I am raising a ham

It has become more and more apparent that Murdoch has a very good idea of what is going on around him and how he affects people around him. He is definitely no longer a little blog that requires feeding and diaper changes. He loves to smile and loves other people to smile at him. Anywhere we go he will pick out a person, smile at that person until they smile back and give him the attention that he needs. From what I can tell he loves the attention! I think he must have gotten this from his father or my sister because I don't like to be the center of attention at all.

When we were in St. Louis we went to a Mexican restaurant on Sunday to have a margarita and some food outside because the weather was gorgeous. Everyone else had the same plan especially since it was a day before Cinco de Mayo so we had to wait a little while. We sat around talking and Murdoch got to work on all of the people around him trying to find that special person that would smile at him and say oh you are so cute! While I was parking the car Murdoch was sitting with Andy looking around. He had his pacifier in so the smile wasn't quite as cute and charming. He found a woman to smile at and when the pacifier smile wasn't working he took it out of his mouth, flashed the woman a huge smile, got the reaction he wanted, and then put it right back in his mouth. Andy was dying laughing. Right then and there Murdoch was no longer a flirt, he was a ham.
