Hug!

I snapped this picture yesterday.
Stephen is such an affectionate little guy - "Hug" has been in his vocabulary for a long time now. Periodically throughout the day, he will run up to one of us with his arms stretched out saying "hug!". He has quite a little ritual going with Kyle when he leaves in the morning. Yesterday he wanted lots of hugs from Alaina, and she sweetly stopped what she was doing to oblige and I managed to grab the camera.

He also started putting two words together yesterday. Today it was "read book", but yesterday I noticed it when I handed him a stuffed puppy and he said "Hug dog". :-) Appropriate!
