Well, it does seem that Jonathan, as the first born, does get all the press. I am pretty sure I haven't even written an introduction post about David yet, and here he is having already been around for 16 months. So here's a long-overdue snapshot of another little boy we have around here.
I call David my Joy Boy. It's like he knew he was baby number three and has this totally laid back, cooperative little personality to go along with it. Where Jonathan would treat "no" like the biggest joke, David breaks down and cries if you speak harshly to him. Where Jonathan would treat getting dressed as a power struggle, David holds out his arms and legs to help you get the clothes on him.
He also figured out kissing the earliest of my kiddos, and he will sometimes stop what he is doing just to give you a kiss. Oh, the sweetness.
His favorite things in the world are water cups and stickers.
His hair no longer grows in a natural mohawk.
He loves eating -- especially bananas and dried cranberries.
He doesn't talk yet, but he understands a lot.
He loves shutting doors.
Nodding his head both means yes and thank you.
Sometimes he won't want to do what you ask him to do but he still does it even while he cries about it.
He loves sitting in empty boxes.
Have I mentioned his obsessed with stickers? Because that really should make the list a few times, given his level of commitment to them.
We have finally transitioned him into sleeping in his own bed, although I nurse him in the rocking chair before putting him down. He cries when I do, but he falls asleep so much faster than his sister ever did.
I may get around to posting a few more points, and I really should add a few pictures, but for now, I just want to say, man, I love this kid.
