lovey...

One of Mac's favorite books is Llama Llama Red Pajama and a little while ago he started pointing to the little toy animal that Baby Llama is always holding. I told him that it was Baby Llama's lovey-just like his doggy is his lovey. So now..when I open the book there is a picture of BL's lovey on a page by itself and Mac points to it and says "yuhbee". The other night after dinner I was cleaning up and Mac was sitting in his chair..he was talking to himself (as usual) and then I heard him start saying "yuhbee, yuhbee"-over and over with the sweetest, most endearing little voice. I look over and he is saying this while he is hugging his milk cup. For some reason that little moment totally melted my heart...he was so happy to have his milk cup and could have cared less about anything else that was going on. Someone asked me the other day if I was enjoying the age that Mac is at now, and I have to say that so far..hands down this is my favorite age.


One of his favorite things to do right now is run into the living room yelling "mal-mal yap". In adult words that translates to "Malley's lap". If Mal is laying on the floor he "climbs into her lap" and will just sit there and giggle. I grabbed a shot or two of him doing this the other day.

We are having a great time this summer..hanging out at the pool, playing outside, going on walks and to the park...I am so thankful that I am able to be at home with Mac to experience all the new and exciting things that bring him so much joy.
