Playing over and over in my head is this great hymn by Charitie Bancroft (1841-1892).

Caleb turned 18 months old on Saturday, and this morning we saw our favorite pediatrician Dr. Worsley. Caleb weighed 27 pounds (65%) and was 35 inches tall (over 100%- actually off the growth chart). He passed the autism screening they do, and he had to get his last immunization until he is 4 years [...]
