21 Months Old

21 Month Facts:

• You've started talking in third person, anytime you want to hold something or do something you so "Pooper" (that's how you say your name, seriously, it's the cutest) or if you are feeling extra independent you will say "nooo pooper do".
• You peed for the first time standing up. The kid care at the gym has a mini toilet that's just your size, I didn't want you sitting on the dirty thing and your potty seat is too big to fit on it so I stood right behind you and told you you could pee, you looked up at me for the "okay" which I gave again and then you peed and then said "coooool!!!!" it was sooo funny, I really hope I won't be kicking myself later for letting you do that.
• You have started saying two and three word sentences and are becoming more verbal than every.
• It has started warming up a bit and you want to live "siiide" outside. You're favorite words lately are, walk, park, outside, cluhlor (color), paint, you keep me very busy my child.
• You love dirt, everything about it, throwing it, digging in it, squishing it, yes, and sometimes eating it, gross. Your Daddy is going to build you a sandbox shortly which i'm sure you will live in all summer long.
• You have been playing with your language a lot and have started adding extra syllables to words. For example, shoe is shuueeey, go is go-eeee, play is play-eee, I have no clue where you learn these things or what possesses you to do them, but I love them and they make me laugh.
• You had a few very sad nights this month where you woke up with bad growing pains. You would hold your feet and legs and say "foot oweey, leg hurt" it was the saddest thing and I hope that you won't have to endure to many more spurts like those, hopefully you'll grow slow enough that you will start sleeping through them because it kills me when I can't do anything but cuddle you to help.
• You are so amazing little man, your Daddy and I are constantly in awe of the things you are learning and how fast you are growing, we love you to the moon and back Coop!
