My Son
I don't even know how to start this post. Just cut to the chase? I have a son! We are expecting an "active" and "feisty" little boy this spring, and I can't wait to see if those descriptors from the doctors are accurate.

Officially Two and a Half!
What a difference a month makes! I feel like I say this all the time, but every month brings new challenges as well as new amazing skills--we take the bitter with the sweet, right?

For a long time, Larkyn has been able to charm adults and is oh-so-friendly to them. She becomes BFFs with every cashier she meets and she says "hi!" when we go through the drive through. Those moments are the ones when a parent's heart grows a little bigger and it is easy to forget the moment…
