Father's Day 2012

Today is Father's Day.  Your Daddy's second one now!   I thought this picture was fitting for the occasion.  This picture is the first moment your Daddy had with you. You reached out and latched on to his finger. So precious.

At this exact moment you are sitting on his lap at our piano playing and babbling along to your beautiful "music."  Your Daddy keeps turning around to me saying, "Did you hear that?!  That is ALL him!"  He thinks you are a little prodigy.  I do agree, it does sound pretty impressive for a baby!

Your Daddy is proud to call you his son. 

We love you, Little Buddy!

Little Gentleman

I just wanted to stop in and tell you what a sweet boy you are becoming.  Although your words are still minimal, you said three things the other day that make a mommy beam with pride and delight. 
"Hello."
"Thank you."
and, "Please!"

(They sounded more like, "Uh-loh," "dah-ooo" and "eeees!")

PRECIOUS!  Simply precious.

I handed you a toy phone and you answered it. 
I gave you some water and you thanked me. 
And then while teaching you to say "Please" for things you want, you went through your entire vocabulary of baba, gaga, dat, mama, dada, looking for something that matched the sound I was making.  Finally you matched the sound and said "Eeeees!" with a big grin showing me your two teeth!  It took you awhile to find that sound again, but you said it once more when you wanted me to turn the bath water back on. 
You are a funny, cute, and entertaining little guy.  And now you are a sweet little gentleman with manners too!

I love you, Bentley!
