Big Bad Wolf

Reeve

You huff and you puff and you blow houses down. I think this is only because you want an invite inside. By nature you are gentle but you love to play rough and I do not think you realize your own strength.You are changing so rapidly. I am coming to terms with this fact but I want so desperately to document all the funny things you do and (try) to say. I'm terrified I will forget, as though my forgetfulness might indicate this was  just a dream and I was never really lucky enough to experience you, front row and center. It is silly, but mum's can be very silly sometimes.

Your vocabulary has exploded and you fill in the gaps with jibber jabber and your own brand of sign language. The yelling is becoming less frequent, an indication that you are, at long last, being heard. I'm sorry it took so long sweetheart! One of my favourite things you do is to tell me you are hungry. You do this by rubbing your hand on your tummy, licking your lips and making a sounds that resembles the satisfaction of a well cooked meal "mmmmmmmm mmmmmmm". It is so very endearing! Your favourite food is toast. 

You are still a bottle fiend! It is your greatest pacifier.

You love Toy Story and have a Buzz Lightyear action figure that you play with everyday. You ask to watch "Buzz" every morning. You don't seem to mind which of the trilogy it is. You attempt to yodel like Jessie. It is my next favourite thing you do at the moment. You close your eyes tight, pout your lips, and give as little "ooh hoo". We have flimed it many times. Late at night, long after you have fallen asleep, I find myself watching and laughing. 

You are an endless source of joy and mess! A force to be reckoned with if your space or feeling are in jeapordy. You defend your family with big brother mentality and I look forward to watching you grow into a man, who knows how to love without limits!

I love you so very deeply!
