Lots Going On

So our little man turned 5 months old on Tuesday. That is so hard for me to believe. He is such a fun little guy. Here are a few facts about the big boy:

• He is getting more in to a routine and napping good.
• He is teething and loves to chew on just about anything.
• He likes to sleep with his cutie patootie bum in the air.
• He has woken up the last two mornings with a big ol' poopie diaper and laughing hysterically (what can I say...he is male).
• He likes to ride with the windows down
• He is pretty obsessed with his mama.
• Between 4-7 at night are not his "happy hour"
• He loves baths
• He is trying to scoot
• He sucks his middle finger & ring finger together (and signs "I love you") instead of sucking his thumb
• He likes to sleep with white noise
• He is about to grow out of the cradle his Grampy built for him and Lucy McLean
• He makes my heart melt when he grins
• He is hopefully smarter than his mama who took some cute pictures of the boy, downloaded them, and can't for the life of me find them on the computer to post them :(
• He is an amazing blessing and is growing up WAY too fast!

In other news...

• We are moving tomorrow. We will be back in Brevard, living out of our suitcases, for the next week. Then we are officially back in RowCo (my hometown).
• Lucy McLean manages to make us laugh, scream inside, want to cry, and want to eat her up all at the same time. She is hilarious, defiant, and very entertaining. After a very long night of defiance, we decided to take a walk last night. On our walk, she asked Ryan..."How ya doing Day-ad?" He told her "Good, how are you Lucy McLean?" She replied "Good" He asked her why she wasn't great and she replied "I'm two"...which pretty much sums it all up.

And because Lucy McLean will be 28 months old tomorrow, here are some fun facts about her right now...

• She loves her baby brother to death and tells him a few times a day
• She shows Tripp that she loves him in a very "forceful" way ;)
• She asks everyone "How ya doin?" and "Whatcha doin?"

• She could go through about 2 gallons of milk a day
• She doesn't meet a stranger and remembers the connections of people
• She can count 2-9
• She knows her colors
• She knows triangle, circle, heart & star
• She loves chilly willies
• She can pee and poop on the potty
• She loves to get silly bands as a reward for doing this
• She loves to swim
• She runs up and hugs her daddy and yells "Hey Daddy" when he gets home
• This melts my heart!
• She says she "needs" things instead of "wants" things
• She says "I not" and "I can't" WAY too much
• She makes other mothers (who don't have to raise her strong-willed little self) laugh hysterically at play group!
• She knows how to say her blessing and her night time prayer.
