23 Months Old

 

23 Month Facts:

• You've started saying certain words (tiger, bear, lion, "side" (outside), )) in a growly, low voice, it's SO funny!
• You want to be alone when you poop now, you say "away" while your sitting on the potty.
• You talk non-stop, here are some of your most frequently used phrases: "bring" (anytime you want to take something with us where ever we are going) "come" "hurry" when you ask for something before I have even had a chance to answer you say "kaaaay" you love to be "nay nay"(naked) and you let me know. You are always asking "waz that? or who's that" (what's that and who's that) if you don't know. You are still finding places to add extra syllables when you can, "kuhlothes" (for clothes and close) "turtlul" (turtle) "crackruhs" (crackers) "kuhlowee" (our friend's dog's name is Chloe). You call people "honey" or if you hear me say it you will repeat it. You heard me say "crap" the other day and now I catch you saying it, I've really got to watch what I say around you. You're little ingrown toe nails come and go and when they act up you say "toe toe hurt oweee, doctuh" (telling me you need to go to the doctor) it's so cute. You also say "holdjuh" (hold you) anytime you want someone to pick you up, I don't think there are many words you don't say now, I can't believe how much you chatter, I absolutely love it!
• You love "locking" things, you take sticks, bobby pins basically anything you can find and go to doors, toys, cars and say lock as you poke and turn whatever you have in your hand.
• You have been pretend playing (acting like things are things they aren't) for a while and it has been increasing a lot lately, for example, you take your cat puppet and have it turn the page and anything you pick up you pretend is a phone.
• You do your "old man walk" all the time, we can tell you to do your old man walk and you hunch over and take little baby shuffle steps.
• You are the best my little Coop, I love you tons and you get more fun every day!!!
