Dear Rusty,
I can't believe how fast you are growing up. Seriously, too fast. You are crawling at rocket speed all over the house and have recently started pulling yourself up on toys and furniture. What's really scary is that you are strong enough to just stand up without any support, but you are still pretty unbalanced so you just sit back down really quick. I was folding laundry the other day and I had to piles of clothes next to me. You crawled up, put a shirt in each hand, and stood up. Immediately, you looked down and saw the shirts came up with you and panicked! I've never seen you plop down so fast.
You eat like a horse. You prefer solid food over your bottle. You love Cheerios and Ritz crackers. You figured out how to hold your bottle on your own, but are still trying to master the sippy cup.
I love to talk to you these days. You have the worlds cutest toothy, sideways grin. You are always smiling. Everywhere we go you are making friends. People coo at you and talk to you. As soon as they pay attention to you your arms go out and you want them to pick you up. I've let some of the boys teachers hold you and some ladies at church but I'm not there with strangers yet.
We've been taking you to the pool more. You really love the hot tub. Last night you were so incredibly relaxed. Then you got hungry. You started kissing me like crazy. I thought you were just being really loving until my cheek got bit. I yelled in pain and you gave me one of your toothy grins. How could I be mad?
I think the best part of my day right now is watching you take in the world with your big blue eyes. They are always so big and excited. You want to know how to do everything and you want to do it right now!
I love you. I'll stop asking you to slow down because I know it's not going to happen. Thanks for being such a bright spot in my days.
XOXO
Mommy
