We welcomed you to our family on March 27, 2014.
To start off I just wanted to say that you are such a happy baby boy! You love smiling and you constantly make us smile. You are such an explorer; you climb, you run, you jump, you play, and everything in between. You are a cuddly little boy, more so than your sister was. You like to hug and get kisses, it's been absolutely amazing. You are rarely sad except when you get in trouble for something, then the look on your face is the saddest thing I've ever seen. You love to eat lots of different things, you love playing with your Mickey Legos, you are a joy to have in our house.
When you were born you spent the first few weeks sleeping in our room and then we moved you to the bathroom upstairs. We realized early on that Ava couldn't have a sleeping buddy in her room and your mom didn't want you downstairs so we moved you to the upstairs. You've now been sleeping in that bathroom for the last 16 months of your life. Your mother is a little embarrassed about it, but I think it'll be a great story you can tell your children. Your mother did a great job at training you to sleep well and so you go to bed without a hitch and you stay asleep most of the time. Lately you've been standing up in your crib after we put you down and opening the door that we close slightly. When you see one of us you just smile.
You're now going to nursery and have been for several months. You don't like to leave us at all but after a few minutes you seem to start forgetting about us and have a fun time playing with the toys and eating a snack. Jayne Russell is your nursery teacher along with a few other good women. You love to take the sacrament and often times try to take two pieces of bread. You're always really good about putting the tiny water cup back in the tray when you're done. It has been so enjoyable watching you at church.
You can't pronounce your S's at the start of some words so snow is no and stinky is inky. It's been so fun listening to you learn to talk and say your words. You do a pretty good job of repeating words that your sister tells you to say. You have the best expressions on your face. Sometimes you open up your eyes really wide and smile at something we say. You are constantly pointing at things to laugh at. We absolutely love watching you.
I want you to know how special you are to me, I love you with all my heart and pray for you to make the right choices in your life and have the holy ghost with you wherever you go. I hope and pray you don't make the same dumb mistakes that I make on a daily basis. You have a great mother to teach you what to do and how to do it.
I could probably write an entire novel on what you did during the last few years but I'll leave that for the angels for now, and just get this started and going finally!
