21 Months Old

Cason, you are 21 months old already! What have you been up to this month?

*You weigh around 32-33 pounds.
*You wear size 2T clothing, a size 5 diaper, and size 6.5 or 7 wide shoes.
*You take one nap a day and sleep 11-12 hours at night. You are still our little early bird.
*You are a VERY picky eater and sometimes you even want to skip a meal altogether. One thing we can always get you to eat is any kind of fruit. You will also always eat your baby food squeezeable vegetables. You love these and it's the only way we can get you to eat your veggies.

*Even though you're our little picky eater, you have started to like dipping your food in some sort of dip. You like Ranch, ketchup, queso, and hummus the most. We can get you to eat some foods that you normally wouldn't if we present it to you with a dip---go figure :)
*Your speech has really taken off this month! You are talking up a storm and repeating tons of words. You can have whole conversations with yourself in gibberish---every time I try to record you doing it, you immediately stop. You can say 100 + words now and you know the meaning of so much more than that. You just started calling us Mommy and Daddy instead of Mama and Dada and we think it is so cute!
*You are still working on jumping up and down without holding on to anything and you are getting much better. Occasionally, you can jump up and down several times in a row and you get so excited while you are doing it!
*You are still loving your puzzles and you are getting very good at them.
*You have really started to like being read to. In the past, your attention span usually didn't last for a whole book, but now you enjoy listening to an entire story. In fact, lots of times you want to read the book more than once at a time. You LOVE the Brown Bear books.
*You love to "hide" from us. You will run away somewhere and then close your eyes tight to "hide". I guess you think if you can't see us then we must not be able to see you either.
*Bath time is one of your favorite times of the day. We usually have to pull you out kicking and screaming.
*You are starting to recognize some of the letters of the alphabet (when you are in the mood). Specifically A - G.
*You are still in LOVE with Elmo (Momo).
*You have learned a new word at school and you like to use if often---MINE. The first time you said this to us and jerked something away from us, we where shocked. We are trying to cut back on the use of this word but we have not been very successful yet.
*Your ENT doctor had to take the tube out of your right ear on 2-11.
*You are still very "spirited"---your volume level can get very high (especially in public) and you can definitely throw a good temper tantrum.
*You love to give hugs and kisses and say I love you. It just melts our hearts every single time.


Say "Cheese" for the camera......
