Scotty Update part 2 - Likes

He is so funny and loves to laugh. He has a sense of humor and will crack up and things he thinks are funny. He’s very ticklish, especially his thighs and buns.

He loves being outside and exploring. 

Eating rocks is one of his guilty pleasures (he looks guilty if we catch him!).

We make tunnels out of cardboard boxes for him to crawl through. He will spend so much time crawling back and forth through the tunnel. Our latest one even includes a starry roof from Christmas lights poked through the top. He really likes this one and will take his snacks and toys and go sit in it.

He raspberries on our tummies. 

He gives kisses on my cheek and then if he’s silly, he’ll raspberry on my cheek.

He can make a mess 10 times bigger than him in the blink of an eye.

He always wants to be doing what you’re doing.

He likes brushing his teeth (with your toothbrush not his) and can even spit into the sink.

He likes when I read to him but only as long as he can flip the pages.

He loves taking a bath. He can just about get in without our help, oh dear...

He’s a flirt. He’s just adorable and his cute looks got him a rocking horse purchased for him by an employee named Lisa at CVS.

 

He loves Ian (my boss) and Cami (the dog).

He loves playing with his cousins and they are CraZY about him.

Elysse is his favorite aunt.

He can crawl up my parents’ stairs in no time flat. He really is fast!

Every time we show him a picture of Grandpa Brinton he gets so excited, says “grandpa” and gives him kisses. It’s adorable. He does it without fail.

He is such a ham. When he gets really excited he starts snorting. He has the biggest smile and his eyes get so squinty he looks chinese ;) He sure smiles alot. 

And the best part? He loves me. He gets so excited to see me and loves when I hold him. I love holding him to my chest as he naps. I take such joy in each new thing he learns and discovers. Half of me wishes he could stay little forever but the rest of me knows the joy that comes in progressing. We have new adventures each day. Some are not so good but the rest are amazing. I love being a mommy and I am blessed to have the most amazing little boy as my son. I am so crazy about this little boy. I pray for him harder than I think I have ever prayed for anyone and definitely more frequently. He is God’s gift to us and I don’t want to mess up! I only want the best for him and to be able to provide him with the best future. I want him to grow up to be the kind of man his grandpa was and his daddy is. He’s an amazing baby and I can’t imagine our life without him. I love him so much! He is my pride and joy and my sunshine.
