This month has been such a big month for you, peanut. You became a big brother! You have taken this big change like a champ. I am going to be honest, I was a bit worried at first. You aren’t a fan of hospitals so when you came to visit you were a little hesitant. You didn’t want to come near mommy in the hospital bed, which I understood. It was odd to see your mama with wires and all sorts of weird things. You admired your sister from a distance, but you mostly just wanted to play with the big window. Then you unfortunately got sick and we weren’t able to see you for a couple days. When we brought sissy home you kept your distance and watched. You didn’t really want mommy and became really attached to daddy. That hurt this mama heart a little, but it didn’t last forever. You have warmed up more and more each day and you are pretty much a pro now. You instantly seem so much bigger to me now that we have your sister. It’s like you grew up overnight and I can’t believe it. 

You talk so much. I am sure anyone can guess where you get that from. You carry on full conversations with us, half of what we can understand and the other half we have no idea but it really is just the cutest thing. You love going to class at church and making new friends. You are such a character and extremely outgoing. I love watching your personality emerge more and more every day. You are doing so well at saying thank you and your welcome now, but when you say thank you you drag out the “thank” in a high pitched tone and I giggle every time. I love toddler talk. 

You are incredibly smart. We have started playing Sequence for Kids with you. We don’t play by the game rules, but we pull out a card and have you find the animal on the board and you do such a good job. You know a lot of your animals and their sounds my particular favorite is the way you make the owl and monkey noises. And I adore the way you say elephant! This stage is so fun watching you learn and start to grasp different things, it is such a joy to watch.

You are becoming less and less of a baby every day and more and more a little boy. It’s crazy watching you grow so quick before my eyes. I can’t believe in just two short months you will be two. I guess it’s time to start planning! 

Until next month.
