21 months

A few firsts...

His first kiss

* He gave a sweet little girl an unrequested kiss, really it was a series of kisses. He seemed quite proud of himself when I asked him about it later. 

His first (and hopefully only) theft

* I took G to a garage sale with a friend of mine and there were tons of trinkets at it.  We found a set of neat magnetic books/puzzles to buy.  And somewhere along the line Mr. G found a tiny man and tiny fish that he decided to hide in his hands and bring home.  Dude!  I was quite surprised that I did not have a clue he had picked these things up... as you can see they are super tiny and perfectly sized for a pint sized thief's hands.

 

My first time to embarrass him

* I just can't help myself.  He loves pulling my headbands off the counter and putting them on. 

And he walks so confidently when he wears them... Silly dude!

 

 

Also, this month:

* He started walking backwards and likes to spin in circles.

* Covers his mouth when he coughs.
* He asks for "ma" (more) tickles.

* Says hi hi hi hi or Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy to get my attention.

* Claps after I sing a song.

* Gives great hugs.

* His favorite activities are going outside or taking a bath. Usually I lure him back inside by offering a bath to come next on the list of activities :)

* When asked to give a kiss he will extend his index finger and touch someones cheek.

* When asked to give a smooch he will pucker up and give a kiss.

* Has started trying to climb into anything that seems feasible (coffee table, boxes, chairs...)

* His new words are: cookie, amen, b (baby), e (bird), ma (milk or more), all gun (all done or all gone).

* He calls his BSF teachers by name now : )

* He continues to be a rascal but is responding well to discipline.

* He is craaaaaazy about pretzels.  He reaches for them in the pantry all.day.long.

* G likes to wear my hats.. they are a PERFECT fit... boy has a big noggin!

* His favorite toys are the little peoples zoo and plates and cups for kitchen pretend play.  He's also started ordering/lining toys up.

* He loves looking out the front windows.  It is pretty standard for me to pull the blinds up for little dude each morning.

* My friend found a sweet book, "My Daddy and Me" when we were at a garage sale.  It has quickly become G's favorite bedtime read.  It is soooooo super precious.  This is my favorite page.
