Shepherd, you are such a blessing to your Daddy and me! You are starting to play back with us and we love hearing you laugh. We know you are a deep thinker and love trying to figure out what you are going to do next. We can't wait to see all the new milestones you are going to be achieving over the next few months! We love you as high as the mountains and as deep as the sea!
