Most of them take place in the high chair because, well, you are so fast that it's hard to get a decent video of you when you're not immobilized in some way.
First of all: BLUEBERRIES!
You love this little fruit so much, and you've really gotten quite good at feeding yourself thanks to blueberries.
Just a few short weeks ago, you had to use your whole hand to mush finger food into your mouth hole. This lead to some hilarity when blueberry skins would get precariously perched on your cute face.
But now you've advanced into 'pincer' stage, which means you're grasping food between your thumb and pointer finger. A lot of food still winds up not in your mouth (and subsequently winds up in your hair, on the floor, stuck in the crevices of the high chair and between your eyes), but, you're getting so much better!
And, that pointer finger is getting such a work out. Not too long ago you switched from reaching with all fingers extended toward things you liked, things you were looking at, things you wanted to go-to-there. But you've evolved yet again. Now you're really on point!
Check out this video of you pointing to an old toy Aunt Sham gave you that we recently unearthed and...much to our amazement...you love it! Every time you see it you ask us to play it, or if you're close enough, you play it yourself!
The bright light city really lights up your life! (And is exceptionally helpful when you are pissed at us for changing your diapers!) I know how you feel though (not about the diaper thing, about the being lit up thing), because you really light up our lives!
You make us so happy...even the little things like how you kick your feet when your happily eating...
To your infectious laugh when something tickles you just right...
Or growing up before our very eyes and perferring Mommy's bread to your own (albeit still eating with whole-hand)...
This Valentine's Day I really understand why the mascot is a naked baby. It has nothign to do with Cupid at all. It's because your Mommy and I are so truly, madly, deeply in love with you! Of course, we are super-de-duper in love with eachother too...even when we get yelled at for leaving our socks out. So, on this holiday dedicated to the power of the heart and the crazy little thing called love, your Mom and I are doubly blessed, not only to have found eachother, but to have you in our lives as well.
We love you, and although you will not be eating chocolate or heart-shaped candies, this is a Valentine's day for three (plus two doglets): we love you, and can't get enough of your love (which explains the abundance of videos).
Oh, PS, remember that really embarrassing photo of you from your 6-month photo shoot? Yeah, even though you're almost twice as old and twice as cute, I couldn't resist turning it in to a Valentine. A modest list of your friends and family received this gem in their inboxes today.
All you need is Love (and the occasional white fuzzy blanket)!
We love you, son! Thank you for lighting up our lives everyday!
