23 Months

Haven't done this in awhile, so here's an update on what my little man's up to these days:

• knows all his shapes


• can count to 10


• LOVES to work puzzles, and I think he is abnormally good at them


• loves sports - especially football


• knows the first half of the alphabet (recognizes them, and can say the name of most of those)
  
• is obsessed with his stool - likes to use it to reach light switches, counters, etc.


• is a total toot when it comes to getting his picture professionally taken


• can jump with both feet off the ground


• is a total ham - has the fakest laugh ever and will use it all the time!


• loves phrases like 'right there,' 'over there,' 'back there'


• is putting sentences together like 'I shut the door,' 'Shoes, where are you?'


• has learned to lock the doors


• can somersault


• loves Elmo


• will finally watch movies (actually sitting through more than half of it, especially if it's Elmo)


• still LOVES to read and has started joining in on some of his most favorite books


• still LOVES to sing and sings along with us on his favorite songs


• he's finally acknowledged this baby in my tummy and will point to where baby Eli is and even give my belly kisses


• VERY picky eater. grrrr...


• is very ticklish


• loves to blow kisses and wave


• knows the name of our street
• likes to take us by the hand and say "come on" to lead us to another room for no apparent reasons
• we can trick him into falling asleep by just telling him to close his eyes
• he LOVES to have his back and belly scratched (has to be on his skin, over a shirt just will not do)
• can not seem to find his whisper voice - very frustrating at church
• likes to play Wii with his cousins, but does not like to take turns
• weighs 30 pounds (I'll have to see how tall he is later)
