22 Months

{December 19th}


I cannot believe this little buddy will be TWO in just 2 short months!
In some ways he still seems like our baby but he is definitely turning into a big boy the last few months.

His talking and vocabulary have exploded the last few months!!
He pretty much repeats every single thing we say or ask him to say and its usually really clear.
Some favorites lately include "keen" (for Lightning McQueen), "Santa", "ho ho ho", "baca" (for Chewbaca), "D2" (for R2D2), "ruff ruff" (puppy), and "milk"... with an emphasis on the "K"

He has picked up Braxton's Star Wars obsession and can point out all the characters if you show him a picture and ask.  His favorites are Chewy and R2D2... he always giggles when he hears their sounds.
He can also hum/sing the dark side theme song and will bust it out ANYTIME Star Wars is mentioned or he sees it on TV (or in the store, etc...)

He is also picking up words to songs and sings little pieces on his own.
He recognizes and sings along to parts of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Row Row Row Your Boat, You Are My Sunshine, Jesus Loves Me, Old McDonald, and Jingle Bells.

He has started becoming a more picky eater.
Sometimes he still eats great, and sometimes he only eats 1 thing or just a few bites before he says "all done".
The good news is that he always goes for and eats his veggies and fruit first.
Still loves them all.

He is so hard headed and is getting quite the little attitude.
He knows exactly what he wants and there is no changing his mind.
When he says All Done at meals- there is no taking more bites.

He's learned how to pinch, bite and hit.
And we've started Time Out.
Clearly its all normal developmentally, but I feel like he's hitting his "terrible twos" a little early
(where Braxton was still mellow at this age and had terrible threes).

He loves bath time and all things water.
He loves tools and helping Brian with everything little thing.
He loves coloring and writing on paper.
He loves any toy that Braxton has and is playing with.
