more of my little lover boy

I couldn't resist posting this of my little affectionate guy.

little lover boy

Our little Link is such a sweet boy!  He's 21 months now and though not talking much, he sure understands a lot.  He's good at following instructions and cleaning up his toys.  He knows his place in the family.  He will kneel, press his little hands together, and squint his eyes during prayers.  He is quite independent but also fiercely attached to Dad, Isaac, and me.  He adores animals and will squeal in delight whenever he spots one--be it the real-life doggy Finnegan across the street or a tiny image of one in a book.  He is lastly a little lover boy--and exceedingly attached to stuffed animals.  Hm.  That reminds me just a tad of someone I know.

(Noteworthy here is that these are some of the very few photos of me from my childhood.  And in almost every one I am grasping a beloved stuff animal. :)

Happy anniversary, Jeddy!  Seven unbelievably groovy years--and two dynamite little rugrats--into this marriage thing.  Wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else but here.  With you.

We had a joyful holiday! The boys got to sit on Santa's lap at our ward Christmas party.  Lincoln wasn't too keen on the old man! On Christmas morning, even though he had no idea what was going on, Lincoln ran straight to his toy from Santa--squealing with delight--and played with it for an hour. (Secretly, I think Daddy was just as enthralled with Isaac's gift--Optimus Prime the Transformer--as his son.  That's what he got from Santa when he was a boy!)
