Love you.

We've been having a blast with the recent snow. Your Uncle Chris and Matt came over. They all took turns pulling you in the sled, rolling around with you, trying to show you how amazing the snow is. Also I haven't been working so much so more time for you we've spent so much time just cuddling together and reading books. We were all sick once again, no fun there. Mommy starts coughing though and there you are rubbing my back lovingly. You are very good about coughing into your arm since we taught you that. Lately you have started saying "no" allot. We don't know where you've gotten it, probably school, since we don't really use it that often with you. It's really so cute though and Dad and I have a hard time not laughing, or even just smiling, because your mouth forms this perfect little "o" and it's "nooooooooOOOO" you say shaking your head emphatically. This morning you were very specific about me not just giving you soy milk but your chocolate soy (which is a super green food powder for kids that has cocoa in it). It was really amazing to me since you were using your own word for it and I didn't understand so I lifted you up and you got it out of the fridge and then grabbed the soy also. You know everyone's names:
Nana
Papa
Col Col (Aunt Colleen)
Kiss (Chris)
Keg (Craig)
Matt
Lynn
Jason
Mike
and we are working furiously on Grandma and Grandpa. They will be here this next weekend though and I'm sure you will get it right away this time. Seems Gama and Gampa are easier though. We'll see if they go for that for now. Riding in the car you are adamant about giving back your snack or drink to me when you are finished. You certainly like everything just so. You've picked right back up on potty training. We definitely are letting you lead us there and aren't pushing you but we are really surprised by you. You continue to be super affectionate to everyone and that makes me prouder than anything. To see the outward expression of what I first felt about your spirit since holding you inside me, is a joy.
