i heart my snap

So, we have a toddler.

A proper, fully fledged walker.

We were so excited about the prospect of him walking,

and now he's doing it.

And he seemingly changed over night.

He seems to have grown instantly.

But at the same time seems smaller.

I know it sounds strange,

but seeing him vertical all the time definitely makes him seem taller.

You could never really get a grasp of how big he was when he crawled all the time.

And now he is striding around at his full height like a big boy.

But at the same time,

he just looks so small.

Too small even.

It doesn't seem possible that our beautiful boy can walk.

Which is why I love this picture.

It gives my new walker some scale,

as he walks along hand in hand with his best friend.

Yes, he is still our little boy,

our little baby,

but he's a big boy now too.

I love how they both have one foot raised

as they stroll together.

I love how their bodies are sort of angled towards each other.

I love how small one hand looks in the other.
