This little guy continues to move, amaze, surprise, exhaust, and thrill us. We're grateful to share our lives with him.
In no particular order, here's what he's into these days:
- Likes to "hide"in nooks and crannies around our house--under a desk, in a closet, etc.
- Obsessed with the songs "The Wheels on the Bus," "Head and Shoudlers, Knees and Toes," and "Bean Bag Rock" and prefers that I sing them as a medley, switching songs on his command. :)
- Loves to be outside and often goes to the door, knocks, and tries to turn the handle
- Says probably 40 words that I can understand (and sometimes others can understand) including Mama, Dada, moon (or "noon," as he says), ball, dog, Jesus, cheese, knock, night-night, eggs, and lots of family and friends' names
- Sleeps 11+ hours at night
- Has 8 teeth
- Still loves all things wheels--especially strollers, lawn mowers, and anything else that's technically too big for him to push
- Really into tractors and busses right now
- Several times a day, he looks at the TV (which is off), says "Dada" and starts cheering. He's seen his Daddy watch one too many intense football games this season!
- Helps me make breakfast every morning. Not just watch. Help. Adding cheese, stirring something in a bowl, pushing the buttons on the blender for a smoothie. There's no "You go play while Mommy makes breakfast" at our house, but that's okay. I like a man who can cook.
- Loves stuffed and real animals
- Loves to throw balls and then chase them
- Obsessed with helping me do laundry and vacuum
- Is walking as of 14 months
- Prefers nudity to wearing clothes (even in the winter)
- Is OFF BOTTLES--hallelujah!
- Pretty much down to one nap
- Can identify the letters "O," "Q," and "S" on the alphabet fridge magnets
- Has learned to "fist bump"--the cooler alternative to high fives
- Loves to snuggle and watch Baby Einstein movies before he goes to sleep
- Favorite foods: guacamole, yogurt, bread, pancakes, waffles, eggs, meat of any kind, clementines, bananas, black beans, chips and crackers
- Has started looking at books on his own and turning the pages like he's reading
- Loves to dance and will often start bobbing even when there's no music playing
- Splashes and kicks in the bath until everything is thoroughly doused, and wants a bubble bath every night

Cannot wait to meet Mr. Moo in less than two months! And those two pics...serious cuteness going on.
Is it too early to start an official countdown until you're here in OK?
His uncle Dave LONGED for his own lawn mower when he was 2 - 5 years of age and finally at age 5 was big and strong enough to push ours to mow our lawn - really! He couldn't wait to have the "privilege" of doing so. He even had his own technical terms for its parts (though we never figured out exactly what part the terms referred to): the "paumper" and the "chaunk". So Moo has big shoes to fill! Can't wait to have him here this weekend! Love - Ginni
Loving the update! Want to meet this little guy so bad! :)
Ashely, we've had the countdown going for a while now! Never too early!
VA, I thought of Dave when M started loving the real lawnmower so much. Not sure we'll let him mow at 5 years old, but I'm sure he'll want to! Can't wait to see you either!
Em, miss you lots and would love to see you sometime soon!
