Even Superheros Get Sick

I got Van this super-cute onsie at Target when we were in Utah for Education Week. (Can I just say that I love Traget?!)It looks like a superhero & it says "Captain Adorable" & I love it! I fly him around the house & I call him Captain Adorable in a deep, to-the-rescue voice... yeah, I'm a nerd!
After we got home, he got his first bit of illness. I don't know what it was, but it was so sad to see him so miserable & there was nothing I could do. He wanted his binky all the time, but his nose was so stuffy that he couldn't breath with it in. It would fall out & he would cry till I gave it to him again. A vicious cycle & a long few weeks.

Lessons in Creeping & Crawling

My oh my! Van has been a wiggly & extreamly active baby since birth. I have sometimes joked that I gave birth to a toddler, rather than a sweet, snugly baby! He has been trying to 'walk' by holding onto our hands and walking across the living room since he was about a month old & now he's discovered that he doesn't need our help anymore because he is teaching himself to crawl. As of this post, he can still only scoot around, but I wanted to share a few pictures of him practicing his technique!

Like His Mommy!

Much to my absolute pleasure, Van loves books. Much to my dismay, he mostly just loves to eat them. I have hope that one day, that will change & he will learn to love what books have to offer him!
