Ah Yah Vue!

Houston is by far, the best form of entertainment a tired mother could ask for after a long day in the classroom. He's always been animated with his little facial expressions since his first week of life (he even used to be compared to Bruce Willis... judge for yourself:)

Now that he can talk, he's even more entertaining. While watching hockey with his daddy, it's not uncommon to hear him yell, "GOALLLL" or "Nice HIT!" He cracks us up with jolly, animated, "Meh-hee Kissmasssss" wishes, and every time someone says, "Happy Birthday," he finishes their sentence with a "to YOU!" He knows the names of every color of the rainbow, although the only color name he can actually match to a color is "peenk." I just don't know where he picks up all these new phrases and ideas. His little brain is developing before our eyes, and it's just crazy to think that he is learning in spite of us... well, because of us, AND in spite of us. It really is wild.

But by far the BEST new expression he has is "Ah yah VUE!" Tonight when I was laying Houston down in his crib he looked me in the eye, gave me a "ah yah vue" followed by "Buh bye." Just like he'd been saying it all his life... and also like he wanted me to put him to bed already. Have I mentioned how much I love this kid?
