I've been working hard on Christmas stuff and I'm doing fairly well. Christmas shopping is done, Christmas making not so much. But I'll get to that later this week.

Today is my birthday - 31 years old. I was thinking about doing a big introspective post about how great this year was and how it really changed everything for me, but I think I'll save that for New Years. For today I want to give you the gift of adorableness that I get to live with every day.

Atti's a little bit speech delayed as a result of his disability, but you wouldn't know it based on how much jibber jabber comes out of this little guy all day. He's got the T and K sounds down, so everything he says includes those, but it's pretty funny how everything he loves most - kitties, kisses and tickles - can be expressed with just that much skill.



This one is my favorite. I don't know where he picked this up, it just sprung naturally out of his little positive spirit. It is the best thing ever to be mid conversation and have Atti back me up with one of his emphatic Yeah!'s. He's very agreeable.



He always says it just like that too - full bodied. Like he's ready to provide the muscle behind whatever scheme I've got going that day.

This kid is pretty darn great.
