The last few months have been the greatest few months ever - He is so darn smart - He says so much know.  He just walks up to me and tells me what he wants now. - He says, Baby, Cookie, Water, Cracker, Moon, Ball, Juice, go go go , cat, dog, Daddy, Auntie and a ton of other things.  Unfortunately like most toddlers he likes TV way too much!!! - He will go in the living room and bring me a video and say "Baby Baby Baby"!  So cute! He loved to pretend to drive in anyone's car.  He grabs your keys goes the the door and says "Go Go Go"-- He loves to wave good-bye to Mike out the window every morning.  He loves to watch the Garbage Trucks go by on Fridays.  - He gives lots of kisses and hugs now. He loves to be drug around on the floor on his big parachute.  Cute boy! - You should come by and hang out with him!!! :) -

So sorry it was taken me so long to get this monthly letter out!  As you might be able to tell by the lack of photos - we had a crazy/rough couple of weeks.  I will try and start taking more.   -
