note to self

These are the things I want to remember about right now:

Everywhere we go, without fail, someone compliment's Will's amazing eyes. Someone else uses the word "chunky" to describe his thighs.

Sitting up has been a wonderful shift for the little guy - he feels much happier interacting with the world this way. I get it.

Will's had a mysterious, dry, throaty cough lately. He coughs only in our presence, never alone, and usually when we're busy doing something else. When we mimic the cough back to him, he laughs hysterically. Not sure I'm going to call the pediatrician quite yet.

He likes to feed himself. Puffs, Baby Mum Mums, and Happy Melts are our new best friends.

Bean is his favorite thing in the world. She's the first thing he looks for after waking up from a nap, and my first trick to stop an episode of crying. Bean and a sip of water from a cup. Works every time.

Will thinks tickles are the greatest. So great, he's been known to go by "Ticky Boy." Which is short for "Ticky Ticky Little Ricky," of course.

Mommy and Daddy woke up at 5 a.m. to call and sign Will up for the next session of Aquababies. We waited on hold for an hour, each of us repeatedly dialing in on our cell phones, until Colin finally made it through. Aquababies joins Wiggleworms and Gymboree on Will's resume. We're not going to mention Baby & Me Pilates.

He likes yogurt and avocado best.

We read books daily, and he loves it. The current favorite is "Are you my mother?" Our favorite line is, "You are not my mother. You are a scary snort!"

Bath time with Daddy is special, and so are evening walks through the park. It's been the perfect summer, with our perfect boy.
