smiles & candy

peanut now smiles at us. started around her month mark. started cooing and smiling yesterday. harmon seems to be taking to her a lot better. he will kiss her goodnight and try to help her sometimes when she is sad. real cute.

on the car trip back from montana aaron had been sharing junior mints with harmon. at some point aaron put them away in the glove box. after a bit harmon started fussing and aaron asked "what can I do for you son?" harmon looks at aaron and says "cah?" (candy) and we all bust up laughing.

Today when I gave him crackers he turned to me and said "thanks!" Normally I will tell him "say thanks to daddy" when he is getting fed, and he will, but this was the first time unprodded. He also has been playing "telephone" where he will either use his hand or his toy phone and hold it up to his ear and say "hello?" Lately he will tell you who he is talking to "momo!" but today he said "hello? whoisit? mamama!" while playing with Aaron.

A new favorite: What does the baby say? "wahwahwah" What should we do with baby sister Harmon, keep her? "nah" Give her away?!?!? "yeah!" (he's still coming around)
