How does he know? How is it that a child can be born knowing their birth order? How did L know that HE was the baby of the family, by a matter of seconds but the baby none the less? L is my baby. He is a whopping twenty-two pounds and a good two and a half inches shorter than his twin sister. He lives to be held and cuddled, loved on and snuggled. He is the baby of the family down to his little core.
He came to us a little over four pounds and although we knew he was small and struggling in the womb, we never expected him to be that small. The place he has taken in our family is anything but small. L, like my other children, has filled a void that I never realized was there. How did he know? How did he know that to deal with his strong willed sister, his mommy would need a baby that NEEDED her, that craved her attention while his sister craved her freedom? He is precious to me, precious to all that know him. That, I know he knows!
Meet my son, my baby L.
He is sweet and a joy to be near.
He can bring a smile to anyone.
He is beautiful and the love (as are all of them) of my life!
Meet my son
