His new hair makes him look like such a big little boy and I just can’t believe how fast he is growing! Today, we have some really exciting plans of going to Home Depot or Lowes to buy a shed. We’re on a roll with all the January projects right now, which feels great! They aren’t all glamorous though, ha.
