Spicy nugget #1 and #2

I’m bad at remembering to blog. Been a little over a year since the last one (whoops!)

I cannot believe (I mean I can but … you know what I mean…just roll with it) that this little spicy nugget is about to be TWO YEARS OLD!!! Whew!

Here he is sporting jammies from my favorite comic book hero as well as after playing in his water table (he loves water play time).

We’re so blessed that he is starting to speak at more-or-less the same way typical (we don’t say “normal”!) toddlers do. I say this because it is not uncommon for there to be hearing and/or speech issues or delays with Down Syndrome, but this little dude is not letting anything hold him back. “Up!” is his current word, and he says it with such finesse and energy.

Age is all based on perspective. To some I myself am young, but to others I’m old. Same goes for a kid (he’s young, he’s old…) But who cares? I do. After a little bit of introspection, it’s just “one of those things” in life that you (I, really) stop and go “hmm, wow!” to because otherwise 3, 4, 5, …even 10 years have passed and it’s like the movie Click and everything has zoomed by you, perhaps on auto-pilot.

On the same token (age), just as I’m about to have a two year old, I am about to have a newborn. “Wow”, indeed! Our little Coody Bug family is growing and we cannot wait to welcome spicy nugget #2 😁 into it.

Here’s a fantastic 3D pic of numero dos from just the other day.

Their age gap is probably my favorite part (so far), and what I’d consider a pretty perfect one. There will be just a little over two years between them. Plenty enough for them to go throughout the same age-related phases of life together and build lifelong bonds. We’re excited for their journey together as well as individually.

That’s all for now! Until next year (jk!). Eh hem. Let me get my proper sign off.

Until next time,

Andrew
