little man gus is the big 18 months old today so i thought it only appropriate that the last five on five of the year would be a "few" shots of him.....

it dawned on me that when max turned 18 months old i took some pictures on the very same chair...

my how time flies...

we all just love our little "gussers", as max calls him.... (yet, he is the one who doesn't always tolerate him...)

he rarely sits still....

and continues to prefer walking on his knees the majority of the time... (unless it is carpeted)

but, he is getting braver as the days go on...

although, he sure can move fast with his unconventional way of getting around....

he can destroy a room in about 2 seconds flat....

definitely our little wild child...

with a silly side...

he certainly knows how to rough and tumble with his big brothers...

but, he is sweet....

he adores his brothers...

and is a total mama's boy....

love you lots gus, gus....

i wouldn't mind if you would slow down with this growing thing...

for you are my baby....

and always will be...

(note the injury near his eye.... he had a little encounter with the fireplace and the fireplace won....)

now continue on and go check out andrea's five on five..!
