Fearless!

How on earth can two children born of the same parents be SO different? Braxton has always been my timid child. He always takes a step back to assess the risk / reward of any new activity. If there is any inkling of a chance that he will get hurt, he stays away. Auston, on the other hand, is the complete polar opposite. At only 14 months, I think this kid already gets a thrill from danger. Two weeks ago we went to a friend's community pool to swim. We weren't there long before he fell into the pool and banged his face up from his fall. Last week I awoke to the sound of a big "thud" and then heard screams coming from his room. I ran in his room only to find him grinning from ear to ear because he had managed to catapult himself out of his crib. Yesterday, he decided to jump out of his high chair onto the tile floor. The kid is fearless! I can only pray that the Lord sends an extra large legion of angels to protect him!



This morning he decided to eat sand. You would think after one handful of the stuff, he would have decided that it was gross. Nope, not Auston, he went back for a second helping!!!

Jimmy's legacy lives on...

Braxton walked into the back yard today and launched a huge wad of spit out of his mouth that landed about a cenimeter from my foot. Before I could give him the "what on EARTH were you thinking" look, he says, "Mommy, that's what Daddy used to do." Yep, it sure is. Thank you Jimmy for leaving behind such a priceless gift!
