Happy 20 month birthday Grayden. This past month has been a busy month for you, you have changed and have become even more of an independent little person.
We are about to move into our new house here soon so we have been really busy around here. Theres not a whole lot new with you this month but you have become very independent and strong willed.
You don't like to be considered or treated like the "baby" of the house. You want to be like and treated like everyone else. When Brody, Makayla, and Jonah are here you REFUSE to be put in your high chair for snack or lunch. You run to the table and grab yourself a chair and sit there like everyone else. Even though your forehead barely reaches the top of the table and you can't see a thing, you still insist in sitting there just like your friends. You get onto your knees so you can eat whats on the table. Usually when you would eat in your high chair I would just give you food right on the tray but whenever you see the kids with bowls or dishes with their food in them you insist on having a bowl or plate too. When the kids aren't around for dinner you don't mind eating in your high chair but when there here you want to be treated like a big kid too......so cute!
You have become really attached to your friends. You play so well with Jonah and he is so good with you too (even though your almost 2 years younger) Its so fun for me to watch you play with them and try to "fit in with the big kids". You are so cute and its so fun to watch.
You are such a big helper! Whenever you see us working on something you try to get in on the action and help any way you can. You watched daddy take apart the computer desk and you found the tool he was using....crawled into the drawer and started sticking the screw driver in the hole just like daddy was......its all "monkey see, monkey do" right now with you.
You watch mommy put on my make up all the time and the other day I saw you get into my make up bag, take out my foundation and grab the sponge. You unscrewed the lid and started sqeezing the make up onto the songe as you wiped it on your face. haha it was so cute.
Brushing your teeth is still a nightmare :( you hate it yet everytime I say "AHHH" to open your mouth you still open nice and wide everytime. Don't get it ...but Im not complaining.....makes things a little easier for me :) You love to grab the tooth paste and put it on your tooth brush all by yourself but thats all you like about it.
We haven't started potty training at all but I think we will be buying a potty here soon and see how you do. Im not in a rush or plan on rushing you with this at all. I don't think you are ready yet so I wont be pushing this but I do want to try and see what happens.
You are still a big eater and love your food. Some days you get picky with your vegetables and pick them out but other days you'll eat them just fine. You are still nursing before nap, after nap, and before bed. For a while there I felt my milk depleting ALOT but I think now that we are getting closer and closer to baby it is picking back up again.
You go to bed on your own but still insist on sleeping with me when you wake up at around 2am. You still have about one night time nurse but once we get settled in our new house I will be weaning you from any night time nurses and helping you to sleep in your own bed all night long. You HAVE GOT to be sleeping through the night and in your own bed before baby is born or Im in BIG TROUBLE! I hope this transition is just as easy as you going to sleep on your own.....I can only hope I guess!
Talking is still the same.....you know how to say many words but you just dont.....really....like to.....talk!? You jibber jabber and say the words you know well all the time but as far as saying new words or using the words you know your just a quiet boy. It has made me a little confused and at times and I have often wondered if I am doing something wrong or not doing something but I have to remember every child develops at there own rate I guess and It wont be long before I can't get you to be quiet so I guess i should enjoy it while it lasts :)
LOVE YOU baby boy and can't wait to bring you into our new house!! So excited xoxoxo
Mommy
