Our baby boy is ONE!!!

Actually, he is now 13 months old! He turned one on June 8th! It's hard to believe this amazing little guy has already been in our lives for a whole year. I don't even know how to explain my love for this child (both children that is).

*He is the sweetest little boy! Whenever I get him up in the morning or from a nap he gives me a big kiss and then rests his head on me for at least a good 5 minutes. It melts my heart everytime.

*He is very polite and always says thank you (dant do) even when he is giving you something.

*Ev is smart just like his big sister. He loves figuring things out and is so proud of himself when he accomplishes his little goals. His usual response is a huge smile, a little giggle and lots of hand clapping.

*He is constantly pushing buttons to see what they do, stacking things, completely emptying drawers and then putting every last thing back in.

*He mimics people left and right whether it be a cough or a laugh or a motion that someone just did.

*He likes to brush his gums (still no teeth) and his hair (not lacking there).

*He is walking more and more everyday! Except this week he wanted to crawl or be carried most of the time.

*He loves to play with any kind of ball. His eyes light up when he sees one and he can never get to it fast enough.

*He loves books and being read to. He points at the pictures and gives you his take of what's going on in the story.

*This boy can EAT! It's hard to believe he only weighs 20lbs the way he eats. The incredible thing is that he can eat almost anything without having any teeth. The most impressive thus far has been celery!

*He can also SLEEP! He still averages two good naps a day and sleeps 12 or more hours a night. Maybe that's why he is so long and skinny.

*He loves his big sister and watching them play together is the cutest thing ever! I probably look pretty goofy but I can't help but grin ear to ear when I see them playing and lovin' on each other.

We sure love having two kiddos around to hug and kiss and to teach and learn from! Life is good!
