Hi Baby!
Boy it's been a while since I wrote an update.. sorry about that, you sure do keep us busy!
Lets see.. in the past two months you've started really talking up a storm, 3 and 4 word sentences.
You like to pretend you're tlaking on the phone and you make up words and say who you're talking to, and throw in things like "garbage truck".
Garbage trucks are your current obsession, actually trucks of all types but this is the biggest for you. That and "Big white trucks", I think you say that about 50 times a day!
Of course you still love water, and sometimes cords but I think you're getting over that little obsession.
You're eating better and better, and willing to try new things a lot. You'll usually eat eggs, sausage, cottage cheese, cheese of course, mac n cheese, guacamole, pasta with parmesan. You really liked scallops in your Opas Chinese food one night. You'll usually at least try things where you used to not.
We are still giving you Pediasure mixed with Organic whole milk through the day, usually three 'bottles'. But, we stopped bottles a couple of weeks ago so all you have now are sippy cups and regular cups which you do fine with. You use a little fork and spoon and you're SO proud of yourself when you can stab or scoop things (we're pretty proud of it too!).
You're sleeping through the night regularly (thank you!), and go to bed around 9:30, sleep til about 7:30 and have a nap from around 2-4.
We took our first vacation with you last month, we went to Chicago to see Daddy's family. You got to see your Grandpa (Gee-pa), and Sue your grandma, and lots of other Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. You did amazing on both flights, and you slept with me in the hotel room. It was the sweetest thing EVER! You really didn't understand why we were there, and on the first day you kept walking around saying "what?". You took your naps in the car on the go, you ate ok, and did sleep through the night all three nights, right by my side.
You can run now, and you walk backwards a lot. You are loving pretending with trucks, and sometimes with animals.
I fall in love with you all over again every single day, you're such a sweet little boy, full of cuddles and kisses. You mind really well, and your nature is just so very sweet. You sure do bring a lot of joy to my life, and everyone who is fortunate enough to meet you just adores you.
I'm at work, this is about the only time I have to write to you, so I better go.
I love you with everything I have, you're my favorite person ever. I don't know how I can thank you enough for being who you are.
Love, Mommy
