Our Little Man is 23 Months!

Month 22 blew right past, and before I even had a chance to slow down to blog about it, here we are at month 23... Just one month shy of 2 years old. I almost can't believe it! Wasn't he just my itty bitty baby? In his place is a toddler, full of words, sentences, and tons of fun!

While David was cooperative this time with pictures, I couldn't get any really good ones of him smiling... just of him saying "cheese."

• David, you're still in size 4 diapers and 18-24 month and 24 month clothes. Although, you've tried on some of your 2T fall clothes and you could technically wear them now.
• You're still napping pretty well. You sleep anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours. And you're definitely in a better mood when you get closer to 3 hours...

• You went through a phase where you weren't really eating anything, but luckily that hasn't seemed to last too long. Typically, breakfast is your worst meal and lunch is your best (at least on MDO days)
• You love your big sister and want to do everything she does! You even like reading now! We've started a tradition of reading books as a family in Elizabeth's bed before going to sleep and you are liking longer and longer books and are developing a better attention span with the Bible story.

• I think we have finally kicked separation anxiety to the curb... ::knock on wood:: You have been doing such a good job lately of going in to MDO and the church nursery without crying! Fingers crossed that it stays this way!!
• You have also decided that, while Mommy is pretty awesome, it's ok to hang out with other people, too! We started our Bible study group up last night and you actually played with the other adults!!

• You are constantly talking, and I am amazed at your vocabulary and how you use words and phrases correctly! The biggest surprise for me has been using "I" instead of "me" - you'll say "I do it," as opposed to "me do it," which I feel like is the more common thing to do.
• You are definitely starting to pick up speaking in sentences. You still use some one word phrases, but you are quickly moving into 3-4 word sentences a majority of the time!

"Cheese"

Birthday party planning is in full swing and I can't wait for your second birthday! Mommy, Daddy, and Elizabeth love you to the moon and back! You are such a sweet little man and we can't wait to see what all God has in store for you.
