Oh, how time surely flies! If you are a parent, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. Little boy, you are growing up too fast. We have been blessed over the past month with the progress you are making in every area of life. Words cannot express the unconditional love that we have for you. Thank you for being such a blessing in our lives.
Here are some new things in your life:
- words that you have said (only a couple of times each because you think if you say it once then you don't have to say it again!): Coco, cookie, red, yellow, blue, thank you, please, blueberry, cat, Elmo
- words that you continue saying on a regular basis: mum, momma, dadda
- use the "more" sign appropriately
- babbles all the time (there goes the silence!)
- attends Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church's daycare - teacher says Stryker is excelling in school; changes classrooms (like real school); feeds himself
- started the potty-training process: you point or grab at your diaper when it's wet or dirty; you head towards the stairs to go to your room when asked if your diaper needs to be changed
- started picking up your toys & putting things away
- ascends/descends stairs independently: you get frustrated sometimes because you want to use a reciprocal pattern like we do but you need some assistance for that technique (Mr. Independent)
- we began attending a new church (Desperation Church in Cullman): you adore the women in the nursery; they say that you're the best child in the room
- you push your chair underneath the table when finished eating
- hand us your dishes/cup when you are finished eating
- still loves to play rough: you will come tackle us or want us to wrestle with you by coming up to us & tucking your head
- when asked if you're sleepy & you are, then you'll rub your eyes
- points to crib when ready to go to sleep
- you'll put yourself to sleep, but not before giving us a hug & kiss
- if we ask for a hug, then you'll lean over & put your arm around us
- if we ask for a kiss, then you'll lean over with your little lips open & press them against our lips
- just started wearing size 5 diapers (could still be in size 4 but the 5's seem like they fit a little better)
- wearing 18-24 month old shirts & 12 month old shorts (you have the long torso & no butt like your momma)
- will point to the car DVD player or an Elmo book when asked where Elmo is
- loves Coco's car - a 2011 black camero (at least he has good taste!): you point to it if you see it outside & want to ride in it
- still loves water (pool, bath, baby pool, water in a bucket, water standing on the ground/object, even the dogs' water bowl)
- likes to try feeding us bites of food
- not much of a picky eater but your favs are fruits & veggies (I'm so happy about that): blueberries, strawberries, mandarin oranges, green beans, my baked beans
- loves ice cream (especially homemade ice cream when you can help Coco make it) & chocolate (like father, like son & also Coco)
- get excited about going to Cracker Barrel
- Fletch has actually completed babysitting duties one day (only for about 2 hours): he fed you Dunkin Donuts, fruit, & let you play in his truck (you must be a special little boy because his truck is off limits to anybody else)
- loves to play with our neighbor's son (16 year old boy Austin)
- absolutely loves attention: if someone is not paying attention to you, you'll get in front of them until they notice you
- you'll clap your hands & want everyone else to when "good boy" is said
