The Baby

You can't really see it in the picture but we spent about 15 minutes today blowing the "spit bubbles" pictured above.


Just sitting up playing with my toys like a big boy!


It has come to my attention that I call Abram "the baby" or "baby" quite a lot. That really doesn't seem fair to him because he definitely has his own personality and is not just a baby.

Here are some of the things I have learned about my son:

-He loves when people are silly and will laugh out loud to silliness

-He will "talk" to you, especially after daycare when he is on the changing table. He expects empathy and understanding during these talks.

-He is active and alert to new things

-He is not a cuddler. I realized this when he was sick over the last two weeks. At one point he laid his head on my shoulder while I was holding him. It was then that I realized that he hasn't really ever done that. I cherished those two minutes with his head on my shoulder.

-He is STUBBORN. I think Barry and I could both win awards with our stubbornness so I don't know why Abram being stubborn was a surprise to me!

Abram amazes me every day with the new things that he learns. I am going to try very hard to help him develop his identity and stop using the generic term "baby".

Little Abram is sure cute blowing those bubbles. I was really amazed to see the difference in him that just two weeks makes. I simply love it when he laughs out loud!Isn't it amazing seeing Abram with his own unique personality but also having some of the "us" (mom and dad)traits. You are both great parents and I enjoy watching you interact with him.
