Busy!

Ok its serious how much Espen talks now. Talking and singing. My most favorite word that he says is AMEN! he says it so loud and long. All you have to say is ...in Jesus' name...and he finishes it every time! He's also in the parrot phase. Well for a while now he recognizes our street, when we pull in he makes a very high pitch "yay" or "ome" for home. So tonight after getting back from target I said 'where are we?' and he said "are-we". When the car stopped I said 'lets get out!' and he says "eh-out". He wants to say everything!
My mom (his Nona) has successfully taught him to answer a question she asks him often..."Who does Nona love?" and he shrills "me"! I believe he is taking pride in all the words he can now say; or almost say. :)
Busy and energetic is his middle name. I feel like it increases every day! And I'm not home as much as Ryan is.
All of Espen's teeth are poking through from the front to the molars to everything in between.

I'm pleased that I got to spend a whole day and a half with him this weekend. It was a crazy one, but I had some good QT with him. I've been getting a lot of hugs, and today standing in line at a restaurant he pulled my face to his and gave me a kiss!
i have a long week ahead...I'm daily giving my "mommy guilt" to God. The mommy-guilt never ends I'm told, no matter what you're doing, but this week I'm going to take one day at a time and look for opportunities to show love and be with my little one!
