I'm A Big Kid Now

The first time Von drank out of a regular cup he was 4 1/2 months old. Because Von is very independent and wants to be just like the grown ups are he dropped the bottle early, refused a sippy cup for a long time and move on to using a regular cup all by himself too. Mommy and Daddy were not allowed to help.

Save Me, Grandpa

Grandma decided to dye her hair one of the weekends Von was staying there. When she came out of the bathroom with a bag on her head he did not recognize her and was scared. Grandpa had to save him. "She scares me too, Von," Grandpa said.

Favorite Toy

Von's favorite toy was given to him by Papa Barker (even though Nana Barker though it was too expensive).

My Sleeping Angel

I love to watch my baby sleep. He is so perfect. As I stare at him I am so amazed at the perfection of God. How he could make someone so flawless and give him to me. Thank you, God for my son.
