19 Months Old!

It was bound to happen and it finally did---Cason is officially closer to age 2 than age 1---so sad :(

Cason you are 19 months old. What have you been up to this month?

*You weigh right around 32 pounds
*You wear size 24 month/2T clothing, size 5 diapers, and size 6.5 W/XW shoes.
*You sleep 11-12 hours at night and take one nap. Lately you have been a very early riser.
*You eat a lot but you are still my picky little man. You have made some minor improvements over the past month with your pickiness and that is such great news. You love milk and all fruits so I guess I can't complain.
*You cut your last baby tooth (bottom left canine) on December 1st. I thought we were going to have a teething vacation but I'm sorry to report that you have started working on your 2 year molars already.
*You are saying new things all the time. You still use sign language for a couple of things but mostly you try to say the words yourself. You can say around 40-50 words that your daddy and I can easily understand (pronunciation isn't perfect for all of them). Earlier this week you even said, "Mama, love you" all on your own---it just melted my heart!!!
*Mother's Day Out is still going great. You love going and your teacher always has nice things to say. Your teacher still maintains that you have not thrown a fit there at school and I just find that so hard to believe but I'm very happy about it.
*You are trying very hard to master the art of jumping without holding onto anything. You're not quite there yet but you are getting VERY close.
*You are starting to recognize some of your shapes and attempting to say their names. Your favorites are the circle (cur-cle) and the star (tar).
*You think every ball is a football or "but-ball" as you call it.
*You are tall enough now to climb on every piece of furniture in the house and to reach the deadbolt on the front door. You've grown so much in the past couple of months!
*Right now you love dancing, jumping, reading books, climbing on all the furniture, taking your shoes off in public, playing with your shape sorters, and most of all you LOVE Elmo. "Momo" is your favorite thing right now. You would watch him all day if I would let you.
