HUGS!

Basically every morning, Bear gets up before Kat. And every morning when she does stumble out of bed, he reaches for her and gets very excited! So today, he reached for her and she came to him as usual, and he grabbed both of her shoulders with his cute little bear paws and pulled her close to him and hugged her. A real hug! We got excited of course and clapped for him, and so he pushed her away and did the whole thing again from the beginning. It was so precious.

Now he will identify Sissy when we say, "where's Sister Bear?" He'll point to her and smile. The other day he even said, "Kat!" He will give her kisses, and starting today, hugs. He loves her so much. She must be the example of what 'cool' is to him. They make me so happy!

Speaking of speaking, he also says more "ma" , mama, "mamamamamama", Dada, "dadadadadda", and Auntie J said that he said "again" the other day 'gin!' He's growing up!
