But this month you are by far such a different child. I'm really losing my baby and gaining a lil' toddler. And though I am missing your cuddle days, your funny, goofy personality is definitely making up for it. I absolutely love this age. You are making me and your daddy fall head over heels for you. And I'm taking in every moment becaeus I know this age is gonna fly by just as fast as the last sixteen months have. So here are all the lil' things I love, and lil' things that are well, your lil' quirks.
*Your signing is amazing. You know, please, thank you, nice, more, food, water, wait (a big one for us cuz you have NO patience), milk (another fav of yours).
*Your vocabulary is also very big. You catch on very quick, especially when you watch our lips pronounce the words. You're so quick at copying what ever you hear. I'm one very proud mama.
*We started swim classes with you and man oh man does this make me happy. I am very paranoid with water and you as you LOVE it. And me not so much when all you wanna do is just run in it. We are on wk 5 and have learned to hold your breath and swim a small distance under water. Definitely eases my mind from what could have happened. I know now you can float and hold your breath ;)
*You are obsessed with reading. Well 4 books that is. You love: God gave us you, How to be a pig, Me and my daddy and Me and my mommy. We read them up to 10x a day. But we love, to see you love it.
*You still are not a tv kid, but we found one show that keeps your attention. Sid the Science Kid. So daddy went out and got a bunch of the DVD's just for you. And you could watch them over and over. So happy it's at least educational :)
*You aren't to into children your age. You tend to like the bigger kids. You gravitate towards them for some reason, and it's so cute to see you "try" and be one of the big kids.
*Your still breastfeeding and to be honest I'm letting you wean yourself. I am not about to put you or me into something stressful. You're slowly weaning off once in the morning and maybe midday and nitetime.
*You went through a funny stage when all you wanted to eat was fruit juices (you love homemade juice) and yogurt. You literally went through it for a few weeks and would spit out anything we put in front of your. Thank goodness your strike is OVER :)
*You're a growing machine. You are so big compared to the kiddos your age. I'm still crossing my fingers it's a sign you're gonna be taller than daddy :)
*I still can't cut your hair. It's so curly. We have gotten a few "She's so cute" remarks. But hey I can't blame them, your hair is long and you wear a teething necklace.
*Anytime you hear music your lil' head starts bobbing and it's by far thing the cutest thing.
*You are really picking up on your bad attitude and will do nice to us if you recognize that we aren't very happy with it.
*You scream dad ALL the time. If daddy come home and he goes out of your sight, it's dad, dad, dad, until you find him.
*You like to eat now on your big boy table. No more high chair.
*You love your doggies and we are so blessed to have such amazing doggies that allow you to do whatever you want to them.
*Going into 24 months clothing and wearing shoe size 6
You are such a happy lil' dude. I still get lil' flutters in my belly when I think about you and how much I love your sweet, innocent lil' soul. I couldn't be more grateful for the lil' blessing of you that God gave me. I'm forever a changed because of you Eli, and I never wanna go back
