Aaaaaaand he's off!

Silas is really getting the hang of walking with the cute little walker my parent's got him for Christmas! He's able to pull himself up to it and walk across the carpet, occasionally falling to his knees. He is SO PROUD of himself and I love watching his sweet little face look around for adoring fans when he pulls himself up to a standing position. He looks around like, "are you gonna clap for me?" and gets a huge, cheesy grin when we cheer.

Jake has a new theory now on having more children. He thinks since we've hit perfection with the first one, we better just stick with one 'cause perfection couldn't possibly happen twice. :) I'm okay with that for now...wait 'til Silas starts to talk back and get in trouble - maybe Jake will change his attitude on how perfect Silas is. ;) For now I have to agree, though...he is definitely PERFECT!

Look at that wonderful face!! Doesn't it make you want to snatch him up and kiss all over him?? I'm so thankful I get the chance to love all over him daily!!

I think back to how badly I wanted a girl. I was desperate and absolutely convinced that I was having a girl and if I said I wasn't a little bit disappointed to find out I was expecting a boy, I would be lying. I can't even begin to imagine how much I would be missing out on if I'd had a girl! This boy stuff is even better than anyone ever told me. All close girlfriends with boys assured me that they are in fact wonderful, but I had my hesitations. Fast forward to now and I can't imagine my life being any different. I live with the two amazing boys - my hubby and my son and I am absolutely content and thrilled with having two boys in my life! My dear friend, Jenn, put it best when she said that having a son was like having a mini-me of your favorite boy (your husband). And anyone that has seen Jake and Silas know that Silas is Jake's mini-me. :) I do love and I am so, so grateful for these two amazing blessings!
