Just to balance today's previous bad karma post I thought I'd post something happier.
We saw little Baby Scout at my 12 week ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. Cute as a button that little Baby Scout is. S/he gave us a perfect profile view and we saw a strong beating heart.
Cub Scout continues to fascinate me every day with how fast he learns and grows. He's now putting together three-word sentences. His favourites so far are "bless you Daddy" when Mr. Scout sneezes and "I did it!" when he accomplishes something all on his own like stacking blocks.
Cub Scout loves crackers and is always asking for "mow cwacka" - that's his toddler speak for "more crackers." Some other favourite words of mine that he says are "dubba dubba dubba" for the letter "W", "owside" for outside, "help please" when he needs assistance getting a toy out of the box or putting on a jacket, "yogo" for yogurt, "macanoni" for macaroni. I never want to forget his toddler-speak, it's so darn cute.
He's a challenge to say the least. He's at that toddler stage where he's testing limits and asserting his independence. Some days (many days!) it seems there is more crying/tantrums in our house than not. But then when you ask him for a hug and he runs and dives into your arms you forget every tantrum in an instant. The power of love :)
I can't believe Cub Scout is approaching two years old. It seems like just yesterday he was barrelling out of me ready to take on the world. He's got personality this child of mine. He loves to read. Loves trains. Loves the riding cars outside. Has a smile that lights up his face and a serious frown just to balance things out - which he gets from Daddy :) He's got a wild head of hair that takes a lot of product to control, but it's just too adorable to cut. He's happy and engaging and vocal and full of energy and moody and cuddly and a million other things all rolled into one. He is the BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
