As usual, I'm late posting this, but we've been busy around here! I can't believe we are just weeks away from turning 2. I have REALLY enjoyed my summer home with my boy. He's changing, growing, and developing so many ideas and has such personality! Mommy and Daddy love you soo, soo much squirmy bug!
News headlines: the Supreme Court upholds Obama's Healthcare, Nora Ephron, Sherman Hemsley (George Jefferson), and Phil Neel (creator of Aubie) all pass away, Aurora, CO, theater tragedy at Batman midnight movie premier
Milestones: You communicate regularly and easily with speech, you know to kick when you swim, you recognize letters O and E, you can sing parts of the alphabet song (and know/sing phrases in other songs at the appropriate time), you are very familiar with the iphone-you love to post pictures to Instagram! : )
Measurements: Size 4 diapers, size 24 mths/2T clothes (some 18 mths in shorts), size 6 shoes, at least 32/33"+ tall
Favorite toys/games: You
LOVE to laugh and be silly, the iPad and the iPhone are still high on your list, and you love to play chase or hide and seek. You also love just being outside. Of course anything Elmo or Buzz are favorites! You also LOVE to read books!
Words: You will attempt anything. Last night you said a new word, "opposites" - and it was clear as a bell, and then proceeded to say tall/short, outside/inside (those with a little prompting)! We thought that was pretty good for someone who's not even 2 yet!
Challenges: Not too many. Those pesky 2 year molars are coming in and giving us some problems. From time to time you like to test your limits and explore your boundaries. Time-out is nothing new to you.
Our Days:
Our days are VERY laid back; summer is fantastic! You go to bed around
10 (yikes, I know), but sleep until 9:30 or 10:00 the next
morning-always sleeping through the night (this time last year that
never happened). We all wake up about the same time around here. We
eat a small breakfast and run errands or play. We try to do the pool or
splash pad several times a week. You take a 2ish hour nap around 2:30
or 3. We love all being home together! You and Mommy are getting very
spoiled, it's going to be difficult on both of us going back to school!
Funny/Favorite Moments:
Mommy AND Daddy's Favorite: Watching you play and interact with your cousin, Madelyn!
It was hard to choose a picture for this month, they all turned out good! : )
I've probably told you this before, but I love how these are different from a lot of peoples. I think the "headlines" will be fun to look back on and I love the "Our days..." prompt. I'm curious if you're like me and will continue these until he begs you to stop or what the plan is (you may have mentioned it before and I missed it!).
ReplyDeleteI'm a predicable creature of habit, that's why I continued this long! I think I'll stop with 24 months, but probably continue to do something that still incorporates a lot of the 'headlines'- perhaps a letter?
