oh hello there...







oh how i love this little man.




even when he has me running all over the place to catch him.  

(these pictures were taken out at gramps and granny's.  before we left i had to lure you, little man, to the car with m&m's.  you could have played outside all day.  well, me too though.  that place just does it to you.)

oh buddy

  i can't stop with the camera and your silly faces.   since we've been back from all of our trips, we have definitely been enjoying our down time.  and with that down time, we have also been enjoying you becoming such a big boy!  letting us know what you want and when you want it.  you are very persistent with your signing "please" and it has been very hard for this mama to turn it down in the stores.  but im trying very hard.  


we have enjoyed a few weekends with just us.  me, you and dadda oh yes and ice cream.  why not?


the book exchange we participated in has taken your addiction to books to a whole new level.  


we enjoyed a super bowl party where you weren't too sure of what to make of the ginormous tv screen.


and because you are growing like a weed, we've picked up a few new pair of pajamas lately.  the buzz pajamas have been the most exciting.  you get so excited to put them on.  you even try helping hurry the process, along with telling me who is on them "buu!  buu!"  


maybe my picture taking craze is rubbing off on you.  after a few poses you run to see what the picture looks like and run back and try it again.  : /


after about 3 minutes you loose interest.




with the cold/hot weather we've been having ...we went out to our park.  for you it was a whole new world.  it's been probably since thanksgiving that we were out there last. 


of course you can't really escape the camera there either.  :)  
but we had a fun game of hide and seek.   boo! 


we had friends come and visit on rainy days....



and we have been patiently waiting to celebrate st. valentine's day :)


looking forward to having you and daddy for my valentines
xxoo

my new favorite picture

i've been patiently waiting to get a copy of this...


Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.  They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.  Psalm 127

i'm still on a family high from this last christmas ;) 





pray!

please pray so hard for our friends and their sweet baby boy joshua.
