Kitty!!!!

Ignacio just had his one year check-up and is a healthy, happy little boy according to Dr. Williams! As Ignacio sat in his stroller stripped down to his diaper the doctor made his way into the room. Ignacio immediately saw that there was a black and white kitty stuffed animal on the doctor's miniature baby stethoscope. Dr. Williams smiled and pulled it off from around his neck to hold it close to Ignacio so he could get a good look. All of a sudden, Ignacio tensed his arms and legs with excitement, smiled so big you could see all his teeth and yelled, "Kitty, titi, kitty!!!!!" The doctor chuckled at the big reaction and as he went to put it back around his neck, Ignacio had lunged for the kitty and had it in his mouth like a puppy dog. That is Ignacio's form of snuggling. As I quickly reached for my little one the doctor gently yanked at the stuffed animal in an attempt to get Ignacio to drop it. He eventually relaxed his jaw just enough for Dr. Williams to retrieve it from his wet mouth. It was a classic moment that I will not soon forget. Besides gnawing at the kitty, Ignacio was told he is in proportion from his head to his toes. The only thing not in proportion with his body is his immense spirit, which has been the most fun to watch grow.
