22 Months!

~Our little chatterbox continues to amaze us with his language skills. He frequently uses new phrases and words. Some cute examples:
~~~"Here" or "Want it" when asking for or giving us an object
~~~"Say 'cuse me" and "Bless you" after burps/sneezes
~~~"Thank you, 'elcome" ..we're still working on the give and take of "thank you" and "you're welcome"
~~~"I reading a book!"
~~~"Hi guys!"
~~~"I sleepy"
~~~"I did it!"
~~~"Uh-huh!"
~~~"Mommy's home!" or "Daddy's home!"
~~~"I snuggle Mommy/Daddy"
~~~"I want some more please" or "I want some _____"
~~~"I swimming!" as he kicks while laying on his belly or back in the bathtub
~~~"Right theres" or "Right here" when showing where he wants something or locating something/someone
~~~"Hmmm...Ummm..." when he doesn't know the answer to a question

Some not-so-cute toddler language examples: "Mine!", "No!", "No this!", "Na-uh" and "Stop it!"

~We've come to the conclusion that he enjoys songs and music in television shows and not the actual show. For example, he'll ask for a show, but after the opening song, it's an immediate "No this! No this, honey!"

~He continues to love all fruit, but it's becoming more difficult to get him to eat vegetables. We typically try to give him his vegetables first. Condiments for dipping also help a lot. "I dunk it!"

~Daddy and Brennan have added a new and adorable step in our bedtime routine. After reading him his books, getting snuggles, and handing Brennan over to Mommy, Brennan and Daddy play a fun game. Daddy leaves the room and closes the door. Brennan calls out, "Daaaddddy!" and Daddy pops back into the room. Repeat a few times with laughs all around!

~He's cut one 2 year molar. We think we feel another coming soon. Teething is almost over!

~He likes to count objects, especially in his books. He's not always accurate, but it's cute!

~Kisses are accompanied by "Muah!"

~You have to be on your toes when reading books. If he's not turning pages, you'll frequently hear: "Next page! (turn page) Read it!" And don't think about skipping the title page because he'll go back to it!

Our Little "Reader"

Brennan enjoys helping us "read" his books!


An added cuteness bonus, he gives a "cheese!" for the camera!
