we make big babies

here is shepherd, 3 1/2 months old, wearing his new sam beam onesie made with love by our friend cara, who came over the other day with her baby mae. he is now wearing size 6 months, sometimes 9 or 12 months. he is one chubby kid, but so happy! josh said the other day, "shepherd is the reason women have babies." he's kind of a dream baby. he smiles, giggles, coos, flirts. all...day...long. he is sunshine.
