Hanging out with berik.

So cute. You and berik were playing the whole time! Berik and miss haleigh are gonna have a baby! You were throwing crackers into eriks mouth and screaming "goooooal!" So cute. I love your happiness babe.

Silly faces

On one of your mahmee days :) I love hanging out with you!

Boy being a boy

Playing with cars at "your aprils"! You have such imagination already. Love you :)

Sometimes

You look vaguely like mahmee but mostly I see daddy.

But you are you. And beautiful baby.

sing mahmee

those words are precious.

as i lay you down in your big boy bed, to try it once more, you cried. so i sat there in the dark by your bed and sang. when i thought you were asleep minutes later i stopped, only to hear you stir and say "sing, mahmee." so so quietly.

your love completes me and overwhelms me.

im so so in love with being your mahmee.

i love you Julian.

daddy took you to the coast!

oh how you love the beach. you talked for days before the trip about going to see the baby whales. so daddy packed up your rescue pack you got for christmas and brought along secretly two baby whale toys from your bathtub.

then he let you "rescue" them like diego!

one took off into the ocean, but how fun it will be when it washes up for another little kid to find and rescue!

daddy is such a good daddy!

you also went to the aquarium with aunt ayla, uncle dan and grandma kitty with daddy.

how much fun you had!
