Those eyes, those eyes!

Like the sky or the deepest ocean blue....

A face straight from the heavens.

Movin on Up!

First it was the new view from your seat on the floor....then it was the new view from the HIGH CHAIR and the GROCERY CART!!

And now, my chunky monkey is sitting in the bathtub!! :( How can this be?? Weren't you just in the infant tub yesterday??

Your favorite spot in the evenings...just before Mama showed you, you could sit up here too! :)

Good lord....I might eat my own child!

Now the whole family watches you take your bath because we just can't get enough of the chunkiness and your sheer happiness of sitting in the tub. Those bubbles are certainly amazing!! :)

The March Lion

I think everyone will agree that March can roar in like this lion ANY day!!

He has had quite the opposite affect on the weather....spring has been just as beautiful and gorgeous as he is!!

Happy First St. Patrick's Day

Mama was SO proud to wear her special shirt last St. Patty's Day! :)

And look who was in there...my little leprechaun!!
I most certainly found a pot of gold (the most delicious kind!!)

My THREE little leprechauns!

Happy First St. Patrick's Day to you Jonathan!

The next stage is here!

It's official, you have mastered sitting up and are SO proud!

How am I doing this??

The new digs...very excited!

Full concentration

Your brothers are giddy because now they sit with you on your blanket and bring you toys to play with.
Benjamin likes to say "Come on Johnny, let's go to work." And then he and Christian "work" on their pretend typewriters or computers sitting on your blanket and you "work" on spinning some noisy toys (much to your delight!).
You still love when Mama sits with you but I know the days are numbered when you will be in one place for any length of time. So I am enjoying ALL of our cuddling and your excitement over your new view!

Your First Ride on the Swing

Your brothers introduced you to their "castle" (i.e. playset) today and you were wide-eyed and enthralled with the whole idea of the swing.

All of this gorgeous spring weather is bound to bring you many more new adventures!!

Our first spring picnic

Spring is here!! Your very first!
The weather is glorious! The flowers are blooming all around us! And you get to enjoy your first of what will be many, many picnics on the porch!

This sunshine and warm breezes thing is pretty sweet Mama! :)

HOORAY FOR SPRING!
And hooray for spring outfits - chunky thighs are free!!

Mama had to hold you still from all that jumping!

Oh my!! My mouth is watering...
