Fuller was up at 5:45 this morning. He was crying rather loudly, but the whole being up early thing is unusual for him. I just rocked him for a bit and put him down and he has been quiet so far.

Yesterday Fuller reached a milestone in his development that made my heart melt and ooze with happiness. Well, first he did something really funny.

Fuller was eating Joe’s Os. He was shoving them into his mouth a fistful at a time and going so fast that he actually bit his own finger, hard. He was crying big alligator tears and I was trying so hard not to laugh.

I bent down, hugged him and told him he did it to himself. Then I kissed his finger and said, “All better.” Fuller’s crying went to a whimper as I stood up.

Then he pointed at me, whimpering and holding his finger up some more. So I bent down and kissed it again and he smiled.

Later that evening I was trying to take some pictures of him in front of the Christmas tree. There are only lights up right now and light happens to be one of the words that he knows and comprehends very well. He was so excited when I turned on the tree that he grabbed one of the tiny light bulbs and said, “Liiiigh-Tah.” Then he kept holding the bulb. It got a bit hot and he yelped. Then he came to me with his finger outstretched and I kissed it.

He smiled so big because Mommy’s kiss fixed it for him. He then “touched” another light and brought me his finger for another kiss.

Fuller learned yesterday that Mommy (not Daddy!) can kiss away boo-boos. And that made my heart melt.
