Lots of growing has been taking place the last four months. Mostly in mischievousness but lots of positives too. He's definitely developed a stubborn opinionated streak now that he's a mature toddler and knows exactly what he wants and when he wants it. Oh how the parenting begins. In other newness...
*first word was mommy and second word was daisy. While those two seem to remain his favorites he also says daddy, Conner (nonner), Evie (weevie), hi, hello, bye bye, ball, baseball, bat, hat, milk, shoes (shhhh), read, ba ba, duck, dog, bath, eat, drink, let's go, no, stop, please, thank you, more, bite, play, outside, slide, swing (weee), cheese, water, uh oh, bar, nigh night and repeats a lot of other ones if he is in the mood to repeat them.
*can point to his eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, hands, feet, toes head and hair when asked.
*likes to throw things. I prefer him to throw a ball but he prefers to throw whatever might be in his hand.
*loves taking a bath and knows it's bath time when he's finished eating dinner. He hates getting his hair washed though.
*likes pushing cars on the floor and makes a car noise when he does it.
*eats a lot more things now but still will not eat pizza or spaghetti or anything with a red sauce or ground beef.
*LOVES marshmallows. I had to hide the bag from first sight in the pantry so he would not ask for one every time I opened it.
*would stay outside all the live long day if he could.
*has all four of his one year molars which all came in at the exact same time causing a few rough nights.
*thinks Evie (weevie) is the best thing ever and yells her name if he hears it come up in any conversation and/or if he sees a baby girl and/or if he just feels like saying it at a certain moment.
*favorite current book is The Very Hungry Caterpillar and he makes munching sounds as soon as I open it to read.
*his second favorite book is Where's Spot that I bought for $.50 at a consignment sale when Micah was one.
*can make a duck sound, a lion sound and a dog sound but pretty much has no interest in any other animal.
*learned how to hold a play gun and make shooting noises from his big brothers.
*still climbs like a champ and can not be left unmonitored for even a moment outside or else he will climb the ladder or rock wall on our play set with no spotting.
*likes yelling hello to anyone on the phone whether they are real or imaginary.
*enjoys making messes and is allowed to some times when I really need to accomplish something. It seems somewhat counterproductive to let him destroy one area while I do something in another but if it helps me be productive I'll take it.
All in all this little fella is an adorable lovable mess!!
