"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

15 months

Our little son is now FIFTEEN months.  The time just keeps flying by!  Every time I look up, it's time to post again. Yes, the days are LOOONNNNGG, but the years are s.h.o.r.t.  :( 
We gave him this box of Uncle Lukey's old Duplo blocks to play with, but (something AM had never done) he threw everything out and sat in it.  :)  boys.

He found a hiding place under the sink in Fort Davis.  And this one looks JUST like my baby pictures.  I really need to get those out!

Cousin Brooksy got to stay with us one day!  They are the cutest things you've EVER seen when they're together.

It's becoming more and MORE common for me to catch little brother in random places getting in trouble, and this is a perfect picture of him right now---hair a mess, snotty/drolly/dirty face, running wIlD. :) 

Because the baby book is collecting dust, I will document here:
weighs 28 lbs, 32 1/2" tall
got shots and did not even cry or flinch!  wow.  mommy and the nurse were stunned

looooooooooooooves a banana every morning with breakfast
has dropped the morning nap---it's pretty hard without it some days though!
looooooooooooves big sister the most.  always gets the most laughs
loooooooooves to dance---you should see those chubby thighs bounce!
looooooooves to terrorize the house.  can never be left alone!

remains to be the cutest, squishiest toddler around.  mommy gets as many snuggles in as i can.  he is not allowed to grow up!

Love that Clarky is not only big and squeezable but into everything as well. Welcome to the wonderful, and peaceful somehow, world of boys.
