Learning About Family

In the last month Trevor has started to understand the concept of family. I love seeing how happy he is to be part of our family. Whenever the three of us are together he always stops to name everyone, usually going around the circle several times: "Mama, Daddy, Fevuh, Mama, Daddy, Fevuh." He smiles and looks so happy that we're all together.

At night before he goes to bed we have a "big hug" and all squeeze together. (Cheesy, I know). That is usually followed by kisses all around.

The funniest thing is how silly and embarrassed Trevor gets when he sees Birch and I hug or kiss. He starts bouncing back and forth on his legs, giggling and saying with a big smile "Kisses!" or "Mama, Daddy hugs!" Sometimes he'll run to the couch and hide his face but still looks back, happy that we're happy, I guess.

I know that families bring us our greatest happiness and it's sweet to see that idea understood by a small toddler.
