Little man - 21 months

Ohhhhh the changes this month! You are so aware of the world and very sure about what you want and when you want it.

Talking

Your talking and vocabulary have grown in leaps and bounds. At last count you say about 50 words and you understand hundreds! Recently you've been trying to carry on conversations with us by stringing nonsense words together.

Behavior

You are a kissing machine! Oh how I love that kissey face. You will stop in the midst of pretty much anything to give a kiss. You also lean in with the sweet kiss face any time you are in trouble or we reprimand you for doing something naughty. You are incredibly hard to resist! Little stinker :)

You understand what you should and should not do but you test the boundaries all day every day. Sometimes you are a great listener and you can be super helpful! 

Play

You love books and you love to read the same books over and over again. You like to find pictures in one book and then find the same pictures in a different book. You also find the hidden pictures - like the tiny mouse on every page of your zoo book or the balloon in Good Night Gorilla.

You are still obsessed with cars, trucks and planes.

Dylan is still your favorite toy and the two of you play together all the time. You recently started trying to hug and kiss him a lot which is does not like but he tolerates.

You like to watch Play With Me Sesame on tv and you like to play on the iPad. There is a counting game you like and also a matching game.

Eating

Some days you will eat whatever I give you and other days you have a very strong opinion about what you want to eat. You have started eating oatmeal again after a few month break :) you still won't eat eggs or any meat besides chicken hot dogs. You are a fruit and veggie kid!

Sleeping

You have gone back and forth on your naps this month but it seems we have finally settled with one afternoon nap right after lunch. Your night sleep is the same - you sleep from 8ish until 6:30-7ish.
