things i'm loving lately about christian

How he says his long, drawn-out "hi" to me several times a day (he can also make anything into a phone and say "hi" to that too).

How he now tells to "sit" next to him and pats the couch or chair while doing it (it's kind of becoming an order).

How he surprised us at 5:45am the other day by coming into our room to snuggle, overthrowing our plan to exercise before work (that's what we get for hitting the snooze button repeatedly -- but who can resist?).

How he insists on getting out the two-pound weights and moves around on the yoga mat when he sees us working out.

How he still points to our neighbor's door each time we arrive home because he misses her Christmas wreath with the teddy bears on it.

How he can use the Wii remote to select options on the TV better than his own mother.

How he still does the "happy dance" whenever we're getting him a cup of milk.

How cutely he says "shoe" and "two" these days.

How he still says "mmm-mmm" when he likes what he's eating (he's the loudest eater!).

How he says "no" even when he means yes (okay, I don't always love this but he says it so sweetly most of the time that sometimes it cracks me up!).

How he repeatedly says, "la luna" when he sees the moon.

How he still likes to blow kisses to everyone, and he smacks his lips while doing it.

How he makes ordinary things seem exciting by say "wow" and "woo" (such as when he sees the street lamps outside or an airplane fly by).

How he cannot resist sniffing a flower, no matter how many times I ask him to get off the table (or how many thorns the rose bush sticks in him).

How he uses "mama" to alert me to whatever he finds interesting at the moment.

How he LOVES to brush his teeth, or at least eat the toothpaste.

How he enjoys petting my hair as if I am his pet.

How he insists on climbing into my lap while I type on the computer.
