This morning, Marley was in Kevin's arms while Kevin grabbed a quick snack before heading to bed. Marley kept eyeing the food, reaching out like, "Hey, hey! Where’s mine?"

I had already made him a delicious hummus sandwich with blackberries and strawberries—pretty gourmet, if you ask me. But just as I was about to hand it to him, he looked at me and said, clear as day, “Egg! Egg!”

This was the first time ever he asked for a specific food.

Excited by his first of hopefully many requests, I made a U-turn straight back to the kitchen to whip up my famous cheesy eggs.

As he settled in with his eggs, I was searching for a Ms. Rachel video when suddenly he said, “Ca.” I suspect he meant car. Lately, he and Kevin have been watching car racing on TV—he loves looking at the screen and cheering, “Go!” and “Bye!” as the cars zoom past.

These little moments feel big. They remind me how far he's come and how much every step matters.

We love sharing these moments with you—thank you for being part of Marley’s journey!
