This little man can not wait to be big.  He wants to do everything his big sister does whether he can or not.

He says so many words it's hard to remember how young he really is.  His favorite word right now is "mines".  I just heard you say awww.  But it is NOT cute when you hear it 100 times a day.  He also says banana, apple, kitty, Jordy, Abby, Daddy, puppy, bye bye, baby, Mama, down, up, blankie, no, go-go, le's go, and bath.  Ba ba means blankie, nuk or a cup depending on the immediate need at that time.

He still keeps us guessing with sleep.  Sometimes he'll go down really nice but wake up hours later screaming.  Otherwise he'll be a nightmare to put to sleep and then sleep until 7:00 am.  Two weeks ago he cried for midnight until three AM for no identifiable reason.

He has 8 teeth and a couple we can feel may be trying to pop through.

Taking in the view of downtown Chicago.

His favorite food is bananas.  He could probably eat 4 at one sitting if we let him.  He is always hungry but is getting pickier.  But like his sister, there is no fruit he will turn away.  He also will never turn down cheese.

He doesn't really play with any one toy.  He did take to carrying around one of Abby's dolls for a few days but prefers to rip all her books now and break everything in our home including his skull.

At home he mostly screams mines and cries a lot but he does a really loud adorable fake laugh when Abby is laughing about something.  He has started giving kisses and hugs.  He loves to climb and snuggle.  He is a handful but at the end of the day he snuggles in so close when you read to him and it recharges your battery for the next day.  Love this little crying mess of a man.
