This little guy is constant entertainment. He could not be any cuter or funnier. Everything he says and does is so animated. He even whines in a way that just makes me laugh (most of the time). Lately he has been very sweet and polite. He says "please" and "thank you" and "you're welcome" to everything. For example, after swim lessons last week he got out of the pool, ran up to me, hugged me and said with the biggest smile "thanks for letting me take swim lessons Mom!" I almost died.

He also has been into being a "gentleman" or "gentally" as he calls it. He holds the door for me wherever we go and when I lay down to rest or nap, he likes to lay beside me and have me sleep with his arm underneath my neck. Then he pats me or strokes my face and tells me he loves me. It's very sweet.

He is growing up so fast. He still has a bit of a lisp and chubby cheeks and hands but other than that, there is almost no trace of baby left in him. If I wasn't having another boy I think I would cry everyday that my baby was gone.
