Dr. Hutchmeister, MD

I know, I know. I am like all the other parents out there who think their child is the smartest thing since Doogie Houser, MD. However, Hutch has been growing so fast and doing so many new things, it is rather hard to wrap my mind around just how much he has learned and changed within the past month.

To add to his application to medical school are the following things he has done to impress his mother and father:

1) He rolls. Front to back, back to front. You name it. This kid has more moves than Usher.
2) He talks. His vocabulary has increased from one syllable words to two syllable words.
3) He responds and observes to everyone and everything. We are working on teaching him his name.
4) He waves. Whether it is on purpose or not, he does it, and it is freakin' cute.
5) He pets Charlie and Charlie loves it.

In roughly two weeks he will be 6 months old. It blows my mind that less than 6 months ago, I had this (I want to say tiny, but that was not the case) baby who would just lay and stare at me and now I have an amazing baby with a personality who is trying to sit up, eat rice cereal and has yelled, "hey" into the monitor so loudly it has startled both KP and I out of sleep. Hilarious.

He has seen his first snow, met his neighbor girlfriend and is sitting ever so tall in his bumbo. He is wicked smart.

Hutch and A.C. - He was already in love.

What is this thing?

However, along with growth comes teething, which I think we are starting. Also, ear infections (double ruptured eardrums this last week), grosser diapers, louder cries and man gas.

I am so smart, I can be a ham
and take meds at the same time.

I think I am getting too big for this thing.

 

Num num, rice cereal is delicious. 

Supervising.

Snoochie Boochie.

These are the memories I want to embrace forever. When I see his long eyelashes bat around those deep brown eyes, my heart melts and Kenny's chest inflates. As I nestle my son closer to me, squishy diaper and all, I think about the day when Dr. ESAP is grown and I can tell his children how their father was the smartest of all babies in the land. But right now, it is this moment in time I want to remember forever. It are these ever-changing moments that makes me the happiest, most proud parent in the world.

More to come soon.
