Routine
You wake up anytime between 7 and 8am which is wonderful. You eat Cheerios with yogurt while playing with your toys then at some point you request a show for yourself. We usually watch Sesame Street and then get ready for the day. we are still pretty busy these days - MDO, Kindermusik, Little Gym and Soccer Tots. You seem to love it all and we have so much fun together.
Lunch is around 11:30 then off to dream land around noon. You nap until 2 or 3 and usually wake up quite happy.
Dinner is around 5:30 and your daddy gets home around 6:15. You guys play play play then hit up the bathtub for some more fun. Then its books and bedtime around 7:30/8ish.

Meals/Solids
Some days you eat really well, and some days you don't.
One day you will eat a ton of something, the next day you won't touch it. This keeps your mommy on your toes! I don't stress about it because I know you will eat when you are hungry. I just keep offering and thats that.

Development/Milestones
Still working on getting that last molar (bottom left)

Helping Papu build my cozy coupe!

New Words
Plane - you get so excited when you hear a plane in the sky. You point up and say "pla"
Other than that I don't think there are any other "new" words. You definitely blabber a lot like you have so much to say but it doesn't make much sense yet.

Just a quick ride to the mailbox for Yiayia

Other random notes
You LOVE to dance and it is super cute. You get so excited and your little feet go so fast! You also added a twirl to your routine and its darling.

You LOVE your cowboy boots. When you find them you always bring them for me to put them on you and then you tap around in them. So adorable.

Recently your favorite toy has been your Jack-in-the-box. You love to wind it up to right when it is about to pop out and then you bring it to me (so it pops on me!). You think it is so funny. Such a silly boy!

You also have a love hate relationship with a whoopee cushion. You think it is so funny and want us to keep blowing it up but when we deflate it sometimes you almost cry - but then you want it inflated right back up again. Crazy boy!
