23 months!

Well, our little E has reached the age where I stop counting his age in months! You know what that means....he's almost the big TWO! I can hardly believe my baby is almost such "big" age now! He is looking and acting so much more like a little boy than a baby these days! This month we have seen leaps and bounds in his vocabulary! He still talks in his very distinct "Ethan-ese" much of the time, but is saying/repeating words constantly. This is new for him, he hasn't been the big talker of the family! His current loves are:

-He is so busy getting into shananigans all the time!! He is a MESS! Dumping out toy boxes, unfolding laundry, pulling dishes out of cabinets,coloring on the walls and floor, chasing the pets and pulling their tails, pouring out drinks on the floor, throwing food in floor, smashing/smearing food all over table, climbing into the fireplace....just to name a FEW!
-Coloring! He colors at least 2-3 times a day, he loves it!
-Trains (Choo-Choos) and Trucks (Tucks)
-favorite shows- Barney, Yo Gabba Gabba and Calliou
-playing with action figures/superhero toys
-looking at books
-playing picture/object identification games on the iPad
-eating!! specifically cheese, bananas (mananas), animal crackers, pickles, mac and cheese, pancakes, apples (bapples), pb&j. He says "mmmmm" and smiles big when he is eating, so cute!
-He still won't drink a drop of milk! So he drinks calcium fortified orange juice and lots of ice water.

He is getting a Choo Choo big boy room for his birthday! We are painting, converting his crib to a full size bed, and completely redecorating. I am very excited to see the finished result, but also bittersweet about it not being the "nursery" anymore!

Happy 23 months to our rotten little E!!

Instead of napping...he was doing this instead!
