We are enjoying the Toddler Ride! J is getting so independent and letting us know what he wants--it is fascinating to watch him learn. At the 15 month dr. visit today, the dr. gave me a pamphlet entitled "Temper Tantrums: A Normal Part of Growing Up."Ummm...
YIKES!!

...but he IS a little bit sick! Anyway, I love the pics. Specially the one with the big feet, little head. And REALLY????? in the 3%???
Short people. Ya gotta love em!
So so cute. He and William have so many similarities in what they are doing and what they like/dislike right now. Oh how they have to meet....
He is beautiful!
WOW 15 months! I remember coming to your house after he was born and seeing this red headed baby sleeping peacefully in his little basket in the living room and my kids so excited to see him and wanting to touch him and then waking him up. OOPS! Oh how time flies! What a cutie!
Lily even danced to the fax machine at that age! So cute! Hmmm...maybe I should have read that paper that the doctor gave me, enjoy this time, independence is coming and it's a little tiresome!
