Like His Big Bro

Our little buddy is still not feeling so well, but we will patiently wait for him to get better. Instead of running away, he now walks right toward me when I show him I have a Kleenex. His ears don't seem to be bothering him, but his nose is still constantly running and he coughs a lot throughout he night. He awakes most days super crabby.

He is starting to say a few words and I can't wait until he starts imitating. He says more, hi, bye, mama, dada, heard him say ba for bath last night and we've heard ball a time or two. He understands a lot though and it is only a matter of time before he'll be saying new words daily.

He's started shaking his head no.

He's dancing in place when he gets excited.

He's starting to spin in place while standing. I find this very funny because he gets dizzy quickly. You can spin Tayten for many minutes straight and it has no effect on him. and I am not sure why.

He's willingly giving hugs and kisses. It is too sweet. I love when he hugs his brother and Tayten loves it too.

Yesterday, Terren found our toy cochlear implant and kept bringing it to me and yelling until I put it on his ear. It would fall off, and he'd be at my feet yelling again. Yesterday, much to Tayten's dislike, Terren pulled off Tayten's CI and held it to his head. He knows better, but I guess he couldn't resist the urge yesterday. He really looks up to his big brother.

Terren has been a complete mama's boy for awhile now and I am so ready for him to start liking his Daddy again! He's a very delightful child, but this mama could use a break from the neediness :o)
