Wait, what? My baby is almost two!
Weight: ? Height: ?
23 Month Milestones:
• My new favorite phrase: "Mama [Dada], sit down!"
• He loves to talk on the phone and will try to have a conversation with whoever is calling
• Favorite foods of the month: grapes, yogurt, string cheese, pouches, ice cream (when he's allowed to have it)
• Getting more independent and wanting to sit in a regular chair instead of high chair sometimes
• Loves playing outside (just like he has all summer) and enjoys the sprinkler and baby bath filled with water in the backyard
• Asks to take showers every morning, but we usually only have times on weekends
• His new favorite song to sing is "The Farmer in the Dell" and "Happy Birthday"
• Has about 120 words that I've been able to record, plus he knows several songs
• Attention span is getting a little better. He will watch about a minute of an Elmo Youtube video!
• He's only able to identify the color blue and will give that as his answer for any color when asked. He somehow picked up on black and will now sometimes answer with that as well.
• He's turning into a clean freak! He points out anything that he thinks is messy. "Messy!" or "Icky!" He always loves to help clean up by using a paper towel or rag that we give him. When he peed on the floor after a bath, he immediately said, "Messy!" and ran to the cabinet to get a rag to clean it.
• I had a parent/teacher conference at daycare and he seems to be doing very well. The teacher said he's very outgoing and always one of the more social ones. He always participates in group activities and will watch the other kids and follow along. He has a huge and impressive appetite and always want his food RIGHT NOW. They are trying to teach him patience and learning to wait as we are at home too. The teacher was also shocked that he's a lot more picky with food at home when he eats everything at daycare. He LOVES storytime, especially when Miss Helga reads from the felt storyboards. She made a point to say how he will sit for 45 minutes at a time and keep begging for more stories! The kids' favorite is a story about animals, so when they see her, they all run to the closet for the storyboard and yell, "EIEIO!" I witnesses this firsthand before my conference and it's adorable. His language development is great and he's learning a lot of new words all the time. I told her we are always thinking a ADHD in the back of our mind, but she said she didn't seem to notice any symptoms and had an average attention span for his age. I'm very happy with our daycare and he absolutely loves going every day.
