this boy,

he loves pumpkins, even though
he calls them apples. (we are working on that.)
he says "hello" to almost everyone, with a crooked wrist wave and
he charms all the sweet old ladies and gentlemen at the grocery store.
he's become quite the lover boy all of a sudden.
he's so very affectionate. i love the way
he hugs my neck whenever i hold him. i feel like
he's beginning to show that
he loves me back.
he surprises me every day with new words.
he says "Watz!" for water and "Monk/Minnow" for milk.
he has a fetish with shoes, cars, and balls.
he hates eating vegetables.
he loves elmo and i am regretting the sesame street intro.
he sometimes makes friends at the park.
he would spend his whole life in the bathtub if he could.
