So many firsts in the last month! His first vacation which also included his first baseball game and his first time in the ocean; His first fourth of July with an attempt to pick blueberries (not quit ripe yet, we'll try again on Friday); and developmentally he rolled over for the first time tummy to back and then back to tummy, he sucked on a piece of cantaloupe yesterday. Nearly everyday something new.
He's already developed quite a strong personality. He attracts people, and seems to be very happy to meet anyone that will look at him. He does it with his smile. We noticed when we take him out that he smiles at strangers, which then causes them to come up and talk to him. He's also going to be very independent. He wants to be mobile so bad, and he's only 3.5 months old. He's figured out how to skooch across the floor with his knees and his head, he can lean way over out of his bumpo to grab anything and everything within reach. And yesterday he thought he was standing on his own against the arm of the couch and really didn't want his dad to help him. He preferred that dad just pick up the toys as he threw them on the floor.
It's amazing how much we find ourselves smiling and laughing when we are with him. He lights up the room with his smile and his laugh is infectious! We can't help but spend hours stacking blocks so he can kick them over and giggle, or fill up his little pool so he can float and splash until he's a wrinkled raisin.
While life was good before his arrival, now life is VERY good!
