20 months

20 months

Age: 20 months (October 17th)
Height: I assume he hasn't grown much since his doctor's visit so we'll stick with 35.5"
Weight: 27.5 lbs per home scale
Size: Still squeezing into select 18 month items, but mostly in 2T. Though pants have to be rolled at the waist and shirts are a wee bit baggy.
Shoe: 6

Milestones:
-Wow, once he started learning words here and there, he picked up on this whole "talking" thing and went to full-fledged non-stop chatter. He now talks in full sentences and takes every chance to repeat what we say (which has proven bad/hilarious at times). His most commonly used phrase of the moment is "Dylan stop." Obviously he hears it a lot.... He loves to try to work out words and phrases until he gets the order of the words down correctly. Just today Dylan asked if he could go over to Caiden's house. Luke then said, "Dylan Caiden house go" and then corrected himself to, "Dylan go Caiden house." It's been really cute to hear him talk, especially since toddlers have their own way of saying things and have trouble saying certain sounds. For instance, with our Halloween decorations up, we've been saying how "spooky" every thing is. When he says it, it comes out sounding like "pooty" or "poosy". We laugh every time.

-He can count, sort of. He says one, two, eight, nine....

-Graduated from his high chair. His legs were getting too long to where it was difficult to get him in and out. So now he sits in a booster seat at the big table with us!

He now says this whenever he sees anything UW or Huskies as well as 

ANYTHING football

Practicing saying Grandma Lynne and Grandpa Dave at breakfast

Notes:
-Still into cars. Which makes it easy to keep him busy.

-Is becoming more aware of his bodily functions. If he needs to poop, he always goes into the corner and hides while he does it. Just recently, if I see him heading that direction, I ask, "Do you need to go poop?" and he'll say, "yea". But I have no desire to attempt potty-training just yet.

-He answers every questions with "yah", "no" or "ummm". The cutest is when he says, "yah, peez".

-He also loves to point out everyone's belongings, and their personal items. Like, "Mama purse", "Dylan seat", "Dada water". Every morning when he wakes up, he does a roll call to figure out where everyone is. Usually it's, "Dylan bus", "Dada work", "Mama home".

-With his new-found use of words, he can be quite bossy as well. When he wakes up, I've heard him on the monitor saying, "Mama gee up!". His version of Mama, get up!

-Can catch and throw quite well. Dylan, Joe and Luke play catch most evenings after dinner.

-I'm sure there's more, I just can't seem to get my brain to think right this minute....

Escaped out onto the back deck one morning to say hi to Jasper (the cat)
