Our little guy is becoming not so little. He is growing up so fast, and is the best kid ever (of course Lee and I think that...aren't we supposed to?!). Today I watched some videos of Damon when he was a little baby, and I just about cried. I love the stage he is in right now, but I do miss that little baby. I guess its a good thing his little brother is on his way!
Some of his favorite things to do:
- Play outside (run, dig in dirt, throw rocks, pick up sticks, pick grass, go to the park)
- Go to the pool (he loves playing in the sand, play in the water, and yes...he already thinks he can swim and walks out into where it is too deep and starts going under water. You'd think he'd be afraid, but he just jumps and smiles, probably because he knows I am right there to pick him up).
- Play with dogs. He is such a dog lover. If you know me, this isn't the best news in the world. I like dogs just fine, but I don't really want to own one. Now I have Lee and Damon that will bug me about it. Damon is not afraid of them one bit, he will let dogs lick him all over (yuck), jump on him, knock him over...he loves it all.
- He loves to help clean, put things away, throw stuff in the garbage, help Mom vacuum, etc. The problem is, he also loves to make messes.
- He loves to go to the library and play with the choo-choo trains and read books.
- He loves to be around other kids. He plays pretty well with other kids, especially older ones. He also loves babies...it is really sweet. He just stares at them, gets really calm, and softly touches them.
- He loves to feed himself...messy.
- He loves, loves, loves to play with balls. He can spot one anywhere, and can usually be seen holding, kicking or throwing a ball.
- He likes to play chase. He thinks it is the best game ever when I chase him and Daddy around the house.
There are so many other things that he loves, but you get the idea!
Things he says:
Mama (sometimes it sounds like Ma-my), Dada (or Da), car, ball, dog, grass, stick, rock, bubbles, poopies, yuck, snack, almost all animal sounds, nose, shoe, spoon, key, stairs, apple, nigh night, owie, no, duck, back, away.
Of course I can tell what he is saying, some of the words are pretty hard to make out and others wouldn't have a clue as to what he is saying!
He makes us so so so happy and we love him more than anything. He really is such a fun, happy, adventurous little boy.
Some pictures
He loves putting on Lee's shoes and trying to walk in them.
Probably wanting me to put the camera away.
Cute sleeper.
Just up from a nap.
Big boy. His hair is so curly.
At the pool.
Cute head of hair!
He likes to take out all the condiments, and then put them all back.
We went to the Zoo and Lee was able to come with us. We only went for two hours. Damon was a little unsure at first and wanted us to hold him.
Petting the camel.
I love this picture. He was so tired and just wanted to cuddle Daddy.

On the carousel.
Here I am with my two boys. 18 1/2 weeks in this picture. I probably won't post many baby bump pictures.
