19 months!

My little handsome guy!!! :) This photo was entered in a nationwide contest - so let's hope it gets some good reviews ;) He is quite the little ham these days... He is so much fun and doing so much more as far as his development goes. He loves to "help" mommy around the house - putting a plastic cup/plate into the dishwasher, picking up the living room (he takes a plastic bag and places lots of random things in it and brings it to mommy when full...so after he goes to bed I unload the bag and place all the objects in their real place :)... a shoe, toy, piece of paper, remote, dog toy, etc. are all the things I usually find in the bag :) ) he also likes to help put the clothes into the washer and dryer... Just recently he has been getting into trouble for "helping" pour dog food into Charlie's food dish...haha...how do you explain that while he is "helping" the doggie, he is doing something he is not supposed to be doing? (sigh) He still loves taking baths. His vocabulary has now expanded where he says multiple words at a time: "No-No, Dog-Dog" if Charlie is misbehaving, or "More bites psss" - more bites, please - he now is saying please and thank you -- more like "Psss" and "Toku" haha. He will sit and "read" his books aloud now, and and if you ask where something is he will try to help you find it... He points at pictures now and says the names of who he is pointing at... This is where we first realized he calls his Aunt Melissa MayMay :) He understands a lot more now and is getting better about using his words instead of having a fit or hitting/yelling...which is a huge improvement...There are plenty of things we are constantly working on or learning every day, but its a fun road to travel and definitely is teaching me to let things roll off my shoulders a little more often than I did before :) As always, we are feeling very blessed and thankful that God continues to send good things our way! We love you all! Thanks for stopping by! :)
