1.75 years or 21 months


Not a whole lot has changed this month. Just getting better at the things he already knows how to do. There are a few things though...

-He will repeat pretty much anything you tell him to say. My favorites right now are "Happy Birthday, Mama" and "good job, mama" He likes to tell me both of those things over and over throughout the day.
-can count to 10, although he sometimes forgets number 4
-Loves going on walks in his "red loller" (stroller)
-Is really into painting, coloring, etc.
-Finally touched playdough with more than just his finger. He's still not a huge fan though.
-Loved Easter and going on egg hunts. He had so much fun putting them in his basket. He also loved finding his snacks in them. He didn't get any candy in his eggs, but he thought the raisins, crackers, and cheerio's were fantastic!
-Will sing a song when you ask him it goes something like this "la, la, laaa, laaa,la"
-Likes to cook us things in his kitchen. My favorite was when he brought us "coffee" in bed on my birthday.
-Loves to swing at the park. He will stay in it until I make him get out.
-Is almost weaned. He is only nursing once a day to every other day.
-His big boy bed has been moved into our room and will be there until we figure out what to do with him...
-Loves to point out that the people riding motorcycles and bikes have on helmets.
-Is wearing 18 month pants and mostly 18 month shirts, however some of his 24 month shirts fit him.
-Loved wearing his little suit on Easter. He kept saying "fancy"
-Has such a strong love for books. He will sit through a whole Berenstain Bear book 2-3 times in a row.
-Is so active. He just goes, goes, goes.
-Knows two jokes. What's a pirates favorite letter? "ARRRR" and How much does a pirate charge for corn? "buckanear" I love it when he ways buck-an-ear...it's simply adorable!
-Plays so well with other kids. He tries really hard to share and take turns.
-When he doesn't want to go somewhere while your holding his hand he just drops onto his knees. We're working on this one.
-Is an all around awesome toddler!
