The other man in my life...

This face.
Those eyes.
Those dimples.
That smile.




This boy MELTS my heart!  He deserved a post all for himself....he is my quiet one. He is quieter around the house, though has started to really YELL above the noise when he wants something or wants attention.  He has started a phase of "look at me mom", "Mom, look at me" when attempting any new (or old) skill.
He is really outgoing however, around strangers.  He talks and shares a LOT of information while we are standing around wondering who the chatter mouth is because he is generally a bit quieter at home.
He is the sweetest, most lovingest boy. He wants his "special hugs" (which are BIG hugs), lots of kisses and still sleeps with his "big" baby, "little" baby, "yellow" baby, "blue" baby and "gramma" baby.
He can count to 10, sing the abc's, itsy bitsy spider and a few other big hits.  He likes to tell us info with a very straight face while shaking his hand at us (great non-verbal skills bud).
He loves on Ruby, is so affectionate with her. Harper.....is so/so. He loves her and gives her hugs and kisses when saying bye or night night, but most of the time they keep a safe distance.
Though when she is not around, he asks "where's Hawpo"?
He is a great listener at dance class and took skating lessons this past December.  He is standing up on the ice alone now.
He loves fire trucks, choo choo trains, cranes, airplanes and loves to "hang" things from odd angels always testing balance and dexterity.  He sees the world differently. Instead of accepting a cup for a cup or a fork for a fork...he is looking for ways to manipulate the objects to balance or stack or create something new/exciting.  Even eating bread turns into a game of "mom look, a boat".

I am in love with this boy!  He melts my heart, makes me want to squeeze him and literally is my heart.
I feel SO blessed to be his mommy!
