Seriously how is my baby so big?
We've reached full blown toddler mode here since I sent him off to nursery (church class for kids 1.5-3 years old).
He loves playing with the play food but is not so keen on the structured time.
He has a hard time coloring and just makes dots on the paper with the crayons.
He loves playing with stickers which make for cheap entertainment.
Jake is obsessed with a Red Sox hat that my dad brought him back from Boston.
As soon as he wakes up in the morning he says "eh" and touches his head.
He only takes it off to eat and sleep and we fight about not bringing it to church.
He also loves wearing shoes, a jacket, and sunglasses.
Let's just say it is quite the process to leave the house!
He still isn't talking much but he is definitely comprehending.
He'll point to pictures when asked in books and will bring you the stuffed animal you ask for.
He can make the sounds of a cow, bear/lion, monkey, dog, and pig.
Anytime he sees a picture of Ryan he immediately says "da"
He will occasionally say banana and he says yuck and dog (gogog).
He will also nod and shake his head for yes and no.
He loves to read books especially the same one over and over.
His favorites are "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" and "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom"
But he'll listen to anything as long as you read it more than once.
He loves to help with chores.
He will open and close the dishwasher, help put his toys away and he knows where everything goes and gets upset if you put something in the wrong place, he puts his dirty clothes in the hamper, and likes to help make dinner.
He is my little buddy and follows me wherever I go.
He likes to take things in and out.
We got him a play kitchen and that is his favorite toy.
He asks to go down stairs to play with it multiple times in the day.
He loves his ruffed animals and lines them up in the window seat almost every day.
He still loves to eat and eats anything we put in front of him as long as we are eating it too.
We're still working on using a spoon.
He can bring it to his mouth without spilling but has a hard time scooping food onto it.
He can also drink through a straw and is getting better at drinking out of a regular cup.
When we first tried a regular cup he put his whole face in the opening instead of putting the rim of the cup in his mouth.
He got quite a surprised when he tipped that cup!
He is a walking machine and has started to run.
He is awesome at holding my hand when crossing the street or walking around in stores.
He can sit down and stand up without any support or pulling himself up.
He can go up and down stairs without any help or reminders to go down on his belly.
He still likes to play on his belly, chase us around, and wrestle.
He likes to give raspberries by putting his open mouth on us.
He is awesome at giving hugs and kisses and I love those hugs and kisses!
He now has three molars and two canine teeth in addition to his eight teeth in front.
