Wiggle worm alert! Howie is a shaker and a mover! It’s incredible to see how fast he’s gotten at army crawling and now he loves to walk when he holds on to anything! It’s so cool to see his little brain work with his walker. Getting faster and faster everyday and more confident with moving all over the place.

I think the biggest difference between this month and last is his vocabulary. Man does that boy love to babble! He has this dinosaur growl going on and it’s the cutest thing! But we can start to hear some actual sounds coming from it too like ‘ma ma’ and he loves to make the sound ‘b.’ He also loves to shake his head no, which I think is adorable but I know that will change when he actually LEARNS what no means.

I really can’t believe he’s the same age now as he was inside me growing from a little poppy seed to a watermelon. 40 weeks in and now he’s 40 weeks out! Wow!! Seems so unreal! Especially when you think of everything we did to get here. It’s funny because all of that seems like such a distant memory now that we have him. All the waiting, trying different fertility treatments, more waiting, seeing the negative pregnancy tests, having the first 2 embryos not take, FINALLY seeing those 2 pink lines ALL OF IT almost seems like a dream. Did we really do all of that? It’s crazy how the brain works like that. Something that was in the forefront of our thoughts for so many years now just a memory in time. What an amazing story we have to tell this sweet little boy one day about how we really did win the lottery when we got him!
