The itsy bitsy spider

Is Van's favorite song. You have never seen such excitment when you start those four words. Seeing mama Bex's newborn, Jackson, made me realize how Van is not so "itsy bitsy" anymore.  Recently, Evans and I sat down and looked through some early photos and we could not believe how small he was!

When you spend every day with him, its hard to visualize how much he is changing.  He finally fits into his LEL gown so we had a photo shoot this morning.

Brooks Elementary School is right across the street from our house.  Every morning a cute mom walks behind her two scooter-riding boys and can be seen toting the scooters back up to her house after she drops them off for school. It makes me excited to imagine walking a little Van to school with Nana Soph.  Some afternoons we sit outside and watch the kids on the playground and I find their laughs, giggles, and bossiness so entertaining.

Today is a DH Hill day and I have my first meeting with my thesis advisor next Tuesday!! Yikes.

Lastly...hooray for cousin Fray!!!!!!! She took her first solo steps yesterday, which is so hard to believe.  Lots of love Fray-Wump!
