So Big!

Barret is becoming such a big boy! He is officially crawling now (that is only when he really wants to). He started saying "dada" in this little whisper-ish voice and then gradually increases his intensity in the little sound he is making to a full out yell of "dada, dada, dada". I know he doesn't know what he is saying but it is beautiful and wonderful and I am so happy that he is saying it! His voice is so perfect, he has this whisper thing that he does during the day when it is just Mama and Barret, and it is like a song playing throughout the entire house, "dada, fafa, gaga, oooahh" He loves to make noises and I love hearing them. They are so precious and so perfect, and I never want them to stop.

Despite all the babbling that Barret is giving off and the crawling and the climbing and the standing, he still does not have even one tooth! I know they are in there somewhere, they have to be. He cries, and wails, and bites, and gnaws, and drools, and drools, and drools.....I have read a million and one books and magazines and pamphlets from the doctors office.... those are all signs of teeth! He has had these signs for months it feels like, and they are gradually getting worse and worse, but still, no sign of those little pearly whites breaking through. I love his gummy smile and I have mentioned I would be fine if he never got his teeth so I could always see that perfect and delicious gummy smile, but really, I do want him to get teeth! Life will be so much easier for him if he gets his teeth.



Barret survived another trip away from Mama and Daddy this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed his time with G and G Gaffney. They smothered him with love and plum wore him out. He slept well the night they left and I was thankful for that! He even got to play in his pool in his birthday suit!
