Here are some things we have discovered this month:
You are trying to so hard to sit up. You are still wobbly, but if I put pillows around you, you will lean up against the couch and you love it!
You have discovered the music in you! You have certain songs that when you hear, you start to sing along. This was discovered first when dad and I were listening to "I Love You Love" by John Legend. You started cooing along with the song. I thought it was a fluke or just us getting excited that you might love music the way we do, so later I played some other music, then went back to that song and sure enough, you started to sing again! As time has passed we have found a few other songs as well that you love to sing along to.
You started eating cereal and you love it!
You got your first ear infection; it was so sad.
You had your first Halloween
You are talking a lot more and you smile so easily now!
You are REALLY giggling, but not all the time. You still grunt a lot when you laugh and when you decide you are done finding something funny, there is NO getting a laugh out of you again.
You have started TRYING to roll over while laying on your back. You will bend your knees and tip to the side but that's as far as you go.
You are very good at grabbing things, you reach for your toys as well as other things... such as mommy's hair and earrings. Ouch!
In the bath tub you love to find the towel and suck all the water out of it. I have to make sure to ring it out several times because you've given yourself a tummy ache from drinking too much water from the towel!
You got to meet your cousins Elsie and Alia finally! We spent a whole week sleeping over and Grammy and Pops' house during the Thanksgiving break. You loved your cousins, you would all sit and stare at each other and you would grab on to the girls' skirts or hands and just look perfectly happy to be together.
You are very sensitive. If you ever hear another baby cry your eyes immediately fill with tears and your bottom lip comes out.
You suck on your bottom lip when you're tired.
You met your great grandpa Williams for the first time
We discovered you have another cousin on the way! Baby Pearce will be born May, 2012
You put EVERYTHING in your mouth, especially your fist and fingers along with the knuckles of whoever is holding you at the moment.
Everyone always says, "OH! THOSE CHEEKS!" when they see you.
You drool ALL the time.
And most importantly, you were blessed this month!
We love you so much and that love grows and grows every day. I sometimes just sit and watch you and still can't believe how cute you are and that you are MINE! Your great grandma Pearce lives with Grandma and Grandpa right now and every time you visit she just says how beautiful you are and that she's never seen a more beautiful baby. People are always telling me to put pictures of you in baby contests or try to get you in Gerber commercials. You are such a little man and have never been mistaken for a girl because you are just so clearly a boy baby.
I love you so much!
