Happy Birthday to my sweet,
precious little boy!
Your dad and I love you, Z!

What I love - Month 23

1. I love how he giggles every time he reaches up and squeezes my nose and I "honk" loudly.
2. I love watching him run around the house in his pull up training pants. He is such a big boy!
3. I love reading to him before bed. I love when I finish and he signs "more" to read the book again. I love his bedtime snuggles and kisses.
4. I love when he sits on my lap and grabs my hands and wraps my arms around him in a big hug.
5. I love that he loves m&ms. He LOVES them.
6. I love when we split a popcicle and we touch the ends together and says "cheers"!
7. I love when we wash his hands we have to put soap on both hands.
8. I love that he loves to roll things down the slide on his new outdoor playset.
9. I love how he knows when we round the corner of our neighborhood each night that we are about home and he starts hollering "puppies! puppies!" because we are about to see Mol and Mei.
10. I love the knows "up" and "down" and knows about 1/2 of the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make.
11. I love that he loves to jump into my arms off the side of the swimming pool.
12. I love that he knows how to blow out the candles on his birthday cake.
13. I love that he turned 2 this month!

What I love - Month 22

1. I love when he holds his arms out and pretends he is an airplane.
2. I love that everytime he hears an airplane he immediately stops and points towards the sky.
3. I love when he grabs my hand to lead me somewhere he wants to go and says "On! On! On!". I love how he gestures with his little fingers to have you follow him.
4. I love that he LOVES LOVES LOVES Papa Ron's donkeys.
5. I love that he LOVED to shoot off fireworks for the first time and he stayed up until 10pm to watch them!
7. I love that I got a picture of him this month sitting on the running boards of Papa Ron's '34 Fords, just like I used to do.
8. I love that he loves to "run" the Wooden 'Spoke, just like his cousins used to do at the Dari Ring. I love that he loves to get pickles from the dressing table, pick songs on the jukebox and play with the pool balls.
9. I love that when he counts to ten, he skips number six. I love that he pronounces four and five as "bour" and "bive".
10. I love when I go to get him first thing in the morning and he shouts "Momma!", like he is so happy to see me.
11. I love how when we leave for school each morning, I roll down his window in the back seat and he waves and says "bye bye dada". It melts my heart.

What I love - Month 21

1. I love that he told me "no" for the first time this month. While I KNOW there will be MANY more to come, I love to see him gain independence.
2. I love when he lays in bed jabbering to himself at night.
3. I love that he had his first ORANGE popsicle this month.
4. I love that when I go to check on him in the morning I find him peeking his head up just so his eyes are above his crib bumper and he is just looking around.
5. I love that he likes to read books in his crib before going to bed at night.
6. I love when he puts his hands on both sides of my face and kisses me while making a loud "Moua!" sound.
