He's just SOOOOO cute!!

Yes, he is trying to eat a "flower" (weed?) that he picked in our front yard. And yes, I think it's cute. :)

4th of July Weekend Recap

Here are a few more shots from the 4th. This year, Timothy got to ride in his car for the parade, but he'd been up and running around for a while by the time it was time to go that he was pretty tired and out of it. Everyone still thought he was the cutest little thing, though, of course!


On Sunday we had a fun visit from a friend of mine from high school, Susannah, and her family. It's been about 5 years since I've seen her, and it was the first time that I got to meet her girls. They are all very sweet, and when Timothy finally woke up from his marathon nap, he had a good time with them. He even did very well sharing his toys!


Oh, and lastly, Timothy had his 2nd haircut on Friday afternoon. Isn't my little man handsome?!

Happy 4th of July!

I just love this shot that Billy took with his new iphone before we went over to walk in the River Park 4th of July Parade. As you can see, Timothy was all geared up in his patriotic colors, and he rode in his little red roadster in the parade. More photos to come...

16 months = Toddler-rific!

There's just no denying it. My sweet little boy is a baby no longer! Every day he does or says something new & it both warms and breaks my heart. Who knew that all those cliches about them growing up so fast were so very true?! (All the other mamas out there, I suppose!)

Aside from all the talking, Timothy has gotten 4 new teeth in the last two weeks - and before you say "aww, poor baby!", you should know that we didn't even realize they were all coming in until they were there! He'd been drooling like crazy and had his hands in his mouth a lot, but he's been sleeping just fine and hasn't been cranky. You can imagine our surprise when we spied those two molars while inspecting his other teeth! So now, he has the four top and bottom incisors, and two top molars. Wow!

Another cool thing that Timothy can do now is point out all of the parts of the face! He can point to our noses, mouths, ears and eyes (though he hasn't figured out that poking is not so good, so we have to be careful when we ask him to point to our eyes)!! He mostly likes to point out the parts of our faces, but this morning he showed us his own nose, mouth and ears. So cute!!

Lately, he's very interested in seeing pictures of himself, too. He really likes to linger in our hallway - where we have a veritable shrine to him! - and look at/point to every picture. He says "Tah-Tah" when he points, so I think that's him trying to say his name (they call him Tim-Tim at school).

Ah, well. Toddler or not, he'll always be my baby!
