He Thinks He's So Big

Big Boy eating by himself

He does a GRRRReat job!

My little BIG man

Today my little man, Whitman, is 17 months old!

WOW, time has really flown!

He is getting to be so independent. A couple of weeks ago he wouldn't let me feed him. He wanted to do it and with a spoon/fork. He blows me away with how well he uses them. He normally has a great appetite but recently, with some more teeth coming in, he is just miserable.

But he thinks he is Mr. Big Stuff sitting at the table with his Sissies eating like them!

He almost does a better job, using utensils, then his sisters. LOL!

He has really grown up a lot here lately. He is understanding things a lot better. He listens and does a good job when you tell him to do something. He is getting better at showing me what he wants rather than me guessing half the time.

He plays on the playground/fort all by himself and can actually come down the slide even when I"m not standing right there. He GRUNTS at EVERYTHING!!!! He sounds like a miniature Tim the Tool Man! HA!

Boys are so different and so much fun! I love how unique they are! Whitman has his very own FLEET of tractors and we're working on the trucks. Not just any trucks either. They have to be RIGS that can haul his tractors...too funny! Like father like son. He not only looks like his Daddy but acts like him too! I pray that they will always remain close.

So here he is. My little BIG man! I can't believe how BIG he is getting!

Dear Father,

Thank you for your beautiful gift of children. May I always remember that they are a gift from you only! I have been blessed to have three beautiful girls and this precious little boy. I ask for your guidance as we try to raise him to be the Godly, loving, obedient man who loves and fears You. Thank you for entrusting Cory and I to raise Whitman. I am very honored. Protect his childhood and guide his steps that they may be close to You.

I love you Lord. Thank you.

Amen.

Let go and Let GOD,
