20 Months Old!

Pearce, you are 20 months old now!  I can't believe how fast time is flying by and how much you are growing and changing each day.  You are such a talker and now put several words together all the time.  The other day you said "Mommy eh funny."  Awww...I'm glad you think I'm funny :)

You have such a good memory.  You always talk about the choo choo train at the mall and how you have to give the man tickets.  You love for me to sing you songs....especially "E-Yi-Yo."  You will say, "Peese Mommy, E-Yi-Yo."  We sing that a LOT in the car :)  The other day, your friend, Bodie came over to play and he brought you a car.  I said that was so nice of Bodie and now when you play with the car, you say "Bodie eh nice."  You have started saying "Yup or Yap" for yes :)  It's pretty funny!  You love to show us how you can run fast.  You will say "Run fast....seh, doe!"  Or you will say "On, doo, free, doe!"  You now want to do EVERYTHING yourself...buckle yourself in, pour your milk, feed yourself, put on your shoes and socks, give Otis his medicine.  I let you do what you can, but man, do you get mad when I don't let you do something....like pour your own milk :)

You get so happy and squeal when Daddy comes home.  You still love to watch videos about planes or "dof darts" with him.  At the moment, you are pretty obsessed with your cousin, Nathan or "Nay Nay" as you call him.  You want to watch videos of him and see pictures of him, but you often cry after because you want the real thing!  Mother's Day Out is getting easier for you, I think.  I now hold your hand and you walk right in....but usually cry a little and then you are o.k.  Yesterday, I held your hand as we walked to your classroom and as your teacher opened the door and said "Hi Pearce," your little mouth turned down and started to quiver....but you really didn't cry....I saw her direct you to a table of toys and you were happy!  I've also started putting "BB" in your backpack so that you don't have it when you walk in, but it's there if you need it.  You were holding "BB" when I picked you up yesterday :)

If you could live outside, you would be so happy!  You just love to play outside and ride in your wagon, play with your bike, blow bubbles, or go for a stroller ride to get the mail.  You are just the sweetest little thing.  The next few holiday months are going to be so fun with you!  Mommy and Daddy love you more than you will ever know!
