Precocious
I realized yesterday, when I was bragging on Lee to friends/family, that he's precocious. He's been precocious since birth, basically. When I was pregnant with him, the doctors swore up and down that he was going to be a huge baby. He was a respectable 8 lbs., but shot up to over 10 lbs. by the time he was 2 weeks old.
Everything he does seems so early. He could hold his head up at like 2 weeks old. And not just up for a second and then back down... no, he would hold it up for 30 seconds or so, looking all around. He sat up early. Crawled early. Walked early. He talks so much, it's freaky. His favorite phrase is, "What about me?" -- when I give something to Bee first, Lee is right behind, uttering his catchphrase with this look of bewilderment that he was somehow forgotten in the process. He's two, I'll remind you. Taller and bigger than most 3 year olds. He kicks a ball so hard and far I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Rides a bigwheel like it's second-nature. Climbs rope ladders in bouncy castles with no assistance. He also likes to pretend he's Swiper, and throw stuff in places where it can't be easily recovered (like between the washer and dryer, or behind the entertainment center) while saying, "You'll never find it now! Heh heh heh heh heh..." He can count to twelve, knows the alphabet, and most shapes and colors. But most importantly, he gives the best hugs and kisses, tells me he loves me, and greets me at the door as if he's missed me for an eternity, and not a few short hours. (For the record: he wears his hat like that ALL THE TIME. And no, that is not prompted by us. We don't know where he got it from.) 3 comments from 3 users

I have to agree that he is an amazing, smart, and fun boy to be around. He lights up my house when he is over (in so many ways) all good ways. It's amazing his growth and how much he has become such a big boy this past year. He cracks me up.
