All the Little Things

You like to hold your own pacifier...and the funniest thing is when you yank it out of your mouth when you get mad because it's not a bottle. You have even shown your strength (and temper) by taking both hands and throwing it out of your mouth across the room.













You made a big debut at church again today. Everyone couldn't get over how much you've grown. At 9 weeks old, you are over 9 pounds and finally into 0-3 month clothes. That is so fun for mommy, because the outfits start to get really cute!













You still love to make all kinds of faces, and while the serious furrowed brow is still your favorite, we are just in love with your smiling face! You are intereacting on a whole new level, smiling and laughing and making all kinds of noises.
















We went to the pool today, although daddy wouldn't let you go in (just remember, he's the meany, not me). You still love being outdoors - even in the 90 degree weather - and it puts you right to sleep.










Daddy is so glad you can finally fit into your Nike outfits. He bought this for you as soon as we found out we were getting you. He also has some Miami Hurricane outfits he's dying for you to wear. Hopefully by the time football season rolls around, you'll be able to sport the team wear.














I love that you look at us now. I love that you talk to us. You try so hard to mimmick the sounds we make. I love that when mommy or daddy get close to your face to kiss you, you pucker your lips as if you're ready to kiss us back. I love when you get frustrated and want us to pick you up and you start this little wimper. It's the cutest sound. I love that you bury your face when you want to curl up in our arms and sleep. You know when daddy's holding you because you slide right into your sleeping position, comfortably across his chest. I love that when we lay you down to sleep you curl yourself right into a little ball and flip from your back to your side. I love how you put your little arms underneath your face, proving your own little pillow when you sleep. I love all the little things about you, sweet one, and most of all I love you.

When I think about the fact that you have been perfectly placed into our lives, I'm just blown away. Although daddy and I did not make you, you were made perfectly for us!
