laughing with mommy, originally uploaded by mslaura.

Man, Adrian is INSANELY cute. I can't stop eating him up. I kiss his cheeks and nibble his belly and snack on his chubby thighs all day long. When I'm not sniffing his head, that is.

Yeah, this is a good age. He's so fired up to be alive. Everything is exciting. All of a sudden he can sit up, grab things with his hands, interact with people. Plus he's getting some teeth.

It's smiles, smiles, smiles all day long. Today there was some actual laughing, along with some lightly supported sitting all by himself, which he found quite thrilling. He sat with a Boppy around his butt, drooling and smiling and biting his fingers in pure ecstasy.

I'm drowning in cuteness. Julian is pretty darned cute too these days. He is signed up for swim classes this summer, and will start his new preschool at the end of June.

Yesterday he was writing letters of the alphabet on a piece of paper while eating breakfast. He doesn't know many, but he knows a few. He showed me how he could draw a "big T". Then he drew a smaller T and said proudly, "That is a little T...for Baby Brother!"

Very generous with his letters indeed. And we all got a letter "J". One each for Mommy, Daddy, Baby Brother, Doggie and Julian. Sometimes the tail of the J went one way, sometimes the other way, but it's the thought that counts.
