When the baby came home... a look back on Ziggy's year-and-a-half-birthday

Yesterday, my little guy turned 18-months-old. I don't usually go in for half-birthday demarcations, but for some reason this milestone made me go all poignant. Probably because Ziggy is possibly my last. But also because regardless of other babies he isn't a baby anymore, and I do like me a baby in the house. On the bright side? He can now play with all the 18-months+ toys! So bring on the celebrations!

It really does seem like just the other day we were coming home from the hospital (without a shred of Disney newborn marketing, my how times have changed).  I remember the day like it was yesterday:






And the conversations:
Magpie: Can we pet the baby now?
Mom: Sure, you can "pet" the baby.

Kay: Uh, Mom?
Mom: Yes, honey?
Kay: Um, why do you still look pregnant?

And Ziggy today?

Just another man on his cell phone running for the train, late for the office again...

How time just flies...

OMG what an adorable picture of the little guy. He is about 30 years ahead of his time.
