20 month update

This has been a bad month, picture-wise.  We lost both the camera and my phone this month, which means we've lost all of our pictures from 2013 so far.  I did take a few pictures on our new camera, but I'm going to have to scavenge pictures from other people to help fill in the gaps. 

 

 

Some things about you at 20 months:

• You talk SO much!  I'm no longer recording your new words because there is just too many.  Plus, you now say MAMA!!  Finally!  It's probably like your 70th word.  You've only said it to me once or twice, but if you see a picture or me or something that belongs to me you'll say it readily.
• You love to look at photographs.  You especially like our little wedding scrapbook because it's easy for you to carry around and open on your own and has pictures of everyone you know. 
• You love climbing on anything you can.  You can't get on the couches yet thankfully, but you'll climb on anything on the floor or even up onto the jumper.
• You will sit and "read" books aloud to yourself.  This works out nicely when I can convince you to read books in your room while I'm getting ready for the day.
• You love Spiderman and get really excited anytime you see a book or socks with him on it.  You pronounce it "my-man"
• You also love Curious George.  You'll only sit still for about half an episode, but that's amazing since you don't really care about watching tv.  I think the only reason you pay attention is because you've been sleeping with your Curious George monkey for a long time now and we always call him George so you paid more attention when you saw the animated version.
• Multiple times a day you will go sit on your potty to get a treat.  Sometimes I have to hide your potty because you're doing it too much!
• You love love LOVE outside, especially now that it's starting to warm up!  We can spend a couple hours outside and you'll still start bawling if I try to bring you inside.
• You are obsessed with eating Cuties, although you call them apples.  You can almost peel it yourself, and will chew on the pieces until the juice is gone then you'll spit out the pulp.  You would eat them all day if we let you.  Once you ate 4 in a row before we told you no more.
