I ♥ Faces -- "All Boy"

The theme of the month for I Heart Faces is "All Boy".

Well. For any of you familiar with my family and this blog, you'll know I have a lot more "girl" to show off than "boy." I have five sisters. I have three daughters. For several years, my sisters were all having daughters. Before my husband and I found out we were expecting our fourth child, the tally of my parents' biological grandchildren stood at: Girls - 11; Boys - 1. (Two adorable little boys had also recently been added to the family through adoption. We needed them. ;-) )

Then suddenly, the boy population exploded. My sister, sister-in-law, and I all found out we were expecting around the same time, and -- what are the chances?! -- we were ALL having boys.

We are enjoying all these little rambunctious cuties that have been added to the family in recent years, but of course, I am loving having my own little monkey most of all. At 8 months old, he is constantly on the move... usually stuffing anything he can find in his mouth (except for the things I want him to eat, of course). He is about half sweet, affectionate little charmer, and half crazy, curious little explorer. One of my favorite things to do with him is to get down on my hands and knees and crawl toward him (as he crawls toward me) until we ram foreheads in the middle, and then he gives me a sloppy, wet "kiss." Often during this little ritual (and quite often at other times, too), he screws up his face into this ornery little sneer and snuffles excitedly through his nose.

And this, of course, is what you see here. :-)

Yep. He's all boy. :-) (Though I feel it's only fair to point out that my oldest daughter used to make this exact same face. He reminds me of her in a lot of ways. They are a cute little bunch of stinkers.)

Love my little man. ♥
