He's precious.
And really stinkin' cute.
And he's a BIG boy. 22 lbs 5 oz (75th percentile) and 29.5 inches (90th percentile). He's also as strong as an ox, and we call him DestructiCon.
His sister is still his favorite person in the world, and she always keeps him laughing. Here he is playing at his favorite indoor play place, her kitchen.
He's going to a be a guitar player one day... see?
He can stand on his own for several seconds, cruises around all of the furniture, and has taken 2 steps on his own to date. He pushes a shopping cart all around the living room. Walking probably isn't terribly far away!
He is 110% boy. Exhibit A: His innate boyness teaches him that grabbing his crotch is really, really funny.
He crawls with one hand in a "fistbump," as Shiloh calls it. Always.
See? There he is at it again.
Oh, and yes -- his hair is still auburn.
This boy loves being outdoors -- going for a walk, swinging, and swimming are some of his favorite things to do.
His laugh is one of the most wonderful sounds in the world. We also enjoy hearing him say "Dada", "Mama", and something resembling "Hi" while waving. He's VERY good at shaking his head no appropriately and swatting things out of his face that he doesn't want. He can sign "more" (used most often outside when his swing begins to slow down and he wants more pushing) and kind of signs "finished/all done."
His hair is always wild and crazy. I refuse to cut it. It matches his personality.
He has 4 teeth so far, 2 on bottom and 2 on top. He also has big, beautiful dark eyes -- right now a sort of hazel color.
He is such a joy! We couldn't be more thankful for this little dude.
