Creed is Gowing Like a ... Zucchini!

SO sweet!

Creed was so happy and wiggly that he wouldn't hold still for the picture.

Sparkly eyes-- The flash surprised him, so they look a little bit like crazy eyes too.

I honestly cant believe how fast this little boy is growing up. He is already 16 weeks old!!! I had to dress him in a 6-9 month outfit this morning (sniffle) because the others were getting too small. I thought I still had a newborn until I saw one at church the other day, and realized that my baby didn't look like that anymore (double sniffle). I am grateful that I have a healthy little (or should I say BIG) boy. He is so sweet and happy and patient. He is very mellow, and social. I have spent nearly every waking -- and many half-sleeping--seconds with this little guy. He is my little side-kick. It has been so fun to watch him grow and develop into such a cute little man. I left him with Ryan the other night to go visiting teaching, and upon my return, met an excited group of kids telling me that Creed had rolled over while I was gone. Seriously??? I can't believe I missed it. I decided it doesn't count until I witness it with my own eyes. I guess I should be thrilled that he learned to roll over (allegedly), because every time I lay him down, it is only a matter of seconds before he is picked up by a loving brother or sister. I didn't think Creed would have a chance to roll over until he was at least 6 years old... maybe longer... so he is already exceeding my expectations (little over-achiever). I am just so happy to be his mommy, and to have such sweet little ones in my care.

How did I not see this zucchini in my garden until it got this huge?  It was hiding under a leaf bullying my pepper plant!
