Hey Baby!
I just can not get enough of you!
There is so much to catch up on these last couple months.
You run. Everywhere. Walking is no longer something you seem capable of doing. And you are so fast. You can walk up the stairs with no assistance, and can find a way down on your own too. You climb on everything. You love goinng down the slide. You open any cabinet or drawer you can get your hands on and like dumping out your snacks. You LOVE school buses, and all big trucks, but mainly buses. You have 7 teeth.
You love using a fork to eat your food and love drinking water out of my water cup. You love fruit-all of it, you also like yogurt, taco meat, avocado, yogurt melts, apple sauce, pasta, pizza and french fries.
You have a handful of words! Here they are-- Maggie (your first word), Mama, Dada, more, hot, car, ball, bu (bus), hi.
You love pointing to your belly button but to appease us will also point to your nose and eyes.
You started Mothers Day Our at Shepherd of the Hills in September!
I was not sure if you (or I) were ready for it. You started earlier than the other boys, but I was ready to start working a little and a spot opened up and we did not want to pass it up. You go three days a week. You cried the first few weeks but lately have been doing really great at drop off. Every afternoon when I pick you up, you sprint to my arms, immediately wave good-bye to your teachers and point to the door to leave RIGHT AWAY.
The first day, I am not sure you have ever smiled that hard for that long after I picked you up. You kept grabbing my face and looking at me like you could not believe it was really me.The feeling was absolutely mutual!
You are a trooper.
You get brought along for all kinds of activities. Mostly baseball, soccer, footbal, basketball games and practices. Appointments, birthday parties, school conferences, carpools...you name it. You stay up late some nights, we push your naps back, wake you up in the mornings for school drop off....and you take it all like a champ.
Here are a few pics from parties, practices and games.....
You were even lucky enough to come along to Eli's annual allergy appointment:)
A few more cute pics from the last month or so....

The other morning, Eli, Owen and Cash were all mad at me at school drop off. I was feeling lots of mom guilt. It was a beautiful morning and it was just you and me until they got home from school.
So we hopped in the car, and went to the first station! Dad was at the Prevention Office for the first 15 months of your life, so this was your first time! Obviously, you loved it!
On our way home, we stopped at Upper Crust Bakery for a cinnamon roll and for some good truck watching out the window!
You are just an amazing little person.
