The tongue!


None of my boys have been cuddlers, but it is really cute on the
rare occasion. 

Christmas with the cousins (on my side)

All cozy and warm on a rare cold day

Brooks was giving him a hug

It's pretty much impossible for me to get them
to look at the camera
He loves to cover his face when he is falling asleep
He has just started putting his arms like this and I think it is so cute!























He is adored by Brooks and Connor. We have to stop what we are doing several times a day for them to give him a kiss and hug. I've been trying to soak in all of this baby stage because I know that it before long he will be running crazy like his brothers!
