Love you, Theo!

Theo and I have had a few rough days together lately. I have a lot of theories: (1) he is frustrated that he is not walking -- can stand up unaided and take tiny steps but then falls; (2) teething, though unlikely because the behavior --incessant hugging and crying -- is only around Jon and me; (3) separation anxiety, especially because I was in the hospital a few weeks ago. I think 3 is the likely culprit but it's running me into the ground. Still, I just wanted to remind everyone, and myself, what an adorable little guy Theo is, climbing in and out of his Radio Flyer, throwing his ball into the seat of his Jumparoo like it's a basket, hugging Sweet Pea like he's protecting her (we forced Sweet Pea on Theo many months ago and now there appears to be genuine affection growing), giggling at everything Daddy does (I am not the funny parent), and hugging me like he needs to remind me I'm loved. We love you, Theo. Just another phase.
