Adam Overload

I have been gathering up lots of pictures of Adam over the last few weeks, with nothing really noteworthy to write about any of them.  Adam is still my cheerful little baby.  At least, I think he's a baby, until I see him next to a real baby and realize that he's going to be a competent little two-year-old by the time his little brother or sister gets here. 

Jason calls Adam a little tinker-er.  He loves to sit and pull thing apart, put things together, just figure out how things work.  He has zero interest in watching television, but he will flip through the page of a book or pull apart a stack of post-it notes (one at a time) for hours.

He is getting to the insisting stage- his vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds, but he still chooses to grunt most of his requests at me in hopes that I will just give him what he wants without insisting that he say the corresponding word first.  But he insists on doing things the way he wants to do them.  He has finally made peace with the vacuum and insisted on helping Jason vacuum our room the other night.

He is also developing a major love for the outdoors and insists that we go outside- in the front yard, together- several times a day.  He always wants to put a helmet on his head and loves to be pulled around in the wagon.

He's also full of mischief and knows to clear the room fast if he's caught doing something against the rules.  He makes my heart skip a beat at least seven times a day.  

And if you're wondering if he's having a little brother or sister... so are we.  We find out on Monday!
