Sweet Abram

It's high time I posted a few words (update: many words) about Abram lately:

(**I tried to post some pictures but it says I ran out of storage space...not sure what to do about that, but here's my Abram in words)

He Loves:
-Helping me in the kitchen (aka hangs on my pants until I hold him on my hip and let him help pour spices in the bowl...quite the feat)
-Spotting babies in public ("Babeeeyyy!")
-Bubble baths
-Playing with and spotting cars/trucks/motorcycles--anywhere and everywhere
-Singing songs with all the hand actions--he even pipes in when he knows the words! (eensie-weensie spider, wheels on the bus, the Sunbeam song, snowman song, popcorn popping, ABCs)
-Reading books...especially my I Spy book--"I Pie!!"
-Watching himself on video
-Going to my grandparent's house in Napa--he makes himself right at home!
-Brushing/flossing teeth (...not!  But he's getting better about it)
-Getting a hold of something he knows he shouldn't, then saying "Bye!" and taking off around the corner
-Cracking himself up in his crib after he wakes up ("Eh bike!...yeah!  Eh car!...Yeah!"...then laughs...)
-Playing ball
-Playing chase with daddy after work...usually at bedtime when he should be winding down.  :)
-Cleaning up to the clean-up song
-Sitting on his potty ("pah-ee") when I go and "wiping" himself (with his pants still on--we have a potty for him but haven't started training yet)
-Helping fold the laundry (shaking it out, then scrunching it up and handing it to me)
-Doing animal sounds and naming body parts
-Stalling at bedtime (asking for water, then sipping slowly while peering over his sippy at me)
-Nursery at church
-Bringing me my shoes when we're getting ready to go somewhere (so sweet!)
-Giving hugs and kisses

All in all, Abram is the sweetest little boy and I feel so blessed to have him.  He is so easy-going, happy, and content.  I love my baby boy.
