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...

And so it begins....

The nicknames that is! :)
It's just a part of being in this family; your Mama has been creating nicknames for her loved ones for many years. Can't help it, it just happens! And now it seems your brothers have the same gene :) hee hee!
To date your new names include:

• Bug
• Buggaboo - You recognize these because Mama has called you Bug since the day you arrived. Nearly every song is sung with Bug in it :)
• Johnny - this is everyone's favorite. It was given to you by your big brother Benjamin and there is a certain way that both big brothers say it that just makes all who hear it smile (just like you!!).
• J Hawk - Lovingly given by your Papa who loves your mohawk!
• Chunky Monkey - more delicious than the ice cream!!!
• Widdo, widdo widdo bwadda - With love from your Hairy Brother

BLUE

Just BLUE!! :)

When you wear this color, people see you and are mesmerized by those eyes! Oh my!!
