Atticus Antics of January (18 Months Old)

Yes, Atticus is growing up! We know we can't keep him small forever, but it really does go by very fast. Here is the latest update on our Little Man.

Atticus started nursery this month at church and is having a hard time making the transition; we know it will come with time. 

At home he is getting into everything. He is a climber. He loves to help. He loves food; especially porridge, green beans and hummus (but not together). He refuses to eat with small utensils and requests one of our utensils if we have forgotten. He loves to make us laugh and practice silly faces.

He shares everything.

At the end of a busy day he will bring a book to us and request us to sit on the floor wherever we are and read together. His favorite book right now is a book about Jesus. He loves cuddles.

We have been going to swimming lessons; he could spend all morning on the slide. He enjoys seeing all his friends at music class each week.

He is beginning to understand the idea of prayer and when we sit down for a meal he is the first one to have his arms folded to say a blessing on the food.

He is a constant joy in our life.

So blessed to have him.

relaxing...

his handsome smile

his comb that he added to our wash load...

trying to vacuum. Maybe next time he will remember to grab the rest of the vacuum.

he decided that the canned food would be better if kept in his Duplo box

when we left him he was sitting in his chair; when we came back a minute later, he was on the table...

Mommy told him to get ready for a bath so he ran and put shampoo in his hair and excitedly showed Mommy how well he had done.

Instead of getting his own water bottle, he got Evia's and helped her sip some water.

trying to feed Evia a grape...he missed.
