Hi BooBoo!

This week hasn’t been my favorite, but you my girl, are most definitely my favorite! You just roll with the punches and go along with whatever is thrown at you. You’re my favorite person to spend the day with. You’re my favorite person when the days consist of PJs at home until noon (or later!) You’re my favorite when we’re on-the-go and the days are nonstop. You’re my favorite when you’ve gotten me up too many times the night before and I stumble into your room and yawn all day.

This month has provided your biggest leaps. Your eyes sparkle in a new way and your smile shines a little brighter. When you wake up from naps, you often lay in your crib just talking and playing. When Daddy got home yesterday, you were so excited to see him. This huge grin spread across your face, and as we stood in the doorway, you would not take your eyes off him.

You’re loving your exersaucer (I think that’s what it’s called?) and your jumparoo. You’ve gotten so much better at grabbing things with your hands and I have a feeling you’ll be sitting on your own before long.

Your drool is still intense and you have a whopping 0 teeth to show for it. You’re always rubbing your gums with tongue and lips but those teeth just won’t make an appearance. You always have a bib on, so when you’re laying on your back, you love to pull the bib over your face and play peek-a-boo.

The weather has started warming up and those rolls poke out of your short-sleeves. It makes me excited for summer because I’ll get to see those chunky thighs in a bathing suit. A few nights ago, Daddy took you out to run some errands and you came home with sunglasses. Come on, pool and lake season!

Your laughter is infectious. We’ve successfully captured in on video a few times and that’s no easy feat! The things that make you laugh one minute are unsuccessful the next minute. Your dad loves to tickle your back and watch you squirm.
