it's almost here

You don't quite realize how spoiled you are yet, which is still a good thing. You have been receiving presents in the mail now for a few weeks and they have been slowly opened by your very anxious sister. If the present is cool enough, she claims it for herself, but if the present contains clothes or something she's not interested in, she decides you can have it. I think as of right now, all your toys have been claimed by Eve, but the clothes are yours.

The time keeps sneaking up on me. You'll start doing something new and I will ask myself when did you start doing this. For example you will sit up on my lap without leaning back on me at all and just look around. When did that happen? I never taught you to do that. I guess you just learned that on your own. Another thing you do is grab my face when I pick you up and just squeeze and hug me. You are so excited to be picked up that you squeal and pinch with a huge grin on your face and try to give big slobbery kisses. You are still a very happy boy! Even with all the diaper rash that mom can't seem to get rid of you are a happy kid. You are probably happy because I let you lay around naked all the time and you pee all over everything. I think most of the time you do it on purpose. You only wait until I have turned my back before you start peeing and soaking everything in your range.

You really like the ring sling and will just lay against me with your nuk for extended amounts of time, especially in the evening when you are tired. Speaking of which, you have started this new thing where you want to go to bed around 6-6:30 at night. It's crazy, but if that is what you want to do, I will sure allow it. You have been waking up more at night and if that keeps on we may have to start you on some solid food, which I am in no hurry to do.

Daddy bought me a new camera for Christmas and you have become the guinea pig! I take so many pictures of you and they all turn out so adorable. Dad said I'm biased and I keep telling him no, you're just really handsome and take wonderful pictures.

You can now move the walker all through the house, even without Eve pushing you. Still no rolling over, but I'm in no hurry.

Grama is coming out to visit you in a week and I'm sure there will be more to talk about after her visit, but I just wanted to write and let you know how adorable you are.
