My Little Hazy Pants,

You have been especially cute this month!  You’re so good at mimicking us and surprise us with how smart you are all the time.  In the past few weeks you’ve started to scoot around and you’re getting pretty quick.  You LOVE to walk around holding our hands and I spend a good portion of my day walking all over the house with you exploring new things.  Never gets old……….. You’re a scaredy pants though and won’t take a step if you’re not holding on with both hands. You’ve become quite the momma’s boy and cry when I leave the room- even if it is just to the kitchen from the living room.  This week you have been really fond of daddy too and just give him loves all day long.  You learned to sit up on your own and started pulling yourself up onto things.  You were sleeping so well and were so easy to put down and now all of the sudden you decided you hate your crib.  Lately, right when I put you in, you sit right up.  You are constantly standing up and trying to get out.  We try to let you cry it out but more often than not we’ve been giving up after about 2 a.m. and let you sleep with us… You don’t make a peep when you get to sleep with mommy and daddy…  Soo spoiled…  We gotta get that under control this month!  We have started to do some signing with you.  Usually, when I try to get you to do “more” you just clap your hands haha. (It’s a similar sign) You’re so smart though and I’m sure you’ll get it down soon.  Some things you like to imitate are coughing, laughing, (funniest little fake laugh) clapping, shaking your head no, putting your hands up when we say “rock-n-roll,” yelling, and sometimes will copy sounds we make or say “dada” or “momma.”  You don’t like baby food anymore and just want whatever we’re eating.  You’ll eat pretty much anything besides baby food though, so I just puree whatever we are having most of the time.  You don’t like your high chair and want to sit at the table in your other little chair with your dad and I.  Such a big boy :) You’ve always been such a happy little guy and continue to brighten our home with your sweet spirit. We love you Hayes.

Love, Momma
