He's getting big!

Mr. independent likes to come home from school and go immediately outside and play in the backyard. Apparently being inside is for losers - He only likes to be outside these days and gets quite upset when its time call it a night. He loves blowing bubbles, putting spoons in bowls - and anywhere else in the house he can find to put them - taking on and off lids, carrying bags around the house and saying 'bye bye' like he's leaving the house, and is amazing us everyday as he tries to repeat all our words. And, his hair is getting quite long - and no, im not planning on cutting it... yet. He has 3 new teeth and a few more making their way. He loves doing things on his own - walking and not being carried - using his own spoon - and has just, for the first time in his life, started hating his bath. He's turning into a real BOY. Stinky and always ready for an adventure. One funny thing about the bath - when we can get him to take one - is that when the water is draining out he immediately lays down in the water (I know, it scared the life out of me the first time he did it)... And we realized it because he likes to listen to the water drain down - while his ear is under. He will lay on his back and listen if both ears can be under and as soon as the water is too low, he slips onto his side and listens with the one ear. He really amazes me with the things he notices and the kinds of things he likes... almost everyday I find myself saying -can you believe he just did that? Curious little boy. We love him.
