Love you

Last night might have been my favorite moment since bringing our little guy home. I got him ready for bed, pulled back his blankets and laid him down. I was putting some stuff away in his room and I told him I loved him. While laying there he replied with love you...My heart melted...I lost it. I ran downstairs to grab Caleb. I took him into our little guy's room and then our little guy said it again to Caleb. I was bawling as we walked out of his room for the night. I am one happy mommy this morning. It is amazing how two little words can make you feel on top of the world.

Two months home

I cannot believe we have been home with him for two months. Our two month anniversary as a family and it is Christmas day. Honestly....I didn't think he would be home for Christmas this year. This post will be about how he has grown and changed over the last month. The next post will be about Christmas.


Food-
Loves: Milk, yogurt, crackers, grab and go fruit, fruit snacks, Jello, pasta, PB&J sandwiches, toast
Dislikes: Cheese, most meats


Toys-
Loves: Cars (beep beeps), balls, teddy bear, books, mimi (baby girl doll)


New words he says-
Teeth (says it as he points to his)
More (he signs more as he says it) 
Ho Ho Ho (for what Santa says)
Bea (Bear)
Bi (Bird)
Na (No)
Peeee (Please)
BA (Bath)
Bapa (grandpa)
Bu (Bud - his uncle)
Ka (for something hot)
Ow (ouch)
Bye
Quack (for a duck)
Moo (for a cow)
Neigh (for a horse...this has to be the cutest thing we have seen.)


New words he understands-
Eyes
Ears
Music

Coat


Other-
He likes to walk around with any device held to his ear as if he were on the phone. He paces and talks all around the house. He loves to open and close everything...any door, drawer, or bottle have been untouched. His personality gets better and better. It is amazing how many people tell us how beautiful he is...not just handsome but beautiful. I always agree with them. He smiles with his eyes and it will make any persons heart skip a beat.

First hot dog

Over the weekend we decided to try our first restaurant as a family of three. Overall our little guy did great. He had his first hot dog. He would only eat it if there was bun in the bite. He was not a fan of just hot dog.  He didn't eat the whole thing but I was impressed that he ate as much as he did. We decided to give him a fry with fry sauce on it. He couldn't get enough of the sauce. He just wanted to lick the sauce off the fry. Since we don't double dip we went through a lot of fries. Based on our experience I think there could be more restaurants in our future, which is great....that means less cooking. Ha ha. not that I did a lot of it anyway.

*** Next post will be about a shopping experience over the weekend.

Word of the week

We decided that we wanted to start a word of the week with our little guy. We give him a word to say and point out. Two weeks ago we chose the word teeth. He now points to his teeth and says teeth. Last weeks word was nose. He points to his nose and says no. This plan is working out pretty good.
