The Little Monster

As I'm sitting here trying to figure out what to talk about today my 6 month old baby cousin is sitting across the room staring at me blowing raspberries EVERYWHERE. He's been dubbed by my aunt and uncle as "Peanut" but more often than not they're calling him "Little Monster."

This little kid is awesome though. We've had a fun couple of days together and I dont know what I'm going to do next week when I wake up and he wont be around to play with all day. He's so much fun to just watch. He's in that stage right now where everything amazes him and he's always trying to figure out how stuff works. (And then of course it goes into his mouth.)

Here's one of my favorite things that happened. Last night my aunt had work so after dinner the rest of us went to visit her there. She works at an upper scale bar and grille and Tuesday night is Trivia Night. So we decided to play and try to win $50, no such luck there I might add. While we were there though the Little Monster started getting cranky because it was nearing bed time. So I took him and stood up and started bouncing around. He fell asleep almost immediately and stayed laying on my chest the rest of the time we were there. Theres no better feeling than a Little Monster sleeping soundly on your chest.

So the vacation is coming to a close. We're heading back home today. Stopping off halfway (even though its only a 5 & 1/2 hour drive) and spending the night and doing some shopping. Then we'll really be home on Thursday sometime. Even though I'll be more than happy to sleep in my own bed for the first time in a week, I'm gonna miss the little guy waking me up with his happy noises everyday with a big smile on his face ready to play.
