Photo Story Friday-John


Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

This is John. My last born baby and beloved stinker. In the womb, he was definitely the trouble maker. He liked to move around his living space and was NEVER in the same place from one ultrasound to the next. I'm pretty sure Jacob hung out where John kicked him and was thankful for the times when John slept. He's also my baby that had cord compression issues and his umbilical cord around his neck twice when he was born.

As a newborn he was feisty. His lungs were more mature than his brothers, and he seemed all around healthier. I was sure that I had pegged his personality inutero as busy. And then he turned into this really great laid back baby. And I was sure I had mislabeled him. Although he got into lots of trouble, he wasn't appreciably busier or feistier than his mirror image. But then he turned 2 and figured out how to push every button that I have. I LOVE this kid to pieces, but some days he drives me to the brink of distraction. Then right before I lose it, he shoots me this killer smile and I can't help but be grateful for my little firecracker. My lovable, squeezable, always in motion, fiercely independent, never quiet, baby.

I just love learning more about those boys. Even though I haven't met them yet, I just adore them. That fire cracker personality will serve him well... And the fact that he is absolutely beautiful!

As the youngest child, I think the firecracker personality is key...he needs to keep up with the rest of his siblings. My Riley is the same way!

Rachel Berry said...

I love his red hair! What a cutie.

Debra said...

Love your new layout!!

He sounds JUST like my Nicholas. Firecracker is a great noun to use as a nickname! Nicholas does naughty things, then flashes his smile and I cannot help but melt!

Carrie and Troy Keiser said...

Tonya Staab said...

Fun story!! My #3 was such a good baby (until he turned 2). Lucky for him I love his blue eyes. Why are boys so adventurous?

I'm telling ya it's lucky our kids are cute, otherwise they'd get it.

KatBouska said...

What a cutie!! Isn't it funny how our kids can cause such angst and then melt our hearts away the next instant!?! I guess that's why we love them so much.

Great story! When I first looked at the photo all I could think was Ron Weasley.

While it's a pain in the butt, I love children like this as well. Life is never boring :)

I love that kid. His smile reveals so much. I have a wild one too. She was crazy during all my ultrasounds etc.. and she made a name for herself in the NICU too. Now... her smile always reveals that mischievous twinkle. There must be something about baby "b".

Tiffany said...

What a cutie! I love what you wrote.. detailed. It's so great hat you really KNOW your kids and all the things that make them special.

Jessica said...

I do think they know when to shoot an adorable smile at Mommy. He is adorable!

Mark and Kiss said...

Angie, you have a gift to pen so eloquently what I often think, but can't express about my family and feelings. John is adorable and reminds me of Stephan. We need to get our boys (and girls) together now that the baby is born and I am mobile.

latree said...

cute boy. beloved stinker, i love the words!
does jacob move as much as john does or not? both my twins move more or less the same, because they always do things together.

Karen said...

I agree, must be a baby B thing. My baby B was the character in the NICU as well. Everyone always pegs him as the "dominant" twin but I have yet to believe there is a dominant twin yet.
Beautiful picture and I love your knew layout as well. Sure wish I knew how to do this stuff on my blog. I am still learning but am loving the bloggin world.

What a cutie! My firecracker came at the end as well....I guess we all have to have one in our family, eh? What a scary story about his cord....I am so glad he is here happy and healthy!

Genny said...

Just stopping by to say hi. I like the design!

Jamie said...

Are You Serious! said...
