What's different?

He still has the same adorable dimple. He still has those plump little lips.  He still has that sparkle in his eye. He hasn't lost a single ounce of those chubby cheeks.  He still has his fabulous hair (which I refuse to cut. When the time comes, I may have to petition Salt Lake for an exception to the missionary haircut rule).  Nope, the only thing missing from his cute little face is the drool.  For the past 29 months the constant string of slobber was like his 5th appendage.  I don't think I have a single picture without his shirt completely drenched in drool.  Until now.  It seems as if over night he became aware that the saliva beard is no longer en vogue and is always wiping off his "swobber".  He even gets mad if he accidentally "swobbers" on his toys while he's playing.  I have to admit it's kind of refreshing to not have to wipe off my mouth after every kiss and I don't even recognize his neck without that familiar glistening sheen of drool. My baby's growing up.  Time for another one.

Yay for no drool! It's a good thing you live in Arizona, that drool would freeze to his face out here!

That boy is too adorable! I just want a piece of him. It's no fair that I have to live so far away from those lips and cheeks. The whole drool thing cracks me up. That's just how Parker was for the longest time and then one day the drool pipe just shut off. It was a happy day.

He is growing up!! The last time we saw him (in person) he was tiny! Looking at your older posts, it looks like you guys are having so much fun!! You are always doing something fun, trying something new and are on the go! Word to the wise, and you now know, horse shows not so fun to be a spectator at, especially that one:) Pretty horses, snotty riders, lots of money, enough said... You will have to come to the KY Derby with us sometime- it is SOOOO much fun! Love your pictures!

Too cute! I love everything about this kid. And, I'll sign the petition with you for the haircut with Salt Lake...this style is just his personality! Hope all is well in the Young household! We miss you guys!
