You love to dance to the music. This month you have learned how to twirl! You have watched Whitney do it a thousand times. I will always remember the first time I saw you spinning around--a princess song came on Rhapsody and you spun around! What a cutie! I love watching you enjoying music of all kinds. You love to dance, hum and play with musical instruments.
This month you have been rolling on the floor and wrestling with us. You like to run across the room and crash into Mommy or Daddy. You thoroughly love to tackle us, chase us and play football, etc. In this type of activity, you radiate the fullest joy with your big open-mouthed smile and hearty chuckle! I hope I never forget the sight and sound of you playing rough! It is the best! Mommy and Daddy are so crazy about you--100% boy is what you are!
I enjoy watching little you hustling around everywhere you go. Your cheeks jiggle and your belly sticks out. This month, you learned how to play chase with your sister. I don't think you guys can get any more adorable!
You are such an explorer and are always doing things you shouldn't do. But you do it with the most adorable grin. Mommy and Daddy are wrapped around your finger, for sure. Some of the things you like to get into are Mommy's makeup and Chapstick. You love to take the caps off of everything, apply it and make a mess. You are so quick. You get into things in the blink of an eye!
You are obsessed with cars and balls. I bought you some "new" car books at the thrift store. You like to turn the pages and say, "Room room!" Plus, you think anything round is a ball. Even grapes or other unappetizing roundish food gets thrown across the room on occasion--"Ball!", you exclaim!
You love to go outside. At the mention, you get so excited. You even run and find your shoes and socks!

I have observed maturity in your interactions with Whitney this month. You know how to make her happy (like giving her Baby back, or sharing your food with her) and you also know how to get her back and set her off on purpose (by pushing, swatting at her or taking something she likes and hot-footing it away from her!). It is really amusing to me, I'll admit. Due to all the fighting between you two lately, I feel like I have gained a new title in motherhood--referee! Although sometimes I just let you two sort things out on your own!

You are jabbering all the time. You can say "shoes", "car", "dog", "hi" (and you finally know how to wave--but you don't know how to say "bye" yet!).
You learned how to lean in and kiss Mommy. It is the sweetest thing I have ever taught you. I am so thankful for every single smooch! Whatta guy!
I love you so much, Sweet Boy! You are the best!

| I love when I can pull sleeping little you out of the car seat and then bring you into your crib to continue napping. After a picture and a few minutes of enjoying the moment! |
