John Henry: 15 mos

Tubby is 15 months old (tomorrow)! Where has the time gone? Although he'll forever be our baby, he has sprinted into toddler hood a loong time ago. He is a very typical boy, but also very good and happy. He "talks" ALL the time, saying a few recognizable words. At an appt last week, he weighed about 25lbs (with clothes & diaper) Katie was about 29lbs! With his size & determination he can do anything and go anywhere he desires. Not too much stops him, except Dad, Mom (and his older siblings) correction! He climbs like a mtn goat, and never seems to slow down, except for bed time! The twinkle in his eye is a sure bet that mischief lies ahead. Sometimes our days are full because of him, yet he adds to the love and laughter with the other 3 children. Benji and John seem to be best buddies already, Carolyn and Katie have long started mothering him (which doesn't always go over so well with him). Oh, yes, we have our share of "days", but we feel so lucky to have such a close-knit family. It won't be long before they're all "growed up", and these days will be just a mere memory. We all love you Tubby, especially that chubby belly we can't seem to keep hidden under your shirts :)
