The rundown on the little guy.
1. He loves to eat but HATES veggies. Thought we had that worked out with a little dipping sauce for the veggies, i.e. ranch, ketchup, but turns out that the veggies then only serve a purpose....dip stick. Dip the veggie, suck the veggie, dip the veggie, suck the veggie....discard the veggie.
2. Little man loves to dance, and he can really bust a move.
3. He loves his sister. Loves, loves, loves. She is the first one he asks for in the morning. He often will just hug her or plant a kiss on her for no reason.
4. He will run through the names of people/pets he knows over and over (Mama, Dada, Gigi, TC, Tilla, BB, Papa, Nana, Sue-Sue).
5. He loves playing with his cars and will pack them around and make car sounds, which is just adorable.
6. He loves daycare. So much so that often he will throw a horrible tantrum when I pick him up.
7. The first song, or part of a song, he learned and does over and over and over is the "Waaaa waaa" part in Wheels on the Bus, i.e. "The babies on the bus go...waaa waaa waaa".
8. He loves books and will pack them around and ask whoever gets in his way "Up, up?"
9. He has an adorable laugh.
10. His hair is very tight curls on the top, whispy whisps on the sides, and a fuzzy velcro patch on the back.
11. Every night I slather him with lotion and shea butter and oil up his hair.
12. He loves to put on other people's shoes, boots, slippers and march around...or just haul them around. He has what I would call a shoe fetish.
13. He has been banned from the kitchen for safety issues, i.e. the hanging on the leg at the stove while mama is cooking, the pulling open the stove, rummaging under the sink, putting things in and out of the garbage, but, he still manages to sneak in and grab the dish towels hanging on the oven door.
14. Yes, you guessed it, he loves dish towels. Loves them. He will pack them around, stuff them in things, dip them in the dogs water bowl. He especially loves to spread them out on the floor and lay on top of them. Super sweet. He always says "nigh nigh".
15. He has an awesome safari screen that hangs on the wall and at night when he goes to bed we turn it on and he can watch the lit up safari from his crib. He asks for "animals" every night.
16. He has the absolute chubbiest little legs ever. We call them chubbers and he giggles when we grab them.
17. When I ask him for a kiss he runs away giggling and I always catch him and plant one on his sweet little lips.
18. He loves taking a bath and will scream bloody murder when I take him out.
19. He loves to order Attila around and is always telling him "Noooo" or "Down". He even runs over and holds the dog door open for Attila to go out.
20. He wakes up around 6:30ish, but is happy to sing and play in his crib until I get him up at 7:30ish.
He is showing such a sweet personality. He is all boy. He is sooooo incredibly adorable. So happy he is our little man.
The photo is one I found on our agency's shared album online about a week ago. Had never seen it before then. It was taken just days before we arrived to bring him home.
