Eating:  He's still addicted to pouches. He'd eat 10 a day if we let him. He only gets ones with green veggies in them but still loves them. He's not a big milk drinker, I can sometimes get him to drink a big of organic whole milk, but not often. He is a HUGE breakfast eater. Normally out eats me. 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, some sort of carb (pancakes, waffle, etc) and a few pouches. Sometimes even a bowl of yogurt. He tapers off with lunch and dinner unless it's pizza or mac n cheese. He's kinda picky still when it comes to dinner, but he doesn't get another option so most nights he eats fruits or veggies and greek yogurt for dinner. 

Sleeping: 11.5-12 hours at night and 2-3 hour naps! He's a rock star sleeper! He goes to bed at 7:30 and wakes up between 7-7:30. Lately he's had some 8:00am and even 8:30 wake ups! 

Teeth: 16 teeth- waiting on 2 year molars

Words: He strings a few words together- his longest one yet was "I wuv you Mommy!" awww. He is regularly putting two words together. He still grunts or fusses sometimes and with a quick reminder to "use your words" he will! 

Favorite Toys: Balls, trucks, books, dinosaurs, dress ups, Legos, kitchen, pretty much anything Embry is playing with. 

Favorite Books:  Little Blue Truck, Vroom, Oh The Thinks You Can Think, The Bear Snores On

New Things

*Big boy! He's half an inch taller than Embry and 2.5 pounds more than her at this age and wearing a shoes one size bigger. 

*His ear tubes are still in place and seem to be doing their jobs. This time last year he was in the pediatrician multiple times a month for reoccurring infections. He's been so healthy this year! 

*Absolutely adores Embry. Two mornings a week when they're separated for 30 minutes for speech, it's major tears!  

*Mother's Day Out has started back up two days a week and he has so much fun there. The first week he cried at dropoff, but the second day I walked back down to his class about 30 seconds after I dropped him off (forgot to sign him in) and he was already playing! He goes 5 hours twice a week! 

*Loves to jump off things...like kinda high stuff!

*He's a shadow of Daddy- he will spend hours in the backyard with Jacob mimicking EVERY thing he does. If Jacob is raking, Todd will rake. If Jacob is digging, Todd will dig. 

*Loves to dance. And loves to perform like his big sister. 

*So much more physical than Embry was...he's been caught hitting, tackling, etc. on the playground....whoops. 

*Going through an EXTREMELY independent phase. HAS to do everything himself. Has to get in and out of the car alone, buckle his carseat alone, walk up and down stairs alone, you name it, he wants to do it alone while exclaiming- "MINE MINE ME ME MINE ME MINE MINE ME ME". 

*Jacob and I are always saying he's such a funny kid. He's the total "class clown" of our family. Loves to get a laugh out of all of us. 

*He loves order, like his mama and sister. All last year we got notes home from Mother's Day Out that he was so good at cleanup time, hah! He may favor Jacob in looks and a lot of traits, but he has some of his mama in him ;)

*He's so good at physical stuff- he's amazing on his scooter, dribbling a soccer ball, etc.
