Such a Big Boy

Silas posed for some photos yesterday to show off his new bug shirt.  His great aunt, Mary, embroidered it for him, and he just loves it!  It's definitely a favorite.  You can just see how proud and excited he is to be wearing it.  

We can't get over what a big boy he looks like in these pictures.  In the last picture, he's using his sign language to ask for milk.  Well, it's the sign for milk, but he uses it to ask for milk, juice, water--generally, something to drink.  The serious look he gets on his face when he uses his signs is priceless.

Silas is changing every day, and growing up so fast.   Yesterday, he walked all the way to the playground and back with me.  He didn't want me to carry him, but I insisted on holding his hand.  Other than becoming an expert walker, he's actively working on climbing up and down steps, eating with a fork, and figuring out how to play with his new mega blocks and Cat equipment.
