He's a lover

I can't explain how much I love this boy! He's in constant motion, and requires far more energy than I have, but he's a joy to be with every day. He is affectionate, smart, compassionate, and SO funny!

 

He has matured in some very helpful ways, and I enjoy watching him experiment with his independence, but I love that he's still so little in so many ways. He's been asking lately if he's a big kid or a little kid. I usually explain that when he's older he'll be a big kid, to which he replies, "Yeah, I'm not old. I'm new!" He melts my heart :)
