Your two bottom teeth are all situated but your top ones are still coming in... we can barely stand it when you smile. It is EXTREMELY cute. You smile and then we smile 80 watts brighter! Part of it is because it can sometimes take a while for your smile to spread across your face. You'll keep a straight face for a little bit like you're playing a trick. Then you break. You do a good job trying to act serious.
You chew on anything that surrounds you! Sometimes you'll be in this mood where you want to be snuggled while you chew, kind of like right here with Nan. I love how it squishes your eyes and you're just chewing away as I kiss and smoosh your cheeks.
You really love baths. You don't even notice I'm washing you because you're usually too fascinated with the water! I love nothing more than to bathe you, wrap you in your cozy towel, smooth that baby-smelling lotion on your fat legs, arms, and cheeks, and comb your hair to the side. You are so handsome, Jigga!
Which one of these is you?! Munga loves to wheel you around her house in this stroller, just how she did with Croz. She wanted a picture of you in her stroller to match Crosby's. Hint: you are our baby koala.
It took a while for you to get anywhere near liking the jumper. I would set you in it and you would hang there like "Why would you put me in this thing?" But just the other day I put you in it once again thinking you'd hate it again. I was washing dishes, heard a noise, saw the spring bouncing, and voila! You figured out how to jump :) Now you love jumping.
You are such a trooper. I feel daily washes of guilt because I feel like too many days go by where you get neglected. Seems like there is always a LOT to do around here, not to mention Crosby's needs too! But you are incredibly patient. Sometimes you play by yourself for the longest time without making a peep. You love to examine objects so I've tried to make sure I rotate new "toys" in your baskets to keep that intelligent mind guessing! Thanks for being so patient with me. I do like to think that I make up for you being neglected here and there. When Crosby goes down for his nap or is occupied in another room I EAT up every second I have with you alone!! We sometimes dance together, lie on the floor and look at your toys, or I just hug you really tight and kiss those cheeks right off. You are just my Boogaloo.
When you are tired you seem to amp things up a bit. You'll get a wild shot of energy, sometimes twirling your hands and feet at mach speed! Dad & I get a real kick out of your punchy times. Your laugh is hilarious.
Speaking of Dad, as hard as it is to admit this, I do believe that you two are the best of friends. He comes home and you smile brighter than I've seen all day long. I can run around like a crazy woman trying to make you laugh or smile and then Dad comes around and makes one silly noise and there you go busting a gut!
It is fun to see your relationship with your dad; the two of you can always be found in some kind of relaxation mode or position. No joke! Chill + Chill = EXXXTRAA chilled out! And yes you still suck those fingers when you're ready for sleep.
All of our love to you, sweet Lennox. Can't wait for what this next month holds in store for you!
Love,
Mom & Dad
