N.

He loves for me to sing songs to him--he's very particular though--if it's not a song he wants, he shakes his head no, then shows me a motion for the song he wants.  His favorite song right now is "the itsy, bitsy spider"--he can even do all the motions for it.

His still loves giving kisses.  After we say any prayer during the day, he has to give everyone a kiss--even my family when they were here.  He is also really good about folding his arms.  He crosses them so tight, and will fold them during the whole prayer.  He also always folds his arms when he gets in the stroller, so we can have family prayer before we leave in the morning.  He is my little reminder.

He loves listening to music.  Whenever he wants to listen to music, he starts bouncing up and down.  My phone has a few songs on it, so he loves to hold it up to his ear and dance around the house. 

Every night, when I put him to bed, I first lay him down, then turn on his white noise, close his curtains, then turn off his light.  Then I typically wave good-night.  Some nights, I just want to give him one more kiss or hug, but he adamantly starts waving for me to leave(creature of habit).  I have to admit though, he's extremely easy to put down to sleep. 

He loves going to the park.  We had a few nice days of 70 degrees in which we didn't have to wear a jacket for the 1st time in months.  I was thinking it's starting to warm up, but I guess I'm thinking of Texas.  Apparently the 70 degree weather was a just a fluke, and the average highs through May don't get above the 60s.  Although 60s and sunny is heavenly, too.  Today is rainy and 50s.  Anyways, N. loves climbing up the slides at the park, and running around screaming with joy like a maniac.  

Some new words include: choo-choo, juice, beep-beep, bear, bird, boo, "tion" for lotion, "sh" for fish, shoe, and "o" for sock.  

He's growing up...turning into a little boy...
