I can't believe that my baby boy is so old. In some ways it seems like he's been in our lives forever. He's getting to be such a big boy. He is starting to sit up, but you have to watch him he topples over pretty easy. He isn't scooting as much, as soon as you put him on his tummy he rolls over. He still scoots while he's laying on his back. When he gets mad he hits his right hand on his tummy. It's kind of funny, but that's his signal when's he serious. At night when he's starting to wake up that's how I know that he's ready to eat, other times I can talk to him and pat his belly and he goes back to sleep. He's sleeping much better at night, and takes a morning nap, and an afternoon nap. He doesn't have his teeth yet, we think it should be anytime. He giggles a lot, and can go from being happy to crying in two seconds. His favorite things right now are his daddy book, a story with his dad's voice on it. We listen to it six to eight times a day, always before naps and bedtime, and then just for fun through out the day. He loves his johnny jump up. That is the favorite toy right now. He is a little jumper. While people are holding him he likes to jump in their laps. He thinks that he should be standing up and walking. He likes people to hold him so that he can see everything. We have been staying at Grandpa and Grandma's house while Ben is gone, and he has had a great time getting to know them better. He loves when Justin takes him for walks around the house. Jessi and Jenny have been teaching him how to text, and he sits in their laps with his phone, while they play on their phones. He loves going in his stroller to pick up Grandma from work and walk her home. He loves to see daddy on the computer on skype. When he's fussy I play some of the voice messages on my phone and let him listen to his Daddy talk. He likes that a lot. He has been loving eating vegetables, and loves sitting in his high chair. He still loves bath time. I'm excited to take him swimming some day, I think that he's going to love it. I was a little swimmer baby, and think that Dylan is too. He is a pretty happy boy, and we're so happy to have him in our lives.
