22 Months Old!

We are creeping up on two years old! I really can't believe it except for his daily two-year old tantrums! He continues to love to read. I think he could sit on the couch all day long and read. He now likes to have a pillow behind him and a blanket on his lap. He loves to make animal noises that he sees on each page. He could read the same book ten times in a row! We definitely cannot, some of the kid books are pretty boring!

The funniest story that the daycare gal at my gym told me was that he was faking injury such as falling off of the chair or falling down in front of her and starting to cry. She said it wasn't his usual cry and when she went to him he started to smile and give her a big hug. She said he would do this when she was holding a baby and she thought he was jealous. Apparently he did this several times on Monday -- the little stinker! He obviously is pretty excited to be a big brother!

I don't think we have had any major new milestones this month but here are some of his favorites:

- He loves to make animal noises. He can point out a horse and cow and make "neighs" and "moos" as we pass them. We are still working on saying the animal names. He also points them out in books!

- He loves to be chased! This can by on foot or on bike but it's a good time for all.

- He wants to discipline Billy, even when he is doing nothing wrong. He likes to tell him "no" and point to his kennel. I guess he hears that from us, whoops!

- He is a very picky eater. He eats only a few things which seems to change by the week. He has been into yogurt and applesauce for a few weeks and he only wants to eat them at every meal.

- Words. He has alot of words and 1-2 word phrases but he still is not talking. He reverts to baby babble when he has something important to say! He also is now saying "dah" and pointing to everything he wants. He does repeat things for us once we say it several times.
