G-Log

I wanted to take a few minutes to make a little list of things Leo does that I think are adorable. Of course we think most everything our babies do is adorable, but these are just glimpse into his little personality that I may not ever get caught on camera or video tape. I just have to keep them stored away in my memory.

• I love how when he sneezes and I say “Bless you!” he looks at me and gets a big grin on his face. Either he thinks it’s funny when he sneezes, or likes my reaction to it.
• I love that he talks loudly even when it’s totally the wrong time (like early in the morning). He’s testing out his volume.
• As annoying as it can get sometimes, I love how fascinated he is by things that open and close (cabinets, doors, drawers, even books). And I also find it amazing that he knows to make sure his fingers don’t get smashed, though I do keep a close eye on him in case he ever forgets.
• I love that he laughs when I brush his teeth. It might make it more difficult, but I’d rather him find it amusing than hate it.
• I love when he pats my shoulder when I’m holding him. I get such a kick out of that. Apparently I pat him more than I realize.
• I love when I’m holding him at night and he’s so tired he can barely keep his head up, but he refuses to give in. He keeps picking it up, but inevitably it flops back against my chest. Sometimes it’s really hard to keep from laughing.
• I love how he lights up when he sees his daddy. I think that’s one of the greatest things ever (aside from him lighting up when he sees me ).

I could go on and on, but this list would be never ending. I’m so blessed to have been given the chance to be a mom, and to watch him grow. I love you, little man.
