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.

What I love - Month 20

1. I love that I found him standing in the big flower pot in our backyard. It reminds me that I can always be surprised by him.
2. I love that he says "bye bye" when we put him to bed at night.
3. I love that when we come home from work he likes to take a bowl of birdseed out into the yard and spread it all over the ground. He loves looking for birds on the way to school in the morning.
4. I love that he likes to drink out of the garden hose.
5. I love that he started humming along with the tune of "Elmo's World" on Sesame Street...."la la la la, la la la la, Elmo's World".
6. I love that Brown Bear, Brown Bear is one of his most favorite books and he knows exactly when to turn the page. I love that he makes animals sounds with each page he turns.
7. I love that when he is playing barefoot outside that he stops periodically to sit down and wipe off the bottom of his feet. It reminds me that he has a little bit of his momma in him.
8. I love that one the way home from school one night he pulled off his shoes and socks and smelled his stinky feet. It made me really laugh.
9. I love that when he is getting scolded he looks me in the eyes and says "hi" and then gives me a hug.
10. I love that he loves to eat corn on the cob.

More faves from May

Double Dip?

If you are ever invited to dinner at our house,
