Another month older, little man! You have been doing so many new things in just a few weeks. I know I say that every month but it's true! Below are this month's interesting facts about you.

• words (mostly you say them a few times & then you act like you don't know how to say them): thank you, please, bean, bed, yes, no, mum, dadda, ball, football, baseball, throw the ball, hit the ball, Elmo, cookie, cookie monster, I don't know, car, dog, Coco



• making animal sounds correctly when asked what a particular animal says: "cack, cack" (along with hand motion) for a duck; "woo woo" for a dog; "grrrrr" for a lion



• hitting the baseball off the tee (switch hitting)



• throwing & catching a baseball/football - well, you'll throw anything



• loves eating blueberry waffles, cinnamon french toast sticks, or chocolate covered Graham cracker cookies for breakfast



• climbs up anything



• still no fear of heights



• goes to sleep by yourself (you want in your crib awake & roll around with blankets until you get snuggled in, smile, give a kiss, & fall asleep)



• wake up talking in your crib until we come get you



• still loves water & taking showers with daddy



• makes "vroom vroom" sounds when pushing or playing with cars/trucks



• not afraid of balloons anymore



• still loves to play rough (100% boy)



• runs more than walks



• dances & sings as soon as you hear music



• still loves any sports (you've enjoyed watching football games on the big screen lately)



• loves your new big boy room (we've painted it a slate grey color & working on painting a baseball scoreboard on wall - will blog about it when finished)



• wearing size 6 shoes (you're doomed to have big feet since mom & daddy have big feet)



• wearing size 5 diapers



• wearing size 18 month pants/shorts (no waist or butt)



• wearing size 24-3T shirts (long torso)



• getting prepared to go on your first vacation at the end of this month
  


• still loves school, working on potty training, & loves the church nursery



• everyone still fights over you no matter where you are saying that you're their favorite or that you are the cutest little boy ever (we definitely agree)



• still sleeps all night but hates to nap during the day probably thinking that you'll miss something



• talks on the phone (you'll hold our cell phone up to your ear & babble)



• starting to be a bully - at the playground, you grabbed the neck of a boy's tshirt (who was older) because he tried to get a toy from you
