What is it that has made him so lovingly irresistable? He talks. Oh yes he does.....and it is a little slice of heaven!
For the last...oh......5 months or so, he has been screaming anytime he needs ANYTHING. A high pitched, ear piercing, patience-testing scream. And this momma has VERY LITTLE PATIENCE! So, I have been working very hard to teach him to sign for help, and to use his words. Only problem was- he really didn't have any words! And he isn't willing to say much, so I had to choose wisely. I chose "mama". And he loved it. And he basically sounds like a broken record, but I would rather listen to his sweet little voice call my name all day than the ear piercing screech. In fact, for the first time in 14 months, I woke at 7am to his sweet little voice over the monitor saying "mama, mama, mama" instead of dramatic miserable crying. LOVE my happy little boy!!!
And he is a sweetheart. I love his mushy little body in the morning, clammy skin, and sweet little smell as he holds me tight around my neck when I get him from the crib. He seems to understand everything we say- and it seemed to happen so quickly, all of a sudden- he just gets it! And get this......I think he is on his way to finding comfort from his binky!!! I know, a little late in the game, but he needs it. And I need him to have something to comfort him other than my chest (which, by the way, he now asks for by name- points and says 'ball'.) Ha!
Is he a sweetheart or what??!!!! Kisses are adorable- sometimes it is a gentle lean in with mouth closed, other times he comes right at you with his mouth wide open. We have so much fun together- he knows when he is being funny and loves to play around with Emma. I especially love his belly laugh...even his eyes smile when he laughs.
