Sweet Little Man

One our favorite traits about John is how he has the sweetest little spirit about him. We were at lunch, and he leaned over and gave Daddy several hugs on the arm so Emmalie snapped some pictures.

In addition to being sweet, he is apparently ready to have a smartphone of his own!

Here's another cute picture of John with Pops (Emmalie's Dad)!

Slides & Swings

John really enjoys being outside, and we recently went to a park after dinner one evening. John really had a good time on the slide and in the swing.

Videos from the Zoo & Play Time

Here are some recent videos of John. The first couple of videos are of him playing in his play room and watching Praise Baby videos. The last two are of John at the zoo. He really likes the aquariums and especially likes waving and talking to the fish.

"The Blank Stare"

John has the inherited the tendency to get "locked in" on the television from his Daddy. It's especially pronounced when he is watching his Praise Baby DVDs. Here's some pictures of him watching, playing and the blank stare.

John's First Easter

John had a great first Easter! On Saturday, he got to see the Easter bunny first hand. Initially, he was kind of interested. Then, interest transitioned into some slight fear.


On Sunday morning, the Easter Bunny came to visit John and brought him a HUGE puppy dog pillow and a few other surprises.

Then, we went to Emmalie's uncle's house for some delicious Easter lunch and more pictures!

Easter Egg Hunt & Bluebonnets

Our Sunday School class had an Easter Egg Hunt for all the children a couple of weeks ago. John enjoyed watching the other other kids, and he even got to pick up some eggs of his own.


There were also some Bluebonnets at the park so we took the opportunity for some additional pictures. John was really more interested in eating the Bluebonnets.

Beach Ball & GiCi's House

John spent some time at GiCi's house yesterday, and Daddy and Ellie came over to play too. John sat outside and played with Ellie and then sat in his own little outdoor chair. His favorite thing to do was play with the beach ball that GiCi got for him, and there's a video below of him enjoying it.

Now the real fun begins!

Walking with His Toys

John continues to get better and better walking while holding on to something. Here is a picture and several videos of him walking in our den.Getting confident with one hand and turning around

Nap Time & Mohawk Man

John is generally a good sleeper at night and with naps. However, occasionally he doesn't quite get the message that it's nap time. When that's the case, you generally look on the video monitor and see something like this . . . Him standing up playing with the camera.

Here's John after a bath one evening. We decided to try a mohawk as a new hairstyle.
