boy oh boy

i have a boy. my little baby is now the ripe old age of 10 months. and he is becoming, despite my dismay, very, well.....boyish!

he wears blue. he is loud. he bangs things.
he is independent. he is rowdy. he is fearless
(last night at swimming, he threw himself off the edge with no one there to catch him).
he likes men. mostly his papa. he has stopped playing with his doll, and is now onto trucks. oh, and he thinks he is really funny as he laughs at his own sneezes, burps and farts. (ok, maybe that comes more from his mama than from being a boy).

but, despite his blue-wearing, cup banging, boyish ways, i do love him. really i do.
