Lovie & Paci for bed.
Love your warm milk before bed. Also, love to be sung to-- you sing back; so sweet!

You and Logan are playing SO well together. I love watching ya'll come up with a scenario and play it out together. Your brother is teaching you so many wonderful sharing habits and manners.
You have started to sit for periods of time with books and putting puzzles together.  
You LOVE the outdoors! Can't wait for some more of that sunshine weather!
You follow instructions and directions SO well! 
You jabber all the the time, sometimes using your word well and sometimes just saying jibberish.
Words: Mama, Dada, Oooh, Go, Stop, Bath, Ball, Bubbles, Woof-Woof, Bubba (Logan), Car, More, Papi
You continue to sign A LOT rather than using your words. But, you can tell us what you need! 
You have the sweetest pouty face and sure know how to show us when you are not fond of what we are telling you to do. 
When you hear music, it's like your body just knows to dance. ;) 
We have lots of dance parties.
You have the most precious smile and laugh.



Love you in your little blazer. 
This is what happens when we tell you NOT to smile.... BIG OL' SMILE!


And when we say smile for the camera and you don't want to. 


So precious, yet so sad!


Sweet boy! 




Maybe if I look away and drink my milk she will stop taking pictures... 


Not a chance! 


Handsome, HANDSOME BOY!



Another favorite while taking pictures... Does this look cool Mom?!


May not be cool, but it sure is fun!






You my little man (and your brother) are the JOY in our days! 
Watching you could put a smile on any face! 
You are sweet, lovable, handsome, and we couldn't picture a day without you! 
Our prayer for you and your brother this month is: 
"Give Logan and Jackson singleness of heart and action- for you Lord.  may they always fear you for their own good and the good of their children after them.  Make an everlasting covenant with them Father- never stop doing good to them, inspire them to fear you so they will never turn away from you."
Jer. 32:39-40

We love you Pookie-pants, 

Mom & Dad
