Guard is such an amazing baby. I know that every parent thinks that about every child, but Guard is the most amazing little thing to me. I love to be with him. He makes me happy. He makes me smile. He makes me want to be a better mom.
(Now that he is crawling at full speed, it is so difficult to get good pictures of him. We also had some funny light coming in through the window, so these picture are not the best.) The things that Guard loves right now:
*the vacuum. He follows it around and loves to climb up on it while it is running. He is so obsessed with it that someone has to be holding him while someone else vacuums.
*his puppy. Guard loves Coal - completely. They have so much fun together. Guard will get one of Coal's balls and tease her with it. Guard will hold it, chew on it, hide it behind his back and laugh. And luckily, for Guard, Coal puts up with it. In fact, she is so patient with Guard. They are really cute together.
*his baths. He is a splasher. He kicks and flails his arms and creates waves. His favorite toy is a cup that he pours water out of - over and over.
*chocolate. He must be a Fowler.
Things that Guard dislikes:
*HIS BOTTLE. I know I sound like a broken record about his bottle, but it has been such a battle. A bottle battle. He's cried, I've cried. We will both be so happy when we are done with this nonsense. He really likes water and will drink from a straw, so he is ready to move on. We both are ready to move on - soon.
(I love those blue eyes! They still catch attention everywhere we go.)Do you see those teeth? Yep, teeth this month. He hasn't been too thrilled about it, but he has weathered it well. Two on the bottom and one on the top - on the side, a fang.
He is crawling everywhere - everywhere! He still really likes to be held, especially my Mom, but he is enjoying his independence. He started pulling himself up to things a few days after he starting crawling. His favorite thing to get into is Coal's water and food and the toilet.
He is so curious and loves to learn new things. What an amazing little boy!
