Late 21 month post

Sheesh. December has been such a crazy month with doctors appointments for myself and the kiddos as well as getting ready to take my Praxis exam for my teaching license. I have been terrible about keeping up but I am determined to not forget any more updates because I really want this for later reference!

Wyatt is still in size 5 diapers, is in size 9 shoes, and 24month/2T clothing. I am not sure on his stats but I know that he is still off the charts in height. I had read somewhere that boys reach half of their adult height around 24 months and girls do at around 18 months. Wyatt was already 3 feet at 19 months so if it holds true I believe we are going to have a tall boy on our hands.

He is such an amazing little boy. I know I say it all the time but he really is. It is kind of scary because some days I will just look at him and can see him at 5, or 6, or even 7 because he is down on the floor driving his cars around or something and I just get this flash of what he will become.

He has a very independent streak going right now. Even more than usual; especially while eating. If he is trying to get something onto his spoon or fork that is particularly difficult (like applesauce or oatmeal) and I help put it on the utensil I had better not try to actually put it in his mouth! He doesn't want any part of that and will put his hands over his eyes like "I'm not here..." It is pretty cute.

He has been stringing 3-4 words together in coherent sentences which is pretty cool in itself. Just today a few of the things I have heard him say are "mommy, the Choo Choo train" when he heard the train going through town, "Daddy, come back," when Jeremy left the room, and "More milk, please" when he drank it all at breakfast.

Right now he really loves when I put my ipod in the ihome and blast the music while cleaning. He loves to "sing" and dance with me while I am picking up around the house.

He also has an intense love for "baby sister" as he calls Maddi. He always wants to know where she is. If he wakes up from a nap and she isn't anywhere to be seen he starts asking for her and if I tell him she is taking a nap he seems satisfied. This past saturday night she spent the night with my mom (my mom alternates with them so she can spend some quality time with them) and he was asking for Maddi before my mom ever pulled out of the driveway. I am so proud of him. He likes to bring her toys and play with her while she is in her exersauser. He has tried dragging her off to play a few times by grabbing her hand and saying "hand." He really can't wait until she is big enough to play with him but I am sure when the time comes he won't want her playing with his toys. LOL

I can't believe he will be turning 2 soon. I think we are going to be doing a train themed birthday since that is his current obsession. I am already looking into things since I like to buy early so the only thing I have to worry about at Party Time is food.
