Following in Daddy's footsteps

Literally....

These adorable little shoes were Justin's when he was a baby. His mom gave them to us when I was pregnant. I just love them and even used them in one of my maternity pictures. Here they are sittin' on top of my big 'ol belly!

I've had them sitting on the shelf of the nightstand in Barrett's room since we put the nursery together. Barrett has just recently discovered them as he crawls around his room, and occasionally pulls them down to chew on.I was waiting for them to fit, so I could get a picture of him in them. Well, I almost forgot and waited too long! I put them on him the other day to get a few shots and I could hardly squeeze his chubby little heels in. I would hold his ankle and try and smush his feet in and he would just laugh! Either it tickled his toes, or he realized his mommy was crazy with all her picture taking! If you look close, you might be able to tell his heels aren't quite all the way in the shoes :)

So, here he is following in Daddy's footsteps! This is just the beginning...if he continues to do so, he will grow into an amazing young man. Handsome. Talented. Loyal. Loving. Humorous. Hard-working. Easygoing. Amazing. Just to name a few of his daddy's characteristics!
