My "BIG" baby boy!

So we get these coolers once a month with Adrienne's shots in them.  Then I put duck tape on them to keep the lid on them and to add a little color. We have 13 now (I have had to throw a few away) but get a new one each month! He loves them!
He pushed his highchair into the family room and climbed in and was just sitting there watching TV




We swapped out his crib for a bed since he tried to climb out of his bed head first, and well I really shouldn't be picking him up. When we (I was involved and really tried hard not to lift things) first put the bed down he climbed on and put his feet out the end of the bed in that little slot and hung onto the top of the fire truck and said "go go" and then Trevor pulled it up to the wall, and then he kept doing it thinking it would still "go"!


We made a bunch of changes to his room since he can get up and roam whenever I figured I should remove the changing table, and go to a shorter dresser. He likes to climb a lot.  He was getting really mad at Braden and Paul for moving his dresser into Adrienne's room (Adrienne loves it though), and then all night he was just really clingy!  He did take his nap (very short) and he is sleeping in it now.  I just sit in there with him till he goes to sleep.  Mom not to worry he is using your blanket, but when I took the picture he found this blanket that his great-grandma Campbell made and thought it was cool and had to try it out, but we switched back because your is warmer, bigger, and it has other trucks on it so it goes with the fire truck!  Braden laid down on this bed, and well Edward was not very happy about that and wasted no time in letting Braden know he better get off his bed! So yes my baby boy is getting bigger, but my baby he always will be!

Others

By Charles D. Meigs (written sometime between 1890 and 1902)
Lord help me live from day to day
In such a self-forgetful way
That even when I kneel to pray
My prayer shall be for – Others.

Help me in all the work I do
To ever be sincere and true
And know that all I do for you
Must needs be done for – Others.

Let “Self” be crucified and slain
And buried deep; and all in vain
May efforts be to rise again
Unless to live for – Others.

And when my work on earth is done
And my new work in heaven’s begun
May I forget the crown I’ve won
While thinking still of – Others.

Others, Lord, yes others
Let this my motto be
Help me to live for others
That I may live like Thee.
