• Squirmy: Seven Months

    He gives hugs!  I like getting hugs!  It’s a great arrangement. He’s a happy guy almost all the time, except when eating green vegetables and when he’s stuck in a room with only a boring Mama. A runny nose is not our friend, and he’s had one for a long…

  • Brothers Playing Together
