684. Map of My Heart (Sunday 1)

Hi Blog Friends!  I have decided that in addition to Design Weekends, I will also have Map of My Heart Sundays where I show pictures of Tall or Short when they were tiny or anything else special and wonderful that makes my heart sing.

To kick us off, here is Tall at about 8 months old.  He loved his little giraffe toy and would chew on it non-stop (like a puppy).  The giraffe had the funniest tail (not shown) that was like a cord with a pom-pom ball on the end.  I (as a new mommy) was scared to death that Tall would chew that pom-pom off and choke on it the way he was constantly chewing on it and sucking on it (teething I guess).  One day, when he was napping, I did the unthinkable:  yep, I cut the pom-pom part of the tail off.  Of course Tall is so smart that he totally noticed.  I am a bad mommy and the pom-pom tail is just more proof.  *sigh* 


I have no idea how to turn this photo 90 degrees.  Please tilt your head instead, it's easier for me. 

I remember being quite worried that Tall would fling himself out of this chair while I attempted to take this picture.  I am amazed you cannot see my left hand in the photo overprotectively bobbing about to prevent imminent disaster. 

Have a great day!
