As you can see, as he ages his confidence grows. He can often be found standing on items that make me faint of heart. Some favorites are the dining room table and the arms of the couch. He loves to find adventure in the everyday, and I love that about him. He is always seeking fun, and I hope he always will.
I am so happy that we were able to get this family photo. Since he never stops moving, it has been nearly impossible to get any photos of us together. Luckily, he loves taking selfies and making videos so I have plenty of those. He is such a ham.
Much to my supreme delight, he LOVES reading. He wants to read everyday, and usually more than once per day. We are so glad that he enjoys it. We have all of his birthday cards on the mantle, and he asks me to take them down so he can read his "books." He is so excited, but then confused as to why they are only one page long! He is so inquisitive too. No matter where we are or what we are doing, he will point and say, "What's dis?" His vocabulary has just exploded this summer, and we are so proud of him.
Just as when he was a baby, eating is still one of his favorite past times. He is a growing boy who never stops moving, and he needs to refuel often! Some of his current favorites are hummus, watermelon, chips, ketchup, any breakfast foods, and of course, birthday cake. The first thing he says every morning is, "I eat!"
Hands down, this boy has such a gentle nature. He can raise heck with the best of them, but he has such a sweet soul. So much love seeps out of him, and we just could eat him up. He loves to give hugs, but is stingy with his kisses. I love that he will hold my hand, and sometimes asks to do so. I am soaking it up because I know one day he will not want me so close. He and Dave have such a great relationship. Dave is always teaching him, and LX is right there soaking it up. Dave waters the flowers with him, lets him "help" when he is working around the house, and is so present in LX's life. This is such a blessing. I love my boys.
