Ok so I totally intended to to this post before the last post. Oh well. In honor of Hyrum's birthday I'm going to review the ways we've discovered that Hyrum is like each of us.

The ways he's like Derek
Undying passion for the Wii
CHEESE!! Loves cheese, shreds and "in his hand" ( we always try to put it on things he doesn't want to eat in order to get him to eat it)
He's really good about trying everything, but won't eat beans to save his life
He will ask me 50 times a day to watch the space shuttle take off on youtube. He will point out the rockets on his pj's and will count down.


( the drama at the end...yeah that is all from me. Don't you love it..."Rock!" ( head in hands, sucking thumb then peer off to the side to see if it's working. Yeah I've played that before...not falling for it )
He loves to read
He loves big words. I guess that's kinda me too. One day I was commenting to Derek what a cute kid we have and Derek said "Indeed" From somewhere off on the other side of the house we here a little voice screaming "INDEED, INDEED, INDEED" :)

The ways he's like me
He leads me to the pantry at all hours of the day for "cheese" or "roni" ( Macaroni and cheese) and can eat a half a box in one sitting.
Drama, drama, drama
He likes little spaces unless he's sleeping...then he likes the middle of a large bed ( that's more like his dad)
He is such a couch potato and loves to watch TV and movies ( I need to break BOTH of us of this habit)
He's a drooler when he sleeps
He loves making popcorn
This is not a comprehensive list at all and we're learning new ways every day of how he's like each of us and also how he's his own man. We love our little man! We can't wait for many more years of discovering with him.
