20 Months

I cannot believe that Colton will be 2 in 4 months! It is an absolutely amazing thing to see him grow up ... to watch him learn ... to see his personality evolve. I am in love with being a mommy for sure!

Colton changes too much anymore to try and keep track of all the new things he does ... some of the big ones this month have been:

We became mommy and daddy (instead of mama and dada). I love it! I don't know why all of a sudden it changed but I'll take it!
His bottom right 2 year molar came in!
He knows and uses the word "sorry". We use the put your nose to the wall punishment and he'll walk over, put his nose on the wall for 2 seconds, and then turn around and tell us he's sorry. Little stinker! He'll also tell you he's sorry if he knows he did something that hurt you (accidentally scratch you etc).
He points out all of his boo boos and tells you to kiss them! If you ask him where he got his boo boo from, he always says "Doh-wa" which is our dog. And believe me, they aren't all from her.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Mickey Shades!

The worst thing for a kid ... to go from beautiful spring weather to chilly weather! He hated to wear those gloves!

So Mommy let him take his gloves off :)

This kid is hilarious!

Obsessed with washing his hands!

T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

He loves unrolling the toilet paper!

You're a mean one ... Mr. Grinch!

Cool dude!

What's up dog?

Watching Butler advance to the championship game!

Family Pictures!

We did family pictures and Easter pictures this past weekend. The family pictures turned out great but Colton wouldn't really cooperate by himself for his Easter pictures. Oh well right!

19 Months

Colton is becoming such a big boy. He moved to the "2's & Waiting" room on Monday, February 28th and had a really great week in the new room. His reports came back well and he did a great job minding Miss Missie and Miss Megan. He's back with some of his old friends and is learning new things everyday!

We've had a few weeks of sickness in our house but we are all healthy now (so far!) Colton's been a little fussy lately and we are wondering if he isn't already working on his 2 year molars! We can't feel anything but we have the drooling, runny nose, grumpiness that normally goes along with teething.

What Colton is up to now:

He's discovered "poot" and "burp" He uses the term "poot" for poop or passing gas and he'll say "I burp" whenever he burps.
He's permanently in his big boy bed now and he was rewarded with a nice little 22" flatscreen TV for his bedroom to watch Mickey before he goes to bed.
If you ask him to say the magic word (which is please) he says "Meeska" as in Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse. The magic word to make the clubhouse appear!
He's learned that an octagon means stop
He is now using the word "woah" and in the right context
He's learned what a "boo boo" is
He's learned how to properly use the word "yucky" ... sometimes he even says "icky yucky"
He prefers showers over baths
He's really good at pointing out animals and telling you what sound they make

It's been an exciting month though. We had a princess themed birthday party for Miss LeiLa at our house. We booked our first family vacation to Gulf Shores for the end of July. We attended a Super Bowl party with our neighbors. We took Colton skating for the first time. We've successully moved Colton to a big boy bed and he's now in a big boy class at daycare ... I'm curious to see what this month brings!
