Sometimes you even close your eyes and breathe loud (like your snoring?), then you open your eyes and look at us with a little smile. I ... http://waiguorens.com/babyleu/?p=146 Should it be any surprise that Malachi's newest word is "outside"?  That's right.  My little boy is saying a double syllable word before he is saying "mama."  : ) He's also been saying "Oh shoo" (Oh shoot), which he has picked up from either his mother or Trent.  He says ... http://waiguorens.com/babyleu/?p=144 Malachi is saying "Da-da" now.  In fact, on Father's Day last Sunday when he woke up in the morning he called "Da-da!" from his crib instead of his usual crying.  The first time I knew he said it knowing what he was saying I got so excited and praised him ... http://waiguorens.com/babyleu/?p=142 I decided to check Malachi's mouth for new teeth the other day and discovered much to my surprise that he had cut two molars on either side on top!  Last week he did have a few nights when he was waking up during the night, which is unusual for him ... http://waiguorens.com/babyleu/?p=139 Malachi can now say "da-da"  about 50% of the time.  He also is saying "ghmksl some" which means "want some."  He knows which hole to put the circle shaped block in and is figuring out the square and rectangle ones.  He likes sticks and dirt and mulch and pebbles and ... http://waiguorens.com/babyleu/?p=136 Yesterday we went for a walk and the wind was blowing pretty strong.  At one point, there was a particularly strong gust of wind and Malachi stopped, arms held out, parallel to the ground, the little bit of hair that he has blowing, his eyes blinking.  Strong enough to stop ... http://waiguorens.com/babyleu/?p=132 Adam and I can hardly believe how much Malachi has changed even over this last week.  He seems to have entered toddlerhood overnight!  We made a trip up to Bryan over the weekend and he was strutting a personality we had not seen.  He was just full of energy and ... http://waiguorens.com/babyleu/?p=131 Eleven months.  You are such a delight to us little one. You often wake up before mama and daddy; we open our eyes to find you sitting up with an endearing grin.  What a welcome alarm clock you are!!   We love how you scrunch up your face and breathe loudly through ... http://waiguorens.com/babyleu/?p=98 Dear Malachi, How I want you to know how sweet it is to trust in Jesus!   I held you a few nights ago for about two hours while you struggled to fall asleep.
