I'm William Walden. I am ten months old today. To date, I:
- Have five teeth
- Still nurse like a champ
- Think my brothers are the funniest people I have ever met
- Love people, especially people who laugh and smile
- Look ridiculously cute in yoga pants
- Have taken a step or two, but am just not quite ready to walk on my own
- Love food. All food. Except bananas.
- Wrinkle my nose and hyperventilate when I get really excited
- Have tiny feet and tiny hands and am still what Mom calls "petite"
- Cry giant crocodile tears when my feelings get hurt
- And have sunshine in my veins, moonbeams in my heart, rainbows on my mind, and music in my voice. I am a life-lover. I am joy.
The family. We are a little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.
