Luuu-lou

The BEST thing to hear from you. You say your "love yous" to all that are around you in life. Lots of hugs and kisses go from you to all your little friends. You think and talk about Col-col, Ciss, Matt lots and are always so excited to see any of them. You talk lots now. Potty training was going well. You are now on a boycott of that and brushing your  teeth. We've had a long spell of you napping with me which has ruined bedtime since you think I'm supposed to be with you in bed again. You point to Mommy's room and cry "bed" or ask "Momma, sit" meaning stay beside your crib again and stroke your head until you are asleep. You've seen deer recently in our sideyard/backyard and thought that was pretty cool. Your incisors are halfway through. Let's see... you're gonna be 2 in two months. You understand really in-depth concepts such as behind, turn it over, "it's imaginary", and full drawn out conversations. Well your pregnant Momma is beat so ...

Starting March...

Good grief it's been too long! Just wanted to get this down though. Last  night Daddy got you to successfully float on your back. You loved it once you got the hang of it. We cheered and cheered for you. You have been super kind in hanging out with your very tired, pregnant Mommy. I can't believe you are going to be a big brother. I guess I haven't even written about that yet. Another blog eh? But we have been napping lots together since work has been slow for me. Which is wonderful actually. I already feel that sense of "oh no I'm going to loose all the special time with my Haydin". I'm certain you and I will figure it all out though. We went to a playdate yesterday and that was lots of fun. Tomorrow we are meeting friends for lunch and then having two girlfriends and their kids over for playtime. I really need to do it more often honestly. So good for the both of us to have these connections and relationships. Already having to enroll you in school for next year to keep your place. We've had a couple warm days lately and the daffodils are peeking up out of the ground... always good for the spirit. Very excited for gardening this spring and summer with you. Anyway, short and sweet cuz I'm feeling blah.
