Be still my beating heart. My baby is growing up before my eyes and each day you have a new word or new skill. If I could bottle up the moments of the day, I would. For now, this little blog will have to do...
You are all boy :) I can't even begin to count the scraps and bumps all over your little body. You are on the move, climbing...running...hopping...dancing...screaming bundle of all-boy-toddler.
Still comfortably wearing 18 month clothes and size 5.5 shoes. These shoes and your boots are size 6..a bit big...but they are both your favorite. When we ask you to go get your shoes, this is what you bring us so we put on thicker socks and go with the flow!
You have started saying two-word phrases, and 'talk' all the time although we don't understand you. I like that you have started to communicate using words instead of cries. This month we have been dealing with a diaper rash turned Staph, so you've been in worse moods than normal. Which means both of us are not the happiest at the end of the day...poor daddy....
Lest the reading audience think all we get around our house is smiles....
After nap time chair. You have orange juice and a snack in your cup while watching...wait for it.....
Yup, Mickey Mouse Club. You request it "Mik Mous" between your crying. After nap time is rough for you still....takes about 30 minutes to 'warm' up to the fact that you aren't sleeping. It is also the beginning of the hardest part of the day - the time after nap to the time Daddy gets home - and you like to push Momma's patience button until its beyond empty. Again, good thing you are cute...
You are independent and want to try to do things yourself. (Wonder where you got that from) You haven't tried undressing/dressing yourself but you like to try to put on your socks and shoes ;-) You mimick just about anything we do and you want to be the center of attention...*sigh* Where do you get these traits from?!?
Since you've been out of school we've gotten to spend a little more time with Babi. Our favorite spot is at the park. We bring bubbles and snacks and you get a kick watching (and mimicking) the older kids. Yesterday you played with a sweet 19-month old girl for 30 minutes. It was so fun to watch you interact...but remember, no dating until you're 40 mkay?

We have a family zoo membership now, so once a week we try to get a little animal time. You can say all the sounds and name most of the animals at this point. The lions were sleeping, so you did your 'shhhhh they are sleepy" sound. Complete with the shushing first finger over your lips. Cute kid. Cuuuuuute.

You finished your first year of school with New Haven Day school. You had three awesome teachers (Miss Lindsay isn't pictured) that spoiled you and loved on you.

Bubble baths and babies. You love the water and swimming lessons have been the highlight of the month. You jump off the side, have no fear of being submerged and even went off the diving board. I'm glad you like the water because we will be traveling to the lake this summer for sure!
Before school we go and visit your Cici at her office. I snapped this picture as I had a flash-forward and mini-heart attack. All grown up and working at the tender age of 20 months. Have I told you to stop growing up all ready???
Most days at our house, this is the best time. You in your boots, outside and with your Grandpa.
Hamming it up with our selfies. I just love you, kid. More than any picture or word I can write.
