20 months

Wait a minute...when did my baby turn TWENTY months?? How did that happen? 20 months is way too close to 2 years old, which his not acceptable. I don't have a baby anymore - I have a big boy.

Looking back at your 18 month post not too much has changed since then. You eat the same and sleep the same, but you do say a lot more words. You understand more of what we are saying and tasks we ask you to do.

In a nutshell: you love trucks and airplanes, you don't EVER stop moving, you are really silly, you have developed a serious attitude which I assume is the onset of the terrible twos, and you love Thomas the Train DVDs.

- You love to count and repeat the alphabet. Your favorite numbers are eight and nine. When we walk up the stairs you say "eeeiiiiiggghhht, niiiiiiiiiinne"

-You are putting several words together now, and I love hearing you say phrases! My favorite is "Honey How", which is Honey's house.

-Honey bought you some Thomas the Train DVD's and you LOVE them. That is actually an understatement. You have always loved Baby Einstein videos, but even they didn't hold your attention for too long. You ask to watch the "choo choos" all day long and you will actually sit pretty still and watch it and dance to the music.
-You can point to your nose, eyes, ears, mouth, hair, head, neck, teeth, hair, feet, toes, hand, belly button, and knees

-You love to give kisses and hugs

-You are a little monkey who loves to climb - the stairs, onto chairs, whatever!

-You love to read and look at books.

-You look up at the sky when a bird or airplane flies over and point. You love to go outside at night and find the moon.

-You sleep from 7:30pm until around 7am and take one nap at 12:30pm usually for 2 hours.

-You wear 24 month clothes and a size 5 diaper. You wear a size 5 or 6 shoe.

-You love to say the blessing before every meal. If I forget you remind me! You will fold your hands and close your eyes and say "ma-men"
-You are the pickiest eater ever. You are very suspicious of everything. If it's not a waffle or a grilled cheese you are not even thinking about putting it in your mouth.

-Breakfast: you are loving pumpkin bread right now
Lunch: cheese quesadilla
Dinner: chicken nuggets, pouch of veggie, yogurt, some other item like tator tots or a sweet potato

-You drink a sippy cup of whole milk in the morning, afternoon, and night and a 1/2 a cup at naptime.

-We have been staying at Honey and Big Daddy's during this moving transition and you LOVE having all the attention. You have 4 adults who watch your every move and love you so much!
