"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

He's growing up

My baby boy is turning into a bIg boy.  Just a few snapshots of life with Clark lately...

He recently made the switch from the baby bed to a big boy bed.  And a whole new big boy room.  He LoVeS it.  I love that I'm not having to lift him up into the crib anymore, but I don't love that my baby boy is gone.  :(

Freedom!

A new passion/love for all things football has emerged.  He got these "eye black" stickers at a BU game and would not take them off for a week straight.  Yes, he slept and bathed in them.  :)

And he spends alot of time looking through the dirty clothes for his jerseys.  He mUsT wear one EVERY day.  It's the first request he makes when he wakes up.  Yes, they're always in the dirty clothes because we only have 3, and Clark + 7 days a week does not equal three.

Practicing his stance. 
Santa better come up with some more jerseys! :)

And as long as he's fed and rested, he's completely content to play with his trucks and "football mans" either here or in his "big boy room". 
Clark is a phantom triplet of this twinsie set: Liam and Cullen.  :)  The other day when they came over to play, we found them in the baby's new room jumping and laughing/screaming in the crib.  They were so happy with themselves for A: climbing in, B: throwing out all the bedding, C: pooping (I'm serious) simultaneously, and I'm sure D: being so proud of themselves for not being crib sleepers anymore. 
sigh.  It's a GOOD thing they're so stinkin cute.  Meg and I were laughing hysterically.   We did not expect to see this when we came around the corner!

***I just realized he has a jersey on in every picture except the one in pajamas.  I wasn't kidding.  :)
