In the Hood

As life would have it time has not been on my side and I have not been able to make the time to update the Happy Daze we've been having together. Most recently you have left babyhood and entered boyhood! My gosh! Its so cliche to write/say how fast time goes and you wont really know until you have your own child what it really means. You are SO much fun right now! Dad and I are always saying that multiple times a day! Here's why:

Fun Guy:
1. You've learned to say NO by saying "Ne" (nay) and then laughing immediately after saying it and shaking your head.

2. You also say yes but like no more. When saying Yes you say "Ga" and shake your head up and down.

3. You say Olida for Oliver and I think you love Ollie the most! You give him lots of hugs and kisses on a daily basis...sometimes to his dispelasure.



4. You say "Aaaaa daaa" when blowing or giving kisses. You blow and give kisses to Luke (your favorite toy budy), Oliver the cat, me, dad, Gramsy, Gram, Pop, pictures of your friends and when you want to leave and say good bye you start giving lot's of kisses.

5. You love being chased and dad said being scared...LOL. Sometime I hide from you and JUMP out and you LOVE it! It's all while dad holds your hand and you try to find me. Then I chase you. You laugh and run and laugh some more.

6. You know all the charachters in your Sesame Street book. Dad just showed you them once and you remembered them all and can point them out.

7. You LOVE eating and right now your favorite food is-Quinoa, beans, bananas (first thing you want to eat everyday and you say Nana), chicken, carrots, apples, veggie stix.

8. You love your cousins and call Rosa "Doda" and you find such joy running or snugging with cousin May May!

9. You can walk on your own but still prefer holding mine and Dads hand. Just today you were making some moves on your own while playing with other bigger kids and we were so proud of your independance.

10. When asked "What's your name" you answered "Coco" for Rocco but you usually you answer by saying "Dada"..."Oh" we say, "Your name is Dada?" and you smile and say "Dada!"

11. You're really funny. And when Dad and I comment privately to one another on how funny we think you are...you'll over hear us and say something and then start laughing...as if to say "yeah, Im funny, listen..."



12. You have us put on a dino tattoo on your forarms daily. And if it is not there you point to the spot you want it and say "Uh!?" as if saying...where is it? Then when we are out on the playground our with friends you make sure to point out and show off your new tat! Love it!



Anyway, we are so grateful for the fun filled and busy days that come along with parenting! You are turning into such a wonderful little boy!
