I kind of combined Stevie's birthday into my catch up post last time but I wanted to write down some things about him right now for me to remember!

He is the cutest, sweetest,  and happiest kid.
He has the cheesiest grin and I looove it.
I love his big brown eyes and his almost there blonde hair.
He laughs really easily especially when he is being tickled.
 He loves to dance whenever there is music or someone else is dancing.
 He LOVES animals. He instantly waves at them and runs towards them. He says "Ca" for cat. And "Pup-pup" for puppy.
He has a little tiger (one that John gave me when we were dating, I love that we can pass on the sentiment :) ) He instantly just hugs it and it helps him go to sleep and stay in bed for quite a while after waking up.
He climbs on everything, and with that comes bonks and bruises here and there but he always lets me cuddle him til he stops crying which I love.
He hates having to hold still and is a quick little guy at getting away.
We recently learned how to get him to sleep at church and that makes the whole day less stressful! (Although, then I stress about keeping him asleep...but ya know.)
He hates getting his diaper changed and cries the whole time unless he's being distracted or has a bottle.
 He can hear you get food from a mile away and will run in and say "Eh? Eh?"  with the most sincere face and will open and close his hands til he gets a taste.
He is constantly doing something that makes me just wanna squeeze him so tight cause he's so cute! He loves his daddy and wants to do whatever he's doing or Ty is doing.
He loves bath time and playing in the bath with Ty.
He loves cars and does his best to drive them back and forth and say "vroom."
He is of course obsessed with balls. He can't get enough and if there is a hoop short enough for him he can make it right in every time!
He's obsessed with being outside and just bawls when the front door closes without him.
He loves other kids and gets so excited when he sees one.
He has ALL of his teeth besides his 2 year molars which he won't even get for several more months. I can't believe he got them all so fast! I'm looking forward to the next few teething-less months :)
He loves wearing hats and shoes and headbands that he finds in my bathroom drawer.
He loves talking on the phone. "Ho?" (Hello?)
He recently started doing peek-a-boo. He puts his hands on his cheeks and says "pee-bo."
He will finally willingly give kisses! It is the CUTEST. my favorite for sure.
He's just the best and I can't imagine our family without him!

 

now for a picture overload :)
