Almost Two...

Can you believe that Haddon is almost TWO YEARS OLD? So maybe it depends on your definition of "almost," but he's definitely closer to two than he is to one... Yesterday, he reached the year and 8 months mark! [a.k.a. 20 months]

Lynn Pugh always captures some good ones...
So what has this 20-month-old young man been up to, you might ask? Well quite a lot! He is busy and ALL BOY...


We have some sweet friends that live just right down the street from us that have a boy [Naaman] just a few days older that Haddon and a girl [Quinni] a few months older than Eden. The pictures above are at their house. They are gracious to let us come and enjoy their fun backyard and get some much needed fresh air during some restless afternoons! As you can see, Haddon has developed quite an affinity toward one of Naaman's fun hats. Haddon the Amish boy...

Speaking of fresh air, it's fun to go to parks and just let him roam.








I love this boy's curiosity and delight. So fun...

He still loves food, but only what he wants, when he wants. Meals can sometimes be a struggle and often take place apart from the high chair, but we're striving to choose our battles wisely ;) In the pictures above, he had just got done eating some tasty carrots and is asking for "more." I'm not sure how many of you have witnessed his "more" signal, but it is slowly fading and is being replaced by actually saying "more" ["Mo!']. This little boy is picking up words faster than I can keep count! It's so fun to be able to interpret what he's communicating.

He looks so grown in this picture...


"Helping" Dad with his work.

WICKED bed head.

He still loves books and balls, but the most recent obsession is the one and only...

WINNIE THE POOH!!! Seriously, this kid LOVES him. And all of Pooh's friends. He can name them all [a video of that will come soon!]. We have a few different Pooh shows on Netflix and Haddon just can't get enough. I bet he could sit and watch Pooh all day. Don't worry, we ration the screen time ;)

I'll close this out with one of the sweetest snapshots that I pray will be a normal thing in my little boy's life in the years to come...

May the word of Christ dwell in you richly, Joshua Haddon Pugh.
