Big!

My big boy seems so big lately.  He has big ideas, always thinking about the world around him.  He loves big, always ready to snuggle and hug.  He laughs big and sometimes melts down big.  He likes big boy toys, like the little Legos and Hexbugs. I feel him pushing to move from the world of being small to the next step of being more independent.  

My boy is still passionate for kitties, dogs, and cars.  He loves his brother, most of the time anyway.  He loves to be nickeled and LOVES to wrestle.  He has a new love for board games and will play UNO non-stop if you let him.  

It is amazing watching him grow and watch him learn about the world.  This little man never ceases to amaze me.  I think my heart may burst with love for him!

Love at First Squeeze!

My little Z has a love, a squishy soft Giraffe we call Geff.  We bought Geff the Giraffe when we went to the Richmond Metro Zoo after his first birthday and he quickly became his very favorite.  He loves Geff even more then trying to steal his brother's favorite animals!

Watching him love that thing has become one of my very favorite things on thie Earth to see.   As I rock him to sleep every night (sometimes multiple times a night), I love how his chubby little arm goes around Geff's neck.  I love how he smiles when he finds Geff around the house and I love how he chews on its horns and tail.  I love how he positions Geff's neck around his while he is falling asleep and how he sings little Z songs to Geff when he is playing.

Mostly I just love my Z, the rest is all extra!
