Things about Bryan that I love
OK well, he's my son so of course I love every single thing about him, but these are a few of my favorites of late.
When Bryan get really excited about something, whether its someone he sees, or something he wants to eat, he claps his feet together really fast and loud. Sounds like hands clapping.
Which brings me to the next one. Bryan clapps when I say "yay!", and he also does it when I sing Pat-a-Cake to him. Just melts my heart.
Bryan has a thing about his feet too. If hes sitting on my lap at the table and he cant reach something with his hands, he tries to get it with his feet. He gets a foot up on the table and tries to get what hes after with it. His toes are long enough that they could almost be fingers. Maybe hes gonna be able to do weird things like write or eat with his feet.
Bryan has got the funniest, loudest belly laugh. He loves to be picked up and have kisses on his belly, and he goes nuts when I lay on my back and pick him up in the air on my legs. One of his other favorites is being up on my shoulders and taking a ride around the house. He just screams with laughter.
Now when Im in the kitchen, all of a sudden I'll feel these little hands on my legs. Its Bryan pulling up to stand. I love feeling those little hands, and hearing his little grunts as he picks himself up and gets on his feet. No small task for such a little guy!
Last night we were looking at a book in Bryans room at bedtime, and he was pointing at things in the pictures. Another something new to celebrate!
Meal time is a real adventure now. Bryan is really wanting to feed himself alot now, which is great developmentally, and also just a hoot to watch. Everything has to be inspected from all angles, and squished in the hands thoroughly before it is fit to be swallowed. About 10 mins into his dinner, there is food covering every bit of baby too. Face and hands of course, but then there's hair, eyes, ears....... Too bad he hates having his face washed. Since food is now ending up on the floor too, Dyna is just in heaven. Hooray, table scraps!
Bryan likes to play with his spoon too, and last night I put a little food on it and gave it to him, and he did get it into his mouth. Go Bryan!!!!!!
Saying "Oh-oh!" when he drops something. Thats pretty much everything now since hes starting to toss things around more.
His determination. He can fall down over and over again, and he just gets up and tries until he gets it.Unfortunately this includes the stairs, which little man just mastered. More baby barricades!
When I walk out of the room, I'll hear "Ma!" (not ma-ma, just ma), and then see Bryan coming looking for me.
I'll never get tired of hearing Bryans soft breath as he sleeps, or the beautiful innocent look on his face.
