This boy is my favorite thing on earth!  He is ALWAYS happy.  He is totally self contained when I need him to be. He gets hauled around in the car all day every day without complaint.  He loves his mother like crazy.  He has a caveman’s vocabulary.  He actually knows tons of words (car, hot, more, hi, bye, mama, dada, Bella, shoes, choo choo, ball, num num, day day, ruff ruff, cow, dog, moo, duck, etc.), but a lot of them kind of sound the same.  (Notice there is no “please” or “thank you” in the mix.  And I have tried like crazy — and so has my mom and Bella.  It’s a no go.)  He adores being read to.  He can point to everyone in the room, or whatever body part we ask him to.  He is OBSESSED with riding bikes, scooters and cars all over the kitchen while we are in there.  He LOVES his siblings, and tries to copy everything they do.  He loves to play outside and has a fit when I bring him inside.  He is a great sleeper, and always has been.  He hates to sleep without his “Day Day” (Navy’s made up word fro blanket), but will when it is elsewhere.  He wants food the second he wakes up, and gets it usually.  He is getting his final four teeth (the vampires) and has been sad, but a major trooper.
I love this boy with everything in me.  It is literally Dash who made me having another baby BOY in my tummy okay.
He will be the best big brother, because he already is the best little brother.
