A Journey of a thousand miles...

And so you’ve started walking. Not all the time, no, speed-crawling is still your primary mode of transport (and believe you me, you are very speedy!). But you have started to take a few independent steps here and there, when you feel like it. The first time it happened you were amazed. As you walked from mummy to daddy you giggled with each step, you smile so wide, you were so excited. It was as if you could not believe what you were doing, you were just so proud of yourself. And we were proud of you too, our eyes welling with tears as you walked between us. It’s amazing to watch someone change from this tiny little baby into a little walking human being, and watching you, giggling away and beaming with joy made us feel even more amazing.

We hope that you have lots of those giggly, proud, perfect moments in the journey ahead, Wilbur; we hope that your life is full of such joy.

Because you have certainly brought such joy to our lives.
