Hey little Mister! You continue to amaze us each and every day. We are realizing more and more that you know more than you lead on... You will randomly make the correct animal sound or point to our eyes and say "Eye" but if we really want you to do it...you just ignore us. We have found out recently you know what a lion is, a monkey, a duck, an elephant, a pig, and a cow. Who knows what else you know! :) You will sometimes "Moooo" when you see the cow, you'll quack for a duck, make monkey sounds, make elephant sound with your arm as a trunk, and so on! You just understand every thing that we are saying now...it really is neat. We say sit down, you listen. Hand that to mama...you hand it to me. It's just nuts how much your little brain absorbs in such a short amount of time!

You still have the dinner battle with us... If it's not waffles, French toast, or some sort of crackers (PB&J on crackers, cheese on crackers, Lunchables, etc) you refuse to eat it. You just spit it out immediately. It's frustrating; I worry about your nutrition all the time. Are you having enough vegetables, enough fruit? Getting enough protein, calcium, enough vitamins? Dr. Parr just tells me to let you eat what you want to eat...as long as you're eating SOMETHING...we are fine.

You have some mornings where you are a total Grumpy Pants! You throw yourself around and head butt, kick, tell and s ream because you just do not want to wake up that early! Once we get you up and moving...you turn into your happy little self. You want to read books, play with your toys, and you know your routine. Daddy typically gets you dressed so Mama can start her make up for work but you know as soon as you're ready...you run into the bathroom to find me to brush your teeth. You love brushing! That's a good sign! :)

The weather is finally getting nice out! You absolutely love being outside! You throw such a fit if we will not take you out there. You love playing basketball, swinging, playing in the grass, riding in your truck or whatever else you can get your hands into out there. You just love being outdoors. I am excited to get our pool open this summer; with as much as you love water...you're going to love swimming! We bought a bike trailer so you can ride behind Daddy's bike when we go for rides... At first, you screamed and cried when we put you in it. We knew as soon as we started riding you would be fine...and you were! You said "Wheeee!@ the entire ride! The next night...you fell asleep on the ride! Goodness, what a rough life!!!

Mothers Day was last weekend. That was a hard day for Mama. A VERY hard day! I miss Ma so incredibly much. We planted an apple tree at our house and one at Auntie's house in her memory. You got down and helped "dig" the hole... Which made me smile. When you weren't doing that, you were running around having the time of your life with Kendalyn and Kassidy. All I wanted to do on Mothers Day was something in memory of my Mom and just spend the day with you. You are the absolute love of my life and I know I've said it before, but I couldn't make it through this without you. Your hugs and your kisses make Mama's heart feel whole again. Your Daddy is amazing...but it's you that can make me feel the best!

Sheena had a dream the other night that Ma was well again. She was crawling around on the ground playing with you! Ma just kept saying how much you reminded her of Uncle Dave...and I have actually heard that so many times as well. Before Ma passed away, she would always tell me that being around you and the girls brought her back to when we were kids. She loved watching you play with them. So that dream is so neat to hear about...so many people say you look like Uncle David, and I do have to agree! There's soooo much of your Daddy in you too, though! So I can't figure out who you look like more! I just know you're absolutely perfect.
