Nothing Much...

There isn't much to blog about, and I haven't taken many pictures recently. I guess I will just give you a Donovan update, I know the Grandma's always like to hear about him.

Donovan really has a soft spot in his heart for Jordan's girlfriend, Kolay. He LOVES her! I think this might be his first crush and I'm not sure how I feel about that! It usually takes some prodding to get him to hug people that come over, but when Kolay walks through the door he runs straight to her. He's such a stinkin cutie. She came over on Saturday so we could do some baking and cookie decorating. Donovan didn't take a nap that day because he wanted to be able to see her. While we watched the Super Bowl, he had to take his plate of food and sit by her on the floor. And of course he gets really sad whenever she leaves. Anyway, enough about his new found love. Donovan has been talking up a storm! He loves to tell me everything that he's doing and if he's watching a show and he thinks something is funny he will come up and tell me what they did or said to make sure I didn't miss it. He also likes to read to his stuffed animals and makes sure they know what they are looking at, "look Wocky (Rocky), a fwog (frog)". He always leans toward them and looks them in the eye to make sure they see what he's trying to show them. The first time he did it I was grinning from ear to ear, that was all I could do, it was so cute I wanted to cry but that would have been silly so I just grinned like an idiot. He is turning into such a snuggler, unless he is busy, then you can forget about it! But after his naps, he has to snuggle with mommy for at least 10 minutes. He walks out of his room, finds me, gives me a grin and climbs on my lap. I love it. It's probably my most favorite time of the day, it makes being a mommy and staying home with him all worth it. No matter what I'm doing, I just stop and we have our quiet special time where he likes to have his back scratched and get kisses that he doesn't even wipe off. Did I mention that he is a tease and likes to wipe off our kisses? One day he gave me a kiss and wiped it off my face, he doesn't give kisses very freely anymore so I like to keep them!! I have turned him into a bit of a wimp, I need to stop making a big deal of little bumps and bruises unless he is genuinely upset...I just like that he needs his mommy when he gets hurt so I go ahead and give him all the hugs and kisses he wants. He used to always ask for "egg a toast" in the mornings but now it's "ceyo (cereal)"...I guess I should stop getting the sugary good stuff, but that's what Brad and I like too! He's starting to get particular about what he wears so I've been giving him 2 or 3 choices when he picks out his pajamas or the shirt he's going to wear for the day. I need to go through his stuff because he always tries to pick things that are too small for him before I have a chance to give him his options. Then we have the "that doesn't fit, it's too small" conversation, so when I pick something out he says, "it fits?" and I assure him it does. It hasn't become a power struggle yet, but his true stubborn colors are starting to shine through and I have no doubt we will have plenty of those.

This is long enough and I'm tired.
