I don't mind this clingy stage one bit. I think it is so cute that he can so upset in someone else's arms, but when they put him back in mine he calms down. I like being his comfort and sense of security right now. These days are passing by so fast and it won't be long until all he wants to do is be on the floor crawling around and exploring his house. It won't be long until he'd rather hang out with his friends than his parents. I know those days are coming, so I'll enjoy my growth for the time being.

There She Is!
Our family, friends, and church family love to hold our little man when they see him. I love showing him off and seeing their big smiles as they talk to him, play with him, and love on him. Sometimes he is really agreeable to being passed around, while other times he is not. Many times he will babble back to them and grab their faces, but other times he has the most panicked look and searches to find either me or my husband. Whoever is holding him can see this look of panic, quickly point to me and say "look, there she is! There's your mama!"

Baby Kisses
My little man loves to stand. He'll nearly stand all day long (as long as we are holding onto him) in our laps, on the floor, wherever! He loves to stand there and look around, craning his neck around every which way to see what's going on.
A few weeks ago he started staring intently at our faces and then bringing his hands up and grabbing our mouths, noses, ears, eyes, and cheeks. He's so interested by our faces! Are we that funny looking? I guess so.
His new trick these days is one that I hope stays around for a while! It's my favorite. When he stands there on my lap he'll lean in with a big, wide, slobbery mouth and give me a big baby kiss! The biggest smile comes across my face and I say "Oh, thank you for the kiss!" He leans back with the biggest toothless grin and squeals.
Yesterday afternoon he did this multiple times and finally my husband asked from his office "Are you getting kisses in there?" And just a few seconds later he was in the living room with us, ready to get a big, slobbery kiss as well.
And this is just another reason that I love being a mom.
