i have a routine it seems!! i don't adjust to change very well so i'm actually smiling right now cause things are getting to a norm. i have to say that i love staying home! i don't have to get my child bundled up before heading out or rush to be somewhere on time!! my day is full of noises, crys, smiles, laughs, diapers, crawling, outside fun, playing, loving, etc. its not always fun and i of course have those moments at least once a day that i think "oh my goodness i can't believe i have three kids crying, three dirty diapers, and toys everywhere... aaaahhh" but once that thought passes i once again realize how blessed i am to be home!!

so on to john. he is such a big boy these days. last week i heard him playing and singing! he talks all the time and i'm amazed at all the words he already knows... ball, sock, shoe, outside, cutter, daddy, mommy, nana, papa, ride, cow, chicken, bottle, toe, nose, ear, hair, mouth, eyes, belly, puppy, ty ty, hungry, more, hot, no, etc. every week he has a new word. i think he has alot of his mom in him. loves to talk! kinda scary but love hearing his small voice. he also loves to play outside. every hour i hear outside outside. i love his smile. after watching other kids in my home on a daily basis i realize more and more how john just has a smile all the time. i am so in love with this little man. i love how he delights in the small things... a funny look or noise, chasing a puppy named lacie, running from one side of the room to the other, playing vrroomm vrroomm, laughing at cutter, giggling with daddy, telling us where every single cow is in our including the heavy cream bottle in the fridge, lining up his cars in his own little way, oh i could go one forever but this lady needs to get some sleep to start a new week. oh next friday girl's night!!! yeah so excited to hang with my girls!!

here is some recent shots amber took one afternoon with the boys!!
