Our little man is just getting so big, it is crazy!  He now has a big boy hair cut, and a big boy room (later post).  He is the big brother and I am very sad that he does not want to the baby anymore!  He almost always refuses to allow us to feed him baby food.  He wants to feed himself and his favorite food is PB&J.  He does not want to be rocked to sleep anymore and prefers to be put in bed and he will sing himself to sleep.   He is not quite walking but once he decides that that is what he wants to do, it will happen within a matter of days. He crawls and climbs everywhere he wants to go, and is incredibly mischievous   He likes to get into things he knows are off limits and watches you while he does it to get a reaction.  

He is very much a little teaser and has the sweetest little personality.  His laugh and smile are completely contagious and he is a big flirt when he is not feeling shy.  He has just entered into the stranger danger phase so he hates if daddy specifically is out of his sight.  He will go to family and friends but only on his terms, and he does not like to be made to do anything against his will.

He is still a very sweet and sensitive little boy.  He does not like to be told "no" or scolded, it just breaks his little heart.  He is very loving to Zane and is getting much better about being soft to Zeus.  He loves touch and affection and will regularly crawl over just to touch for a moment and then returns to his play.  

He is such a blessing to us and we are so glad to have him in our family.  He is already an amazing little boy and we cant wait to see the amazing young man he turns into (just not too quickly!)
