Favorite things about you:
I love the way you fold your arms for prayer by putting your hands on your chest ( no crossing arms involved).
I love the way you think we're supposed to act during family prayer by smashing your face into the ottoman. After prayers we always kiss and you always start that process way before we finish the prayer. You're really good at making the pucker face. Almost like a fish.
I love the way you throw things off the side of the table when you're finished eating.
I love the way you like to be with me, wherever I am, there you are.
I love the way you say thank you.
I love the way you squish your lips up against your nostrils so that it's hard for you to breathe.
I love how you have this internal rhythm. You're always nodding your head to something or shaking your booty.
I love that you like to do things yourself. Eating with a fork and plate. You've started sitting up to the table now on a booster chair. You also like to play the piano by yourself, sure to push dad's hands away if he wants to play along.

Favorite foods:
Macaroni and Cheese, strawberries, watermelon, cheese and crackers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, grapes, granola bars, marshmallow mateys, frosted shredded mini-wheats, apple jacks, MILK, pizza, spaghetti, beans, burritos, and mostly you just like to eat A LOT.

You've started walking now. You HATE the swimming pool, but you LOVE bath time. Your expressions are unforgettable. I love you so much. You're the best boy a Momma could ask for.

This is too funny! He and Coop are on the same page. Moo Baa La La La is Cooper's fav too as well as most off those food items! The only difference? Jeff is a genius with using words! Coop still only says mama dadda uh-oh and ball.

We love our pools. Especially with friends. Here we are trying to convince Nate he can do a front flip. He still doesn't believe me.  #thiswasthebestone   #jeffjustwentupanddidit   #overandover   #unafraid   #doesntcarewhatpeoplethink   #wishididnt  # summerlovin Independence day kickball.

"I've never been so alone, alone, and I've, and I've never been so alive. So alive." - Motorcycle Drive-by - Third Eye Blind //How we feel. All the time. Glad we could share a little piece of our hearts today with the senior center. They all knew "You Are My Sunshine" which made my heart Happy.  #music   #thismanandhisguitar #wooshearts   #lovehim   #evieproject #evielaree  one of the residents told us to look up a video on YouTube about Amazing Grace. He thought we would like it.  #forreal   #howcouldheknow #n8lovesthirdeyeblind   #ilovehimforit   Also my friend intends to "adopt a grandma here". What a great idea. I can't wait to find out how it goes.  #opa Jeff thinks it's fun to get up with the sun. Apparently it's starting to wear on him because this is what I woke up to this morning.  #goodmorning   #goodmorning   #asleepagainalready   #itsgreattostayoutlate We signed up to help at the Houston food Ban...

To better suit my purposes, I have decided to make this more of a journal. That's what it is anyway, but I see no reason to allow random people to see it. I am going *private* Please leave your email if you are even a casual observer at the happenings in the Pettit household. You are welcome any time. The change will happen one month from today.
