Merry Christmas!! I've been slacking on our blog and I thought no one had noticed, but my mom complained while were visiting her in Florida that it's been awhile since I updated, so this is for her-and anyone else who cares. Russell is quickly approaching 8 months (WHAT?) and is so great. The word that's popping into my head to describe him is delightful. He has always been a happy baby but as he gets older he has become more silly and smiley and fun to be around. The other day Ricardo took him shopping while I slept off the night shift and when he saw me when they came home he started hyperventilating with joy and waving his arms. I love those kinds of moments and I feel very lucky that they happen often! In other news, he said "Mama" today and is army crawling all over the house and very close to legitimate crawling at this point. I always put him down on a blanket but he seems to prefer sliding around on the wood floor-maybe it helps him get places fast...
The days of our lives.
