Already?

We aren't sure how, but the last 365 and a fourth days went from this:

  To this!

Yes folks, a year has already come and gone. No one knows just how it happens so fast, but it does. One night you're up all night with a crying teeny tiny one and it seems like the next day he's pushing a car as he walks behind it. This little dude makes everyone in our house happy. He laughs really hard when M and K act like hooligans, which is basically every day! He loves all food and would be so happy to eat all day. He adored his bottle so when it was time to switch to a sippy cup, he declared mutiny and wouldn't drink milk for at least two full days. We tried to trick him by warming the milk up before we put it in the sippy cup, but he wouldn't have it. Finally, he gave in and no longer wants a bottle. He. Loves. Cars! Just like K! If you put a wide array of toys in front of him, he will pick the cars every time. He crawls around while he pushes them all over the house. He doesn't like to be cuddled. The other day he was crawling on the kitchen floor. His hand slipped and he face planted onto the tile. When I picked him up to love him, he pushed against me. He just wanted to be held while he cried, but he wouldn't look at me or let me love on him at all. He says, hi and waves, well it looks more like his arm in broken and he flops it around, but he does it while he says hi so we're saying it's a wave. He loves to say whoa! Especially when M and K are being loud and crazy. He'll look at you and with big eyes he whispers/forces the W sound out while he says "whoa!" It's awesome! He just started saying uh oh and will say it about a million times a day. In the car he just says it over and over. He does NOT like the blow dryer or the vacuum. Both of those send him into instant tears. We're not talking a few tears. No, he cries like the lid on the solid wood toy box just came down and smashed his finger. It doesn't matter if you are vacuuming or blow drying your hair in another room, he will start crying and trying to crawl away from the sound. He loves to wake M and K up in the morning. I usually get him first and then take him into their rooms. He stands next to their beds and hits their pillows or mattresses all the while jabbering away that it's time to wake up. He loves to be outside and when we go to the park or go on a walk, if he gets a snack whilst being outside it's like the best day of his life! He loves primary songs and at church on Sunday's when he's totally exhausted and ready for a nap and we still have 2 1/2 hours to go until church is over, if we go into the primary room where he can hear the kids singing, he'll calm down and just listen. He is such a chilled out happy little boy. We all love him so much and are so thankful that he came to our family!
