Huston - June 2012

Huston, you have been keeping busy this summer with baseball games, swimming and going to the park.  You saw an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba about "adventure" and now are always asking to go on adventures.  Luckily for us, pretty much anything is an adventure.  You are becoming less of a momma's boy lately and get so excited to do things with your Dad.  Each time Dad takes the trash out, you have to go too.  You will go even if you aren't quite, um, dressed for it.  You also like to "stretch" with Dad...although it usually consists more of you jumping on him rather than you actually working out too.

You do still like to do some things with Momma too....especially the cuddly stuff.  Lately you have been very verbal with your "love yous" and you will come running up and say "Momma I need to cuddle you".  Somehow you figured out how sweet it is to kiss my cheek too.  You do melt your Momma's heart.

You have also gotten really good at playing on our iPhones, but are a little too demanding so I think it may have to slow down some.  We have searched your favorite things on YouTube and you ended up stumbling across a animated version of Beastie Boys singing "Fight for Your Right".  You LOVE it.  You always ask to watch "Kick it".  We also searched the new California Adventure and Disneyland so you could get a feel for it.......drumroll........because we are taking you there for your birthday this year!  You watch the trailers so often I think you will be showing us around there.  You totally understand you are going and tell us all of the time who you will see there and even told the lady who cut your hair that you were going.

Some of your favorite things to talk about lately are things that match (clothes, colors, toys), if you see footprints, stinky socks (anytime you see any socks), and anytime you see skin you say (naked boy!!).  You also want to know everyone/everything's name..."What him name?"  When you leave me you will say "See you lady".  And you impatiently say "C'monnnnnnn" anytime something takes too long.  Your manners are very proper too.  Daddy will ask you if you want him to throw you in the pool, you will say "No thank you".  I'll ask if I should spank you, you will say "No thank you".  It's very cute.  You also like to sing, especially Twinkle Twinkle lately.

Another fun thing is that we got to see Amy, Ella and Aiden, our old neighbors from Ohio, when they were in town visiting family.  I wasn't sure how much you would remember each other, but you picked right up where you left off and were playing in no time.

One of your very favorite things this month was helping me make breakfast for Daddy on Father's Day.  I had no idea you would like to cook so much!  I think you will be my partner in the kitchen from now on.

Huston you are growing up so fast and sometimes I look at you and can't believe how big you are.  You are such a smart and sweet boy and every day we become more proud of you.  I can't wait to see what kind of big brother you are going to be.  We love you so much!
