Engaging Eddie

I snapped these photos late in the day and the light was just so wonderful. I think I blew through 100 pictures and these are my favorites.

Everyone asks how he is doing with his new role as big brother. I tell everyone that he is doing really well. I was concerned that he'd freak out when I nursed, but he's completely fine with it. I worried that he'd regress in some annoying way, but thus far is (knock on wood), doing really well.

He likes green lollipops, which he gets during his haircut. He seems to play well with others, although there are a couple kids that are kind of rough with him, and I worry he'll pick up on those behaviors. Plus, I hate seeing him mistreated. I'm trying to teach him to let the kids know he doesn't want to be hit or whatever unwelcome behavior. I don't (yet) want to teach him to fight back :)

He is still really into balls. They seem like they are his security blanket of sorts. He has a couple of favorites, but just about any ball will do, which is nice.

He's generally a good eater, both in quanity and variety. He'll generally eat most adult food (versus needing special kid food)--loves pineapple at the moment and anything that is on his mama's plate.

His favorite color is still blue. He likes picking out his own clothes and does a pretty good job of putting outfits together.

Ed loves to sing--all the traditional kid songs. He loves bubbles. He takes on average 3 hour naps each day--maybe to make up for those first 18 months of not sleeping. He really is a lot of fun and happy most all the time.
