When folks inquire about his age, I struggle to mentally compute and then choke when I reply, "almost 22 months." Almost 22 months!!!!!
It is a happy/sad thing when your children grow up, though... You miss the previous phases, but the new ones are so much fun, too!!
Right now, he is toddling about saying the darndest things... Daddy claims he said, "I love Daddy," the other day, but there were no witnesses. Not that anyone would mind if he said that... It's just a little suspicious...
He loves to talk about owls: baby owls, mommy owls, Ga-ma owls, hawks, and baby hawks. He is also developing a love of cows. They say mooooo, you know?
The emergence of speech is such a fun experience. It's something new every day. So, how can I be sad about that? I promise I'm not... Just hoping to cherish every day as these phases pass too quickly.
His current vocabulary also includes the following: pizza, cheese, apple, issa (it's a)________, wazzat? (what's that?), cracker, books, truck, car, put down (as in, 'put me down!'), kee-kee (kitty), doggy, mommy, daddy, hu-see (sister's name), di-der (brother's name), football, ba-ball (basketball), hello, hi, bye, oh no!, all done, water, gamma, pada, coffee, hot, cookie, birdie... I'm sure there are more.
So big... he can even watch the Super Bowl!
This little dude brings much joy to our whole family. What a blessing he is!! We are very grateful for the almost-2 years of his presence in our lives. Hugs and Kisses, Baby!! I promise to change your screen name soon.
