He's 2 1/2

It's so hard to believe that the kiddo is 30 months old.  Where oh where has the time gone?  This boy amazes me more and more everyday.  His ability to carry on a full conversation with adults and keep up is just insane.  He is learning at an alarming rate.  (I've never had a baby before so for me everything he does amazes me.)

He is big into trains and Mickey Mouse right now.  He also loves to play in his thrift store found kitchen.  He is always pretending to cook and making us meals.  It is so sweet.  By far the cutest word he says right now is "wobbles".  He calls his weebles "wobbles" and it cracks me up.

We do arts and crafts almost everyday.  He looks forward to this time everyday.  We have made Borax snowflakes, painted salt dough ornaments, done handprint plates, made our own play dough and gak.  It has been fun and educational all at the same time.

I am amazed at how fast these little humans grow and learn.  And how much they teach us as adults.  He is my pride and joy!!

You are 18 months old

That is a year and a half.  My oh my did the time fly!  You are my little toddler boy and mommas shadow.  And I wouldn't have it any other way!



Your stats:
You are FINALLY past 21 pounds.  You now weigh 23 pounds!!!
Your hair is growing more everyday.  Not all at once, but you have some long strands!
You now wear a size 18 months shirt and pants!  Although some 12 month pants still fit.
You are a size 4 1/2 in shoes, but I can't find half sizes for babies so you wear a 5.
You are in size 4 diapers.
You love your sausage and french toast for breakfast.
Lunch and dinner you eat whatever we have, off our plates, even if you have the EXACT same thing on your plate!
You have pretty much given up juice and stick mainly to milk with ovalten in it.
You have 12 teeth and about 4 more trying to come in.
You love books and have one called "Head, Shoulders, Fingers, and Toes" and you actually follow along to it and point to your body parts and say them all alone.
You like to play with hot wheels, Thomas the Train, Dance Star Mickey, and your Chuck and Stinky.
You are down to one nap a day and you sleep about 10 to 12 hours straight through at night.
You talk more and more everyday.  You are starting to ask questions.  "Who's that?" Who's there?" "What was that?" And you still love talking on the phone. 
Oh you also learned how to give kisses, hugs and how to blow kisses.  Oh melt my heart!!!

Your second Christmas was wonderful.  You got lots of toys and new clothes.  You had fun opening all your gifts and seemed to understand a little bit better this year.  You also had your first official baby sitter over Christmas and you were totally not having that.  Cousin Ali watched you while momma, dad, Grammy, Tommy and Aunt Tippy and Uncle Jared went bowling.  You stood at the door for 20 minutes and cried for us.  But you eventually fell asleep.  Guess we need to get you acclimated to other people!

You are my precious little man, and I love you buddy!

My silly boy!
