Movin' and a Shakin'

So here are a few little tidbits on the second love of my life. He...

-loves his thumb. Preston found him the other day watching his Saturday morning cartoons, sucking his thumb (he's a big fan of that finger).

Then before too long, he found him like this...but instead of watching cartoons... the infomercials were on. So intent! Ha ha!

-He loves to clap. In fact he claps all the time. He even knows the word "clap" and will basically do it on demand! Ü It's great.

-He has his own little "Carl dance." Basically, if you can imagine a baby belly dance, that is essentially what it would be.

-He loves to give you a five. If you ask him he will keep going and going until you take your hand away.

-He loves his daddy. His dad has figured out the trick to get him to sleep all 12 hours at night. LOVE HIM! They have their own little routine, that if followed, works like a charm.

-He still doesn't have any teeth. You can see those two little lower ones wanting to pop through, but that's been my excuse for whenever he is ornery. "I think he's teething."

-He eats like a pig. And basically will eat anything you put near his mouth. Yes, including lemons, bread, rice, applesauce (a favorite), etc. Basically, whatever we are eating, he is screaming for a taste. Oh... and he is still a skinny lurpy babe....because

-He is an active one. Sometimes I wonder if that Diet Coke I drink gets to him. Ha ha!

-He loves to cuddle. When he gets sleepy, he gets right up close and tucks his head basically in my armpit.

-He is crawling! We are so proud to finally announce this. Don't get me wrong, I have loved the time that he sits in one place and entertains himself for hours... BUT it is fun to see him able to get to places that he is DYING to get to...all by himself!

-He is a starer. Often I go to the store and people "ooh" and "ahh" at him because he just stares at them the entire time... and if they are lucky, they get the flirty head tilt.

That's our boy. How I love him. We are so lucky to have such a beautiful boy as a part of our family.
