*He is FUNNY. He says funny things and makes funny faces. Recently, he asked how babies get out. I asked if he really wanted to know. He said, "I mean, do they come out the mouth?" He then acted out what this would look like (which was funny enough!) and then said, "OOPS, I just bit my baby!" We laughed so hard that he forgot about the original question.
*He has old man eyebrows. Not cute on old men. Irresistible on a little boy. He knows how to work them, too.
*He is the most generous child - no, person - I have ever met. He is so willing to give and share and love.
*He is smart. His brain works like no one's I have ever met. It is always going, figuring things out. Plus, he is a math whiz.
*He loves me. Sometimes he doesn't show it (or maybe sometimes when I think he's not showing it, he's actually saying, "Mom, I'm upset right now and I know that if I act this way now, although there will be consequences, you will still love me. I am safe."). He often tells me that he loves me and that he thinks I am the best mom in the world. Precious boy.
*He is snuggly.
*He has the greatest laugh I have ever heard. It is contagious. I can't imagine that Scrooge himself could resist that laugh.
*He is our Zebra. Before he was born, we asked Ashton what she thought we should name the new baby. She said Zebra. And she was serious. When we told her that he would be named Christian, but that she could call him Zebra if she wanted to, she sobbed. He was Zebra. When she met him for the first time after he was born, she walked right up to him and pet his tiny head and said, "Hi, baby Zebra." He is still Zebra sometimes.
*He is a friend to everyone.
*He has a testimony. He loves the scriptures.
This is just a short list of things I love about him. He is a blessing to our family and I am so grateful for him. I have learned so much from being his mom. I love that boy.

Hi, this is such a sweet post. I am glad he loves you and knows he is safe.
PS I ate a nitrate filled hot dog today and some chocolate--lots of it--and popcorn with browned butter and now I may bie before morning and if I do remember I think you are great.
PS Time for a photo of you not looking like the wicked witch of the west. Please.
I may not "bie" but I may "die." But maybe to bie is more interesting so maybe I'll chose that.
PS The word verification is disderp. I probably am a disderped person but I'm getting help for it.
I love that boy too. He is a pleasure.
Also, I am not dead, just very frazzled and distracted and trying to catch up in life.
What a wonderful list of happy things about our Christian-boy! He is such a cutie!
