*What you eat: You have been eating really well lately. I have been cooking a lot more, and you seem to really like what I make. You love chicken, cookies, bananas, and sauce (usually ketchup) to dip your food into. Sometimes when you are hungry you help yourself to food in the pantry. Other times you move your high chair closer to the table and stand by it until I sit you in it. When your food is hot, you copy me and blow on it to cool it down. You drink from a sippy cup all day, and at night you have a bedtime bottle... always followed by brushing your teeth.
*Size clothes: 18-24 months and size 5 1/2 wide - 6 wide shoes. You like wearing your shoes even when we aren't going anywhere. Sometimes you bring them to us so we can put them on you.
Yesterday I unpacked the cap grandpa got you when you were only a couple weeks old. It fits you great and you like wearing it.
*Favorite toy: You are really happy to have all your toys unpacked. You do have some favorites though. You love cuddling with your lemur we got you at the zoo. You sleep with it and like holding onto it while we are driving.
As usual, some of your favorite things to play with aren't even toys. The fly swatter (it hasn't been used to kill any), Swiffer duster, and broom are your other go to's. I don't know what it is about them that you like so much.
*What makes you happy: You like going outside and playing with the kids in the neighborhood. They are all older than you, but don't mind when you play with them. You like holding onto my hand when we are in the car and daddy is driving. When I move it, you get mad and I have to let you hold it again. You like playing in water. It doesn't matter if it's the bath, pool, Kylie's water bowl, or a pot full of water (the kids were using it to refill their water guns).
You eventually got both feet in the water.
You also love Facetiming! We do it almost everyday.
Playing peek-a-boo with cousin Ellie.
Chatting with grandma.
*What makes you mad: When we tell you "no."
*Sleep: You have been doing so much better since we got your crib back! You take 2 naps a day and go to sleep at 8 or 9. You usually wake up once during the night, but go back to sleep pretty quickly.
*Cute things you do:You really like to read. Sometimes you bring me a book and then sit yourself in my lap so we can read together. I love it!
*New things you have done over the past month: You are able to climb on and off the couch/ottoman. It makes me nervous because I am scared you are going to fall.
You got on the ottoman all by yourself!
We have started teaching you baby sign language. You have started signing "more." You high five when we put our hand out. We have started doing art time. So far you have colored with markers and crayons. I can't wait to make fingerpaints for you to use.
I love being able to spend every day with you and watch you learn new things!
