Remi update

I have kind of stopped doing Remington's newsletters, but I wanted to note a couple of cute things that he does or has recently done and already stopped doing.
He makes a cute little hooting noise to get what he wants. It turns into a high pitched "Mmm hmm" when he is acknowledging he wants something.
Remi has learned to nod in agreement when we ask him questions.
He is becoming quite the pro at operating his CD player. He LOVES LOVES LOVES to dance and he just learned how to spin.
He is climbing at every chance. My worst nightmare.
Trips to the pool nearly everyday and trips to Galveston twice a month are something we both look forward to.
He is learning to be soft to the pups.
For a time, he wanted me to first dance with him a then hold his hand while he went to sleep, but that only lasted for a few weeks. Now that he is getting molars and is a little more irritable, he wants nothing to do with me when he goes down.
His internal clock is very accurate. He wakes up around seven everyday, rain or shine, even if he didn't get a full night's sleep.
He is starting to obey and is showing us that he understands what we say.
Remi has quickly learned to manipulate. He looks up at you with his puppy dog eyes and his arms outstretched so that you will carry him wherever he wants to go.

That boy is so pesty, so funny, so sweet and so loved. I get choked up just thinking about him, no matter what trouble he has gotten into today.
