Will's turn

All of the John posts are getting to Will.

From Day 1, Will has loved "baby John." Some toddlers ignore their new sibling. Let's just say Will does the opposite. In other words, it's a wonder John still has both of his eyeballs. John makes noise, and Will makes more noise. If it was possible for my active toddler to become more active, it happened when John came on the scene. I wouldn't have it any other way, and I love their little relationship already.

Here's Brother Will's 2015 Summer.

I have no caption for this.

Watching the deer from his bedroom window


I fear I have created a monster. He is OCD about his toys. They must be
"parked." They must be in line. And if one is out of order, I will be called
into the room at night to fix it.








Goodbye, sweet summertime!

John's first summer

June, July, and August 2015. How can he occupy such a small place in this world but hold such a huge place in my heart!? The wonderful conundrum of motherhood!



John says 'was up'



Really, mom?

Really?

This may or may not have happened one morning when I was trying to
get out of the house.

Annnnd, my almost-three year old is the one with the pacy.

Oh, baby John, we love you!

John, little sprout!

Documenting the second child's babyhood, although very important to me, never seems to make it to the top of my to-do list these days. Will had a post for every month his first year. Needless to say, John's posts will be fewer. (But don't worry, buddy, the love in my heart isn't measured by blog posts! Blame your brother!)

Here's the little bundle himself his first two months:
(See birth pics here.)

First bath. He hated it!


Ever seen anything sweeter!?






He spent his first eight weeks in this contraption. Usually
on me, but he let Jan wear him, too.
He took the whole "4th trimester" thing very seriously!













More documenting to come! Sweet Johnny John!
