23 months

In less than a month my baby boy will be 2. It is so hard to believe. Every month is so much more fun and challenging at the same time. He definitely has his own personality and knows what he wants.

He is the sweetest boy. He loves to give you hugs and pat your face. He will say "night night mama, night night daddy, night night sissy" over and over and over at bedtime. He does not like to go to bed until he has hugged and kissed all 3 of us. He wants Bailey (sissy) with him at all times and if she is out of his sight he will go find her.



He is into everything and loves to push my buttons. If he does not want to do something, he will throw himself down in a heartbeat and let me know it.

He loves his friends. He plays so nicely with all children but gets really excited to see his buddies.

He is into all boy things- cars, trucks, airplanes, trains, tractors, cars. He loves animals and is not scared of them at all. He loves to read and sing.

He is happiest when he is outside.

He says about 75 words. He is shy around people and it takes him a while to warm up each time he sees them. He loves to talk on the phone, especially to his cousins Will and Caroline.

He is a dancing machine.

He is always fashionable and tells me what he wants to wear and does not want to wear.


My little boy who used to eat any and everything has been replaced with an over picky child. He still will not eat meat but will stuff his face with fruit.

His favorite games are to play chase and hide and seek. But instead of hiding behind something, he tucks his body on the ground like this.


Overall he is a great listener. I am shocked everyday at what he understands. I can name almost anything and he will go get it. I will ask him a question and he will respond. Most of the time he responds with a no and a head shake but it is still entertaining.

I love him so much that it sometimes hurts to see him growing up so fast. But he is happy, healthy, loving and sweet and I could not ask for anything more!
