this kid. Talmage is growing up, navigating the challenges of his world and relishing new skills. Last week he got an immunization shot (secondary to my poor bookkeeping). He was very brave about the whole thing. He hunched up and clutched Mr. Bear in anticipation. When he was poked, his eyes opened wide in shock and he sharply inhaled. But he didn't cry. When it counts, Talmage can be stoic.This morning for the second time, Talmage rode his bike while I ran. Usually I run with music. But not when I run with Talmage. Here is music to my ears: watching his little boy body, hunched over his handlebars, short legs pedaling as furiously as possible, and then hearing him holler out "Yeah-hooo!" as he thrills at his breakneck speed.
Happy Valentine's Day, Talmage.
I love you.
Mom

How our little T has grown! I remember Laur and I going for a walk with him when we were in Hillsboro last April for Clara's blessing. He had training wheels and would zoom out ahead and then wait for us...Daddy & Clara and Grandpa & Grandma with Syd in the stroller (sometimes). We're glad you are brave, Talmage.
