Birthday upon us...

Well John's 1 year birthday is fast approaching and gifts are already being sent! We have such a generous family to dote on John, and Grandma and Grandpa Stegman are no exception. After recieving a duplicate of a toy John already loves, we took it back yesterday and got him some other things he's also sure to love. Here's John playing with his new ball popper.


Here's a few more pictures of John and some kids in the nursery this week during VBS. He and Aubrielle were teaching each other about trucks and having a nice conversation this morning!

"Look Aubrielle, these are wheels and they're really cool!"

"Yeah but look John, this dump truck has a lot of dirt in it!"

She's so cute!

Obsessed with the TV! He stands right under it and bounces up and down!

Beautiful Boy

I just thought this picture was one of the best of John and wanted to share it. Today we went to the Y where Daddy and Mommy exercised and John stayed in the nursery. He hated it and was crying when we came back only 25 minutes later! Oh boy, what will we do? John just tried out his ride along lion today and seemed to like it, though there's no place to prop his feet up when I try to push him around. Maybe we'll look for one he can push and ride.

Best Friends

Yesterday I watched MacKeane (Ma-kee-an) for my good friend Lauren. She was grouting her kitchen floor (wow!) and I was either chasing 2 biostrous boys around the whole house or listening to them scream (in different rooms) because they didn't want to take naps. It was a busy day to say the least! MacKeane is the sweetest little boy and John adores him. It was so cute watching them crawl after each other all afternoon trying to figure out what the other was doing. What a glimpse into the life of someone with twins! Well they were too busy for me to get any pictures, other than when they were being still watching Veggie Tales. As for selling the house, insanely enough we may have already found a buyer!!! We couldn't believe our eyes when someone responded to the ad online, and it looks like it might just all work out! The woman came over last night to see the house and sent her significant other to see it this morning. Please pray that this woman is favorably disposed towards us and our asking price, and that we recieve an offer if it's in God's will. Here's a few cute pics of John from the last couple days, he's been so much fun lately, though his ear infections didn't go away so we're on round 2 of antibiotics right now. Dr. Massey mentioned tubes casually, but only if he gets another infection or this one doesn't go away by the end of July. Hopefully this is just a phase and he'll grow out of it.

My silly boy...found him alone in his room in a pile of about 30 wipes! He'd been sitting on the floor for several minutes just pulling them out of the package and throwing them all over the place. I cleaned up, then decided to get a video of him doing it again, but they wouldn't come out of the package very well because it was almost empty! Heeeeere's Johnny!



Yay! John just learned to push his walker! He pushed it from the kitchen all the way into our bedroom earlier, with me just helping to turn it in the right direction. Guess we're almost walking now.


We went to the pool yesterday with my friend Mini and her daughter Amirah. Here's a couple pictures of John and Amirah.

He was yelling and screaming because he was having a good time!

Other cute pics

Today John and I went to see Aubrielle and Meredith and went swimming again. It was fun and John was worn out! When Nicole (Meredith's friend) brought us home, John was fast asleep by the time we arrived so we brought him inside in the carseat. He slept in his carseat in his room for an hour! This is one of him just waking up. Huh? How did I get here!?

Too cute for his own good! He's such a ham for the camera.
