My little man really amaze me. He is just talking up a storm and sometimes I'm not sure where he's learned the words he says. He likes to name body parts (and enjoys saying "bugger" when he points inside his nose...that's from mommy wiping his nose and saying "ewww..let's get these buggers out of there". How does he just remember stuff like that?) He's very good at naming his primary colors and can count my fingers up to 5 with me...then when I try to stop at 5 he says "thix". He likes to help me with the laundry and just starts handing me one thing at a time saying "holp" every, single time. A great thing.... anytime someone sneezes he says "bess- shu"(translation: God Bless You). We find ourselves sneezing around here alot more than we really need to just so we can here him say it! And....when I'm in the kitchen and the gate is up he hangs over it with his arms out and cries "seeeee youuuuuuu". It's pathetic, yet cute. I have realized that I spend so much time worrying about his health and the unknowns in our future that sometimes I forget to just notice and appreciate the wonderful, normal baby developments and milestones. We have our trip to AL to see our family scheduled for July 23-Aug 9..another plane trip with Jacob, but not nearly as long as the one to NJ, so I'm not too worried about it. My family saw the kids in March and then over Memorial Day weekend when we went to NJ for my grandmother's funeral, but Scott's family hasn't seen them since Christmas. They will probably both have changed so much to them. (I'm thinking Steph is probably a couple inches taller than she was at Christmas!) Hope everyone has a great 4th and a wonderful holiday weekend! I probably won't update in the next few days, so I wanted to wish sweet little Jake C. (my "bestie from PA" 's little boy) a very happy 1st birthday on Sunday! We love you! Give your mommy a big hug and kiss from us! Love to all, Cindy
