Last week I started getting the idea that Linus might be having a growth spurt. He was sucking down milk all of the time, sleeping in, and tripping a lot. One day he even took a nap. Yes, a nap! It was a beautiful fall day and we were tackling a couple of new projects. We found a small book case in the alley and I bought a headboard for Linus off of Craig's List for $10. Score! We were cleaning them up and sanding them. After he got tired of helping with that, he hauled every single one of his plastic and wood animals outside to play. Quite a while later he announced that it was time for us to take breaks. He made a couple of trips into the house to bring out a cozy and books for us. I did need a break and I was touched that he'd gone to my bedside table and grabbed the top three books on the stack. So we rested and read books. Next thing I know, I realize he hasn't said anything or moved. He was leaning against my leg. When I pulled away and sat up, I could see that he was asleep. He NEVER naps any more! He was that tired out!
I took a picture of him napping because he looked so sweet.
By the way, he is awesome at sanding and staining. He totally gets the whole thing about going with the grain.

He looks so precious sleeping on the lawn. I bet that will always be one of your favorite pictures of him.
I have a photo of Brandon asleep in his toddler bed with a bunny book across his chest. He had clearly fallen asleep reading the book when I was babysitting him, and I snapped a photo. I LOVE this picture. This photo of Linus reminds me of that. :)
