How much do I love this little boy already?

Shared by erika at June 11, 2008 3:54 PM

I love this one - he has so much hair and his eyes are so alert - it's as if he's looking right at me! (And with such intelligence, if I do say so myself!) His mouth reminds me of Keegan's. And I love his big eyes! Wish I could be there to see him in person!!
