Welcome to my life. It's crazy, filled with love, and often a bit messy. I wouldn't have it any other way.

What's Going on in There?

Recently I've been so intrigued by Jared.
He is so friendly and says "Hi" to everyone we pass, especially at the grocery store. You can tell that he really is brightening some people's day. What a little light he is. Also, he's talking up a storm, both in words I can understand and in gibberish. We've even been working on "please" and "thank you" and he's used them on his own a few time. Yay for polite kids! He's also really interested in having me label everything for him. No encouragement needed. This kid will repeat exactly what you say, so be careful. He loves going places where he can interact with kids. We go to the park and he walks right up to kids, waves and says hi. Sometimes I wish that I could sit and watch him in the nursery at church because I'm sure he's having the time of his life. One of my favorite things that he's doing lately is that he'll pull a book off the shelf and sit there "reading" it to himself. Mostly he's talking gibberish, but every once in awhile he'll say a word that's on the page. He has such a good memory and loves being read to. The last week or so Jared has also started being more cuddly. He'll come and snuggle in my lap and walk up and give me a kiss.
There's just so much going on in his life. You can tell that he's learning things every day. I often sit and wonder what is going on in that little head of his.
I'm thankful for my little man.

Those are some of my favorite things about children. They are so curious and when they are learning about the world around them you can't help but want to just sit back and watch. I can't wait to see you and Jared and how much he's grown since just last month! Miss you!
