25 Random Things About Dutch

1. I had the name Dutch written down as a potential character name for a story.
2. Dutch Bailey was one of the only names that Chris and I agreed on.
3. We had decided to wait to get pregnant until I finished my Master's when I was already pregnant.
4. Dutch thinks that Bo is the funniest person in the whole world. Everything he does is automatically hilarious (even just walking across the room).
5. When he wakes me up in the morning it's with "talking" not with crying.
6. He got a flu booster shot on Friday and didn't cry.
7. He's an unapologetic flirt when we go out, making eyes at every girl who passes.
8. When he smiles he uses his entire face--his eyebrows, his ears, even his hairline smiles!
9. Almost every time I got to get him out of his car-seat one or both socks are off his feet and wet from being chewed on.
10. Every morning he does sit-ups trying to get himself in a sitting position. He hasn't been able to yet, but he must be getting abs of steel!
11. We read a book together every night before bed and he seems to be paying attention now.
12. He loves being lifted up in the air or turned upside down.
13. He's a foodie. Food is his favorite thing in the world (besides Bo).
14. His laugh is the most fabulous sound there ever was.
15. When you go to get him from his bed he gives you a big smile like you've just made his day.
16. It's almost impossible to change his diaper or clothes now because he twists and twists and twists trying to find something to play with or look at or knock over.
17. Shadows are amazing and he likes to make them with his hand.
18. He's happy 99% of the time.
19. When he "pets" Bo he grabs big fistfuls of his hair and pulls as hard as he can. Bo seems to like it.
20. He loves eating real food in his high chair.
21. He's inherited Chris's attention span, meaning he doesn't have one at all. The littlest things distract him (oh look, a chicken!).
22. After he's laughed for a minute he gives a big sigh as if he's saying, "That was a good one."
23. Splashing in the tub is more fun when it hits Daddy in the face.
24. The more you say his name and try to get his attention the more he ignores you.
25. My singing makes him laugh.
