20 Months

Eeek - 20 months!  How is it possible my baby is quickly approaching being a two year old!  Honestly it blows my mind!  You are certainly becoming your own independent person full of opinions and wants, I only wish I could understand what you wanted!  The communication barrier at times is frustrating for us both!  You have quite the temper, but also are still the sweetest little boy.  I so love being your "ma!" and spending all my days with you, there is truly nothing better!!

Facts/Accomplishments:
When you first see me or daddy you run up to us, say "hi" reach up to give us a hug and then pat us on the back while we hug.  I love it.
Your daddy has taught you to yell for me whenever you can't see me.  All day long I hear "Ma!"  It's my favorite when we go to the store and you are with your daddy and I can hear you yelling for me from an aisle away.
If you are dancing, everyone must join in!  You'll give us a look and then shout mamama or dadadada until we start dancing!
You have started making the most whiny grunting noise ever.  It makes me a little crazy.
We bought a huge mirror for the living room and hadn't hung it up yet when one day I found you standing in front of it buck naked checking yourself out.  You were pretty pleased with yourself.
Whenever you eat something you like you accompany it by saying "mmmmmmmm"
You are officially getting into everything you shouldn't be!  Your current fascinations include dvds, kleenex boxes, the trash can, faucets, and worst of all, the lid to the toilet.  (keeping up with you is making me tired!)
You have become quite the hitter.  It's a problem.  Let's fix it, okay?
The security alarm in the house beeps twice when a door opens and you imitate it every time. "beep beep".
Your walking is pretty good at the point and you're starting to run.  You will run around in circles for the longest time!
You are pretty much always shirtless at home.  If you happen to have a shirt on you will run up to me pulling at the sleeves indicating I should take it off for you.
When you look at a book you always make an "O" shape with your mouth.

Likes:
You love to play outside and now can say "go ouside?"  Your favorite outside activity is playing in the dirt and throwing rocks.
You love having your bare back/belly/chest rubbed at bedtime.  You'll lay down next to me and if I don't immediately start you'll place my hand on your back, then if I start on top of your shirt you'll roll over to you back and pull your shirt up. 
You are obsessed with babies.  Anytime you see a car seat you insist on checking it out.  I cannot keep you away from the babies and most the time you try to touch their faces (sorry other moms!)
On a daily basis you will go into our master closet and shut the door for some alone time.  You love it in there.
Watermelon has become one of your favorite summer foods.
You love ketchup and sweet and sour sauce.  Every time you dip your food you say "dip dip dip"
You are addicted to YouTube videos - your latest obsession is kinder egg videos.  I don't understand it, all it is, is a persons hands opening up plastic or chocolate eggs that have toys/stickers/candy inside.  You love them.
You love sweeping the floors!  Yay for me!!
You are a total animal lover.  
Your absolute favorite activity is harassing/chasing/hitting/terrorizing the dogs.  Poor little pups are so good to put up with you!  

Dislikes:
The grocery cart.  It's a rare occasion that I can actually get you to sit in the seat part of the cart.
Getting your diaper changed has once again become a struggle.  Ugh.
You suddenly have started hating bedtime and put of a fight every single night.  It doesn't matter how many naps you've had, how long they were, what time you took them, or what time I try to put you to bed, it's always a struggle.  It's making me crazy!!



 







Couldn't be happier to have you as mine!
