Chris, your Papa, is so very good with you. He is playful, silly, he is the best at making you laugh. He is also stern and good at enforcing rules, where I might give in, he stands firm. You respond very well to him and have learned that you can get away with different things depending on who is watching you. So for your Papa you take naps without a fuss and will go to sleep in 2 minutes, where as for me you cry and squirm and I end up sitting on the floor holding your hand through the bars on the crib till you fall asleep, which takes about 30 minutes.
He may let you play with power cords (unpluged ones) and eat cookie dough, or push all the buttons on the electronic devices (the TV now makes a high pitched noise), but you are having a great time and learning to explore your world. He loves you very much and truly has wanted you for so many years!
What has surprised me the most about watching Chris and you, is how much he focuses on teaching you. He is very excited for the time when you can talk with us and vocalize what you want. I think that because of this year that the two of you have been together, you will grow up with a closeness to your Papa that maybe will help the two of you work through the times when you butt heads and have disagreements.
Yesterday was the first warm day of the season. I came home to find fresh dirt in the yard scattered with a wheel barrel, shovels and holes. You and your Papa spent the afternoon in the yard, doing "manly things". You played in the dirt, chased the dog and took rides in the wheel barrel! You are getting go good at walking and enjoy being outdoors and exploring on your own. I know when you get just alittle older I will really have my hands full with my wonderful, wild, all boy, little Chan-man!
You learn so quickly and I love watching you and seeing the joy you get when you have found something new!
