You are crawling all over the place. Correction: Once you figured out HOW to crawl you lost patience with it and are cruising all over the place, only crawling when there isn't something to help keep you on your feet!
Your Daddy proposed to me on May 23 and you started crawling all over the place the very next day. We thought it would never happen. You were so very close, but just wouldn't quite get it for so long then all of the sudden you crawled like a champ across the room!
You are now standing for a few seconds when you don't realize you are standing alone. As soon as you recognize that you don't have anyone holding you or that you are not holding anything else you panic and grab for something or someone. You are so close to walking though and it has only been a few short weeks that you've been crawling!
You got to meet Auntie Kim, Uncle John, Cousin Austin, Auntie Debbie, Uncle Steve, and Papa Cuatro this week and weekend. It was really busy but you did really great. I was surprised at how quickly you took to Kim and John. At first I thought you were going to be hesitant but after only a couple of minutes you were reaching for Auntie Kim. Within an hour of them being here you were entertaining Kim, John and Austin from that moment forward. Austin wanted to hold you so bad and Uncle John wouldn't let you go! Austin finally got his turn, but he had to wait! You loved relaxing with Auntie Kim so much that we started calling her Auntie Sedative because you conked out almost every time she held you for the first few days. It was pretty funny, but also pretty cool that you were able to relax with her so completely so soon. Though Steve and Deb were only here a few hours you did grace them with a few sweet smiles and then Papa Cuatro and you played and snuggled for the next couple of days before they had to leave. You must not have wanted them to go because you really struggled to stay awake until the last moment the night they left. It was like you knew that when you woke they would be on the road to their home and you weren't quite ready to let them go yet. Rest assured son, I don't think they were quite ready to leave you either.
We are blessed with a full and close family on both sides, Son. You have so many more family members to meet! Love and joy for you is evident in everyone so far. I pray that your precious smile and sweet nature will be permanent as we get to visit everyone.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot that you have a nasty cold right now. You are snuggled nest to me for your nap and are so stuffy as you breathe in your sleep it breaks my heart. I know the doc says it is good for you to get some of these bugs knocked out while you are young, but as your Mommy I have a really hard time with not being able to just fix it for you when you don't feel good. You also have a top tooth trying very hard to pop out, but it hasn't made it past a bubble on your gums for a good few days. We'll see if it will pop through and join the other two bottom ones you have soon or if it will sink back into your gums and rest a while longer. I do know though that teething is tough on you and I don't look forward to when your wisdom teeth come in when you grow up. These baby ones have been hard enough on all of us!
Always with love,
Mommy
