Getting so big

So I moved Stuart's bed today to vacuum underneath it and look what I found! It seems like it's been forever since he's used a pacifier.

This discovery on top of the fact that our sweet boy has started wearing "big boy underwear" at night this week, just punctuates the fact that Stuart is no longer a baby or really even a toddler for that matter. It's easy to think of him that way, since he is the youngest of our bunch, but the truth is that he's growing up. Now days, he can carry on a decent conversation, is learning his letters at school and is 100% toilet trained. Watching him run around with his brother and sister, he interacts with them like any other kid (and in his mind, he's probably about the same age they are).

I'm not sure exactly when he got so big, but I have to admit that I'm enjoying every bit of it. It's nice that he's so independent, curious and enjoys his friends and family the way he does. He's developed a great sense of humor too, and if you know anything about our family, you know it's a key to survival in our house, lol.

Just love that our sweet Stuart is getting so big.
