Piersen's Latest Tricks!

Well, my sweet baby is growing up! He is 1 year and three months and quite a blessing to us!

 

So if you look closely you can see his two pearly whites! Chase finally caught sight of them a few days ago (about 2 weeks later than the rest of us!) and it was so fun to watch his excitement over his discovery!

Pierce continues to reveal his personality! It is a sweet one....unless we are dealing with hunger (you cannot feed the boy fast enough) or sharing! Ha! Yes, it is true - if he wants something he puts up quite the fight to keep it. He can be a noisy fella trying to ward off his brothers! Today Chase tried to convince him to "trade" footballs because he wanted the brown one....well, Pierce was NOT in agreement and Chase just looked bewildered that his scheme didn't work! Fun times ahead!!!

 

Stairs have become a breeze for this little boy and he gets quite a kick out of heading up them as fast as he can when he knows he isn't supposed to. Pierce is standing really well and taking 4 or 5 steps at a time. I wouldn't say he is walking yet but gettin' close. He gets really excited and after 4 or 5 steps he just free-falls and expects you to catch him. I foolishly tried to get him on video - forgetting this small yet important fact. In the video he is smiling and excitedly coming towards me when - bam - he falls face down because my hands were busy with the camera! Oops.

 

And one of my favorite accomplishments is his way of saying "I love you". You may remember this family trick from when Chaser was about this age. We taught him to..."raise your hand if you love your Mommy!" Piersen has followed in fine fashion - and gets bombarded with the question frequently throughout his day (from all of us - especially his brothers). He is quick to raise his hand...with a big smile...and if he is in a really loving mood - he gives ya 2 hands up!

 

 

 


And...he enjoys this upside down perspective of life as well!

 


Who says the littlest guy in the family doesn't have any influence! "Look at them trying to be like me!"

I am so glad for you about your house find! God is so good!! And your boys are adorable. Dougle taught Canaan the same "raise your hand if...." I wonder if he got it from you? Love you all. Hope you are faring well without your teammates for a while. It must seem different and tough in some ways. Anyway, peace,
