Joshua Jace, I cannot believe you are already 22 months old! In just two short months, you will be TWO! I know I say this over and over, but the time has really flown!
Since I am not-so-great at keeping up with your baby book, and I have to document your accomplishments somewhere - this blog has become your very own online baby book! Haha!
At 22 months, these are some of your favorite things:
*Your puppy. He is never far from your side. You have to have him for naps and bedtime, but you like to drag him all around the house with you. When we go out, we leave Puppy at home, but you always ask about him, especially if you are upset or sleepy.
*Curious George is your current favorite as far as movies go. We have three Curious George DVD's, and when I ask what you want to watch, you always say, "George." When I ask which "George" you would like, you either respond with, "zoo, music, or robot." It's a good thing Christmas and your birthday are coming, because Daddy and I are getting a little tired of the same 3 movies - ha!
*FOOD. Kid, you can eat! You often put away more than your pregnant momma can, and that's a LOT! Current favorites include: Hot dogs, pizza, peanut butter sandwiches, French fries, macaroni & cheese, and pretty much any kind of fruit, although you ask for apples most often. You sometimes use your utensils, but still prefer the shovel-it-in-as-fast-as-you-can-with-both-hands method.
*Cars. You inherited about 100 Hotwheels cars from your Uncle Corey, and could sit and play with them all day. You like to count them and sort them by colors. It is rare for me to find you without a car in one hand and Puppy in the other!
*Books. You LOVE to read. All the time. In fact, we need to get some new books (Like I said, good thing Christmas and your birthday are just around the corner!), because you have so many of them memorized! Multiple times during the day, you will bring a book to Daddy or me, put it on our laps and say, "Read it! Please?"
*Hats. All of a sudden you have developed a love for hats, and never want to take yours off!
You have started talking so much these last couple months! Some of your more popular phrases and sayings are:
*"Love you." (My favorite!)
*"See you later."
*"Where is it?"
*"Find it!"
*"Read it!"
*"Please," & "Thank you."
*"Here you go."
*"Close it."
*"Open it."
*"Have it?"
*"Sleep tight." (Another favorite!)
You are getting good at saying your bedtime prayers, you know your ABC's and numbers 1-10, and you recognize your colors. You can name most animals and the sounds they make. You know many of your shapes, but you cannot say "triangle," so you call every triangle a "puzzle." You are starting to recognize & call friends & relatives by name. You look forward to Daddy coming home at the end of the day so the two of you can roughhouse. You typically nap 2-3 hours every afternoon and sleep from 9 p.m. to about 6-7 a.m. You will carry a phone around the house with you and have a conversation with *someone* on the other end. You love to watch football with Daddy & help Momma "fold" laundry. You refer to all clothing as "jammies." You frequently kiss my belly & talk to your "bwuvver." Every day, I am amazed by something new you have learned. You still love to make us laugh, and are always trying to find new ways to do so!
We love you so much, sweet boy! You bring such joy to our lives!
Momma & Daddy
