Ammon is 4!!!! A glimpse...

That mean's the terrible troublesome and three's are over with right? No really, just in the past couple of months I have noticed a huge change in this little guys and his ability to cope with life and make nice choices. Four is going to be a great age. How in the world can he be 4 years old?! He still feels like my baby in so many ways. A very short glimpse into the life of Ammon Neal Passey (whose middle name is after Grandpa (Alma Neal) Timothy's, and thus Grandpa like to call him "Ammon Neal"). He's always been a bit fickle. He was due exactly when we were to be moving from Florida to Idaho, so I had flown out a month early to have him in Rexburg. That way we would be close to our final destination, and it seemed the way to go. We had it all planned out, when Travis' squadron didn't want to cooperate and he ended up graduating from F15 training late, and even then getting held up by hurricane after hurricane. So all this while, Ammon was inside me, teasing me--acting like it was time, then stopping. Trav finally finished and headed our way and I was so relieved to know he was on his way. I was going to make it after all! And Trav was a champ and drove impossibly long days to get to Rexburg, but despite all of our effort, Ammon was born about 6 hours before Trav drove to the hospital. Stinker. 2 weeks early, 8 lbs 4 oz.

I remember him going through a fussy baby stage for awhile, and he really liked to be held. But along with that came the perk of being our cuddliest child by far. He's always been the one that will lay on you and cuddle for a long time, and I loved that about him. He is a handsome little devil, and a very good boy. Some funny things about him: He's a little quirky with silly things. He loves bag and containers. For as long as I can remember, he has to always have a special toy of the day in his hand at all times (or a seed or acorn, even better), and more often finds some sort of container to fill with special things and carry around. He is pretty flexible with these--ziplock bags, small storage bins, backpaks, cups, etc. He likes to joke around and be silly with his brothers.

I am having serious computer issues, again, and am not able to post pictures! It keeps shutting down when I try. So maybe I'll come back and add them later? Blast.
