So my mom is now combining weeks.

What is that all about?

Thing 3 Little Hat Tahoe CA1

I mean seriously shouldn’t this be a weekly face?

Maybe it’s becase I keep her so busy that she doesn’t have much time to be on the computer.

After all I started crawling. Then the following week I tried pulling myself up.

Maybe mommy will lay off the hand sanitizer. Doubtful!

And I experienced the cold for the first time.

The kind of cold where your parents have to dress up in said  fluffy hazmat  suit.

I’m not sure how I felt about it.

It was so cold that the shore of Lake Tahoe was frozen solid.Brent Thing 3 Instagram IG Lake Tahoe CA

I’m glad daddy is strong and steady.

And that mommy doesn’t mind laying down on the ice like a weirdo to take our picture.

It’s a miracle.
PicMonkey Collage Christmas Mess CA 2014

It was my first Christmas.
My big brother helped me open most of my presents.

PicMonkey Collage Thing 3 Christmas morning 2014 ca

I got a piano, cars, a wooden zebra from my brother, and something called a rotary phone.
I’ve never seen anything like it.

BUT…
Thing 3 Trash Christmas 2014 CA

…my FAVORITE things were the boxes and paper.
All that paper!!!!!
I could have chewed on it all day.

PicMonkey Collage brent christmas 2014 ca

I wasn’t the only one who got presents. Daddy got coffee, pralines, and a Kindle.
(Daddy gets a little crazy for coffee.)

Thing 1 Christmas 2014 CA

My brothers kept opening cards with pieces of paper in them.
They guarded their paper like they do their computers.
Kinds selfish if you ask me. I just wanted to taste it.PicMonkey Collage Cat Unicorn Thing 2 Christmas CA 2014

My big brother did get this cool Evil Inflatable Unicorn Horn for Cats.
I’m not sure Meow Cow liked it all that much though.

PicMonkey Collage Crazy Christmas Pets CA 2014

He didn’t like his Santa Clause hat either but Nico didn’t really mind her antlers.
I wouldn’t have minded them either. They looked like they would be great to chew on.

So apparently Christmas is AWESOME.
I can’t wait for the boxes and paper next year.

This week started off with a Father’s Day celebration in Indiana at my Weewah’s house. Unlike for Mother’s Day we actually took pictures. Mama says that’s what happens when she takes most of the photos.

Family Fathers Day IN

I was also initiated into the Father’s Day shirt tradition. Every each I have to make a shirt for my dad. My brothers had their own Father’s Day onsies when they were little too. Someday mama is going to begged Weewah to make a t-shirt quilt out of them. This year Thing 1 picked a mustache theme for everyone. I was glad I didn’t have to think about what I would put on mine.

Thing 2 kissing thing 3 IN

Kisses from my big brother.

Funny Boys Fathers Day IN

They thought it would be cute to make it look like I was balancing on my brother’s shoulders.

You know how I I feel about “being cute”.

TT meeting Thing 3 IN

I also got to meet lots of people for the first time.

TT and Thing 3 meet IN

This is my “TT” who I was named after. His name isn’t “TT” (and neither is mine), it’s a nickname mama gave him years ago. It stands for “Twinkle Toes”.

TT Mommy Thing 3 Week 10 IN

Mama spent lots of time with TT and GG  in high school and college. During one of their visits together she started calling him “Twinkle Toes” because she thought his slippers were cute.

TT and Thing 3 IN

He is pretty cute. Almost as cute as me.

GG Thing 3 Week 10 IN

This is GG. She is married to TT. GG stands for “great grandma”. Mama is lucky she still has all her grandparents and I get to meet them!

Junebug Kiss Thing 3 Week 10 IN

I met my great grandma Junebug. She has a lot of names too (Judy, Anna, Sugar Plum) but Junebug is our favorite.

Aunt Christine THing 3 Week 10 IN

I met my Aunt Christine. She is so sweet.

Twins Birthday Week 10 IN

We celebrated my twin cousins birthday. I didn’t get any cake. No fair!

Papaw Thing 3 week 10 IN

My Papaw Webb wasn’t feeling well on Father’s Day so I went to his house to meet him. He loves babies and was so happy to meet me.

Junebug Thing 3 Week 10 IN

Here is another of me and Junebug.

Junebug Papaw Week 10 IN

When it’s time to go it’s time to go.

Thing 1 Thing 3 Week 10 IN

A photo of me with my big big brother. I didn’t pee on him this time!

Mama also took pictures of me wearing the outfit my brothers wore when they came home for the hospital.  I didn’t get to wear it to “come home” in since I was born at home!

My mommy is behind on my posts. I guess between taking care of me and my big brothers she doesn’t have a lot of free time.

We’ve been traveling a lot lately.

Mommy Thing 3 Week 8

I’ve started to like my baby carrier. Mommy has been looking for a new one because this one isn’t super comfortable. Boy, you should see how much time she spends “researching”. No wonder she’s behind on my posts. I can’t even imagine what goes into research when she buys a car.

Chilling Thing 3 Week 8

Sometimes I take naps next to my mommy when she writes. It’s easier to fall asleep when I can look at her.

Family Selfie Stone Mountain GA

We took family selfie at Stone Mountain Georgia.

Dear Thing 3,

Once in a while and every so often you may hear a mysterious whisper. A whisper that speaks more to your heart than to your mind. A whisper so soft yet so loud. The other night in the wee morning hours as I held your little body close to mine, I heard such a whisper and this is what it said.

“He is the answer to prayers you didn’t know you had.”

Then I squeezed you gently, gave you a little kiss on the head, and said a prayer of thanks for your life to the One who whispers.
