My Baby

You forget so quickly how they look with their pacifiers...

Check out this belly!!! How he is able to stay upright and not topple over is beyond me!

I was just reminiscing this morning when going over some pictures in my computer and I came across these of Beau. Back when he was just one. It seems like forever ago that he was one, and in diapers, and using a paci. He is only 3 1/2, and truthfully, he is still such a "baby" in my eyes compared to his big brothers and sisters. I still love to pick him up every morning when he first gets up and snuggle him on my shoulder. I love it when he sits in my lap and just giggles. At church, I still secretly like it when he throws his hands up in the air...his gesture for "pick me up", even though we say that at 3, Mom and Dad don't need to hold you anymore. But, I still hold him! And yet, it's not like I don't want to be a big boy, or act his age. We certainly encourage him and guide him to be more mature, but you know how that is, when they are your youngest...I am holding onto his sweet little "baby" age because I see how quickly it goes!
