You are SO much fun these days monkey! You smile all the time, you laugh when you think something is funny, you clap and dance along to music or shows on tv. You can point out all of your different body parts, and can even repeat a lot of their names when mommy or daddy tells you what they are. You know SO many words now: purple (pretty sure this is your favorite color right now), mama, dada, nana, papa, truck, moo, dog, puppy, choochoo, train, banana (you say "nana" for banana)....and the list just keeps on growing. I tell you I love you like a thousand times a day and I just can't wait until you can say it back.
You have such a jest for life. You LOVE, LOVE, LOVE trucks, cars, planes, trains and anything else that moves and makes noise. This summer there was a lot of construction happening in our neighborhood, so you were truly in your glory watching all of the big machines. You get SO excited when "Mighty Machines" comes on the tv. We know now that we just need to stop anything we are doing so that we can stop and be excited with you. You always point at the screen, make a "ooohhh" sound, and then turn back to make sure that we are SO seeing what you are seeing. Too cute! lol.
Mommy recently went back to work, which has been an adjustment for all of us. You are not used to staying with anyone that is not mommy or daddy, but you seem to be having lots of fun with Pauline and Addy of the days that mommy is at the bank. This week Daddy left to go away for week for 6 weeks, and I think that you have picked up on it. When I went to drop you off at Pauline's today, you cried and clung to my leg (not something you usually do). So I came in with you and hung out until you felt more comfortable. It hurt to leave you today, but I knew that you were safe and happy, so we made it through. Needless to say though, mommy's favorite days are the ones that she spends completely with YOU :)
I would write about what your favorite foods are...but there are just too many to list! lol. Here are some of your favorites right now: pizza (typical kid!), bananas, grapes, cucumbers, cheese strings, goldfish crackers, mommy or daddy's cereal (whatever that may be...guess it tastes better from our bowls), freezies, watermelon, and cookies (of course). We are SO lucky that you are such a good eater. Thanks buddy!
Love Mommy
