22 Month Milestones:

• Trying to be more independent by wanting to buckle his own car seat, buckling his highchair, sitting on the (closed) toilet, helping to carry things around the house, etc.

• His weekday morning routine consists of:
woken up by Mommy, play in Mommy & Daddy's bed until Daddy wakes up, run to bathroom and yell, "Teeth! Teeth!," makes Daddy brush his teeth at the same time, give one of us his toothbrush when he's done, play around while Mommy chases him to get dressed, when Daddy gets out of the shower, put on deodorant and cologne with Daddy, give Mommy a kiss and hug, say "I love you" to Mommy, wave bye-bye to Mommy.

• Loves helping with cleaning in any way he can!  He loves to push brooms around and use rags or paper towels to wipe up.  He says, "Messy!" when something spills.

• Favorite foods right now: cheese, banana (nana), grapes, pouches, granola bars, yogurt

• Fascinated with fans and loves to point out all the ones in our house

• Will sometimes get our attention and bring us over to a light because he wants us to turn it on

• Talking up a storm!  New words he's been using include: inside, fan, messy, cereal, snake sound (sssss), cup (bup), elephant (emfant), mee mah (mine?)

• Went on our second family vacation to New Buffalo, Michigan where he took his first train ride and played on the beach for the first time

• Recognizes foods that are hot and will say, "Hot!" and blow on them

• Went for his check-up at the ENT and hasn't had an ear infection in 4 months!

• It took 6 months, but he has finally warmed up to the giant sock monkey and rapping Mickey toy.  He asks to see them and will kiss them, give them hugs, and dance with them.

• When anyone gets undressed, he yells, "Nakey time!"

• Begs to go outside before and after dinner every night.  He will go get Mommy and Daddy's shoes from the hall and bring them to us so we take him out.

• Loves baths and will run to the bathtub for his "bath dance."  He tries to pull on his clothes to get them off and then will "put them away" in the closet laundry basket after we take them off. 

• Plays outside twice a day at daycare and is getting a little tan from all the sun!
