- is about 23 lbs
- is about 32 inches tall
- still eats very well, but certainly has the "picky toddler-mode" times
- is beginning to really push some boundaries....He will do something, get told "no", and then proceed to do the exact same thing but slower while watching to see if I'm going to discipline him.
- can add the following words to his repertoire: juice, ices (good thing grammar doesn't count yet), fishes (no matter how many fish, it's "fishes"), uh-oh, cat, doggie, teethies (teeth), Elmo, Kaleb, and Bible. I'm pretty sure he says something for cars because he points at them as we're driving (while saying something), but since I'm in the front and he's in back I've yet to decipher it.
- can match his puzzle pieces to their picture slot (he's actually been doing this for a few months now, but I've never put it down on a monthly post)
- loves to freestyle color. He will color on coloring book style paper, but he prefers the blank sheet with no lines. He is also very picky about what colors he uses. If he has a choice he will choose, and use that color until he is ready to pick a new one.
- loves school! Now that he's used to school, he absolutely loves it. He has no problem saying bye to me when he sees me, and always wants to talk to his teachers when he sees them outside of class.
- will watch the entire hour of Sesame Street, and most of it will be done sitting down.
- is able to find even the most hidden technelogical device, and wants to use it. He will find a remote (no matter what it's to) and point it at the tv. He will "talk" on the phone for quite a while.
- will be able to open his own library soon. He has so many books, and will continue to aquire them because he absolutely loves to read.
- wants to do everything the big kids are doing. He goes to the park and watches what the older kids are doing and then proceeds to try to do it himself. Nevermind the fact that most of it he physically can't do.
- has a temper that rears it's ugly head when he's tired or not feeling good
- loves to "help"....unfortunately at this stage his helping skills are a bit more on the unhelpful side
- listens to Mommy and Daddy's requests and commands most of the time
- will put something back where he got it when he's done....if you remind him anyway
- is very independent....this is a good and a bad thing.
- loves music. He turns on the cd player and dances (see previous post), and is starting to do the motions to Itsy Bitsy Spider. He also really likes "adult" music....classical, jazz, and acapella being his favorites right now.
- loves Mommy and Daddy more and more every day!
