Didn’t I JUST write your 18 month post?!? And you’re now closer to 2 than 1…
WHAT?!?! Well, your dad says you’re
already practically 2, so I shouldn’t worry about that. I guess he’s referring to your stubbornness,
the way you throw a tantrum and get angry when you don’t get what you
want. You also have a tendency to yell
and make your dissatisfaction known.
Yes, I’m pretty sure you’re giving us a taste of the “terrible twos”.
Anyway, you had a really eventful month. We all flew to Baltimore to visit Aunt Lori
and Uncle Bob. You were an awesome
little traveler and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Soon after, we moved into a new house. We’ve only been there a couple weeks, but
I’m certain you love it. You run through each of the rooms and push
your talking dog and chomping alligators from room to room. You also love to play in the yard. Being outside is quite possibly you’re most
favorite thing ever.
Not a lot to report on the development front. I’ve noticed you trying to repeat words we
say, but you still don’t do a lot of talking.
You do seem to learn the meaning of new words every day – you just don’t
have much interest in speaking them… yet.
You do surprise me every now and then by saying a word randomly that I
thought you’d forgotten. We were eating
dinner outside recently and you pointed to a stick on the deck and said
stick. You haven’t said that word in a
long time, which supports my theory that you can say words, but you just don’t
seem to want to very often. You started
music class with dad. It doesn’t sound
like you love it, but at least it’s an activity the two of you can do
together. We’ve also gone to the
farmer’s market, parks, and attended lunch in the park. You’re still a very picky eater. Refusing to try any food you’re unsure
of. I made you a smoothie recently,
thinking it’d be a good way to have you eat more fruits and veggies. I thought it was delicious, but you pushed it
aside. I have to admit, I was pretty
disappointed. We’ll continue to try, but
I’m not sure how to expand your pallet.
Your favorite things lately are cheese pizza, bagels and cream cheese,
French fries, and apple cider (Grandma G got this for you at the farmer’s
market and you were obsessed). Oh!! My favorite thing you’ve started doing… I’ll
ask for a kiss and you’ll grab my face and plant one on me. It’s adorable. J
Grocery shopping is
never complete until someone comments on your beautiful hair. I’m not even exaggerating. Every single time we’re at the store, someone
comes over to compliment your hair.
We’ve had people come up to us and share pictures of their red headed
children. We even had a lady ask if she
could touch your hair?!?
This month was so busy, I’m sure I’m leaving several things
out. You are our everything and more, little man!
