"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

Clark is 1 month old!

***WARNING---Very proud mother of new son alert. High amount of pictures! Consider yourself warned!
Happy 1st month, Clark man! Aw, look at that little grin...

I really don't like the swing when it's moving. I just prefer to lay in it.
Mama likes to dress me up.

This is about as much of a "smile" as I'll give her.

Fat and happy

Big sister likes to play doctor and give me "shots"
I think I'm starting to look more and more like daddy.
I took my first bottle from Daddy!
Cutie patootie
I love to stretch.
Mommy wants to snuggle and squeeze me ALL the time.
Mommy and her friends plopped me in a bucket for pictures. I didn't mind it that much. :)
Sister already makes me play with her dolls...ugh
Mommy can't get enough of my BIG thighs and little feet
I am very strong considering all my weight I have to deal with. This is me pushing up on Daddy's chest.
I am a good sleeper.
Did I mention Mommy likes to dress me up? Here I am as a sailor...
No autographs, please.
All About Me:
*I make the cutest little billy goat grunting sounds all the time.
*I make the sweetest breathy "heh" noise when I nurse.
*I look at Mommy like she's crazy when she makes all these googly faces and "kissy" talk.
* I poop and pee in astronomical amounts all day (and night!).
*Mommy and Daddy are therefore going broke on diapers and wipes.
*Last night I gave Mommy a one month present---I slept a 3 1/2 hour stretch followed by two 4 hour stretches. Mommy was so glad!
*I have stolen Mommy's heart.
*Sister looooooves me.
*So does Daddy. :)
--wearing 6 months clothes

Oh he is so precious and sweet! Is there anything more amazing than a little baby?? And yes, the laundry around here has doubled. LOTS of wardrobe changes - babies are kind of messy. :)
