Ba {ll}

As he points to those magical spheres he excitedly exclaims "Ba-ow." Translation: Ball. It is our first word and I couldn't be more thrilled. Our little man is learning so much and is growing so fast. He will fold his arms (for about 2 seconds) when we say "we are going to say a prayer now" and when we are finished he will add his own "May-mem." Translation: Amen.

He loves to read his books, roll cars around the house, and help with the laundry and dishes. He is a good eater, though he only eats it if it looks the same as our food. He loves to walk, run, and go backwards and recently he started leading us by the hand.

 He is a water baby. We took him swimming at the hotel swimming pool and when he saw his flotation device, he couldn't wait to go down. He carried it all the way to the pool from the 6th floor! If we offered to take it for him (or even touch it for that matter) he would give us the "look" and pull it away. He is very helpful for sure.

The "look"

Oh the simple joys of a mother's life!
