9 months

Oh Magnus. Dear, sweet you... Morning, midafternoon and night - you are the fire we all gather around for warmth. Kasper and AnaSofia literally race into our bed each morning when they wake to hear you gurgling. Bleary-eyed and sleepy you happily accommodate all the love, kisses and hugs. You are used to an audience and love all the attention. Those two little bottom teeth pop out in a smile with such grace...

AnaSofia and Kasper have such a close bond, I worried you might be left out - too young to be part of their imagining, playing and wildness... But you fit right in somehow, they have made a special space for you. I am so grateful to all of you for that...

I am realizing it also means that at nine months you are much older than the other two were at the same age. Trying to keep up... Mama is paying close attention to the hours and minutes as you slip out of babyhood more quickly than she could ever have imagined.

Wait for me every now and then, okay?
