Merrick


Merrick is a crazy little guy.
He definitely takes after his dad.
He gets in all kinds of mischief, and is a very accomplished climber.



He has the most incredible laugh.
He is a snuggle bug.
He likes having his blankets tucked around him and a song sung to him while you try and cram in his toddler bed with him.


He L-O-V-E-S pirates.

He loves swords.
He loves to EAT. The kid can pack it in!

He loves guns.

(I swear I didn't teach him this stuff.)

He loves to watch shows and is OBSESSED with Wall-E.
I used to like that movie...

He takes care of Berkleigh, and always acts the part of older brother. One day in the car, Berkleigh had had enough errand running. She was "fake" crying and calling my name. Merrick looked over at her and said, "Bertee stop crying, Mommy right der." She stopped, and I silently thanked him.

He can be very stubborn! He saw a witch hat at JoAnn's the other day, and my friend and I counted how many times he "fake" cried and said the word "witch hat". Drumroll... 78 times! It was utterly amazing... thats how I keep my self sane folk, you know, when naptime is upon us, and I need to get my errands done.

Merrick is a great brother, a great son, and a great friend.
