22 Months

- You have so many words and phrases in your vocab bank but I like "I got you" and "tickles" "oh, gosh" the best. You know all of your colors and body parts including some weird ones like brows, neck, shoulders, elbows etc. We are working on your shapes right now and you love pointing out circles and stars; you also pointed out the moon the other day, caught me off guard.

- You have started to come out of your room on your own in the morning and after naps. You will come out and quietly look around for me until you see me, and instead of saying mommy or hi, you say waffles. Good Morning to you too sweetheart :)

- I love that you call pajamas "jammies" and you get so excited when your Daddy leaves you block towers to find when you wake up. You also like to listen to music with headphones with Daddy and watch videos of zebras, monkeys, bears and bunnies.

- We still love our park visits. I am looking forward to taking you more often now that its starting to get a little cooler. You like to find pinecones but always make sure to put them back before we leave.

- We took a trip to Grandma and Grandpas Ranch this month to celebrate Grandpas 65th Birthday. You really liked their chickens, roosters and meeting their new donkey Daisy. Daisy was a little afraid of you but you had no fear and would charge the fence and laugh when she ran away. haha You also had fun following your cousins Mason and Tyler around all weekend.

This month you went to two birthday parties. The first was for your cousin Jackson's 4th Birthday. They had it at a splashpad in their neighborhood and you had so much fun. It's funny watching you play, you usually are very social with one or two kids but when their is a larger group you tend to play independently and take your play very seriously. Hence the facial expressions. 

The second birthday we went to was for your buddy Parker, who turned 2. You have talked non stop about him since his Fiesta Party. You had fun making your own maraca and pulling a string from the pinata. You even won a pinata to take home with you and you played with it for several days. 

We got together with your cousins and Aunt Jessica for pizza and ice cream at our house to celebrate Blue Bell being back! We had to do our part and support our Texas Ice Cream Company. ;-) I am so glad Jessica was there because you took a hard fall and hit your head on our kitchen tile. It was nice to have her input on whether or not we should take you to get checked out. I am not sure I would have stayed as calm if it were just us at home. 

you cheered up after you tasted your ice cream :)

we got two of the last containers

Obviously we are excited for football season starting! Gig'em Aggies! And it only took 22 months but Rollie is finally coming around. Huge strides to let you sit on her back. :)

 - We have had fun spending more time on the porch playing with your water table.
