Demi is 21 Months!

It seems not too long ago I cuddled you in my arms, and you depended on me for just about everything… but now you are becoming a big boy and learning to explore the world all by yourself. 21 months already! So, what have you been up to?

Busy, Busy, Busy…

 You love cars and trucks! You take your toys and push them on the floor or on the wall. You have a Thomas the Train toy that you love to push around.

Speaking of Thomas, you are in DEEP LOVE with Thomas. You love the TV shows and daddy has started buying you a lot of the train characters. You own several now and you love them. Whenever you want to watch your show you say “Choo Choo mummy, mummy Choo Choo”.

You love your food of course. I can’t say you have a favorite because you eat just about everything.  You will try anything once. Lol. You may not like it after it goes in your mouth but you give everything a try.

You love to sing! You go around the house singing tunes and it’s the funniest and cutest thing ever.

You can now say a lot of words. You know your foods like bread, rice, juice, milk e.t.c You say daddy and mummy. You call your sis Rayo. I guess three syllables is a mouth full for you. You also know other words like ball, car, toy, cup e.t.c.

You love playing with my IPad. You enjoy watching Thomas videos on Youtube. Whenever you want my IPad, you say.. “mummy Papad, Papad mummy”. Lol. And yes, once I give you the Papad, you know how to stop, start, and choose the videos you want to watch! Blows my mind.

You are so sweet and POLITE. You say please when you want something, you say thank you, and the other day I sneezed, you actually told me BLESS YOU!!! I almost cried!!!

You know the tune to your abc’s! Your favorite part is L,M,N,O,P. You always scream P!!! It’s pretty funny. Yesterday night I was singing “Jesus Loves Me” to you and when I got to “Yes Jesus Loves Me, Yes Jesus Loves me…” You started singing that part with me. Totally caught me off guard!!! I plan to sing it again tonight and record it so I can have that for keeps. Hopefully you cooperate.

You love being outside. There are days we get back home and we have to make sure the garage door is down first before we take you out of the car. Whenever you hear let’s go outside, you get so excited and run to the door!

During the day, you stay with your nanny whom you love oh so much! Once you turn 2 in August, you and Mo will start going to a new school together.

You love books. You normally grab one off the bookshelf in your play room, run to sit on the couch and act like your reading. Good job!

You enjoy brushing your teeth which is quite surprising to me. And of course, you absolutely love bath time!

You wear size 2T and you’re in size 5 diapers. I honestly can’t wait until you’re potty trained! Your nanny is trying to make it happen. The other day, she sent me a pic of your #2 for the first time in the potty! I was thrilled! I still have Mo’s first #2 in a potty saved. The pic that is!! Don’t ask me why.

You still enjoy drinking milk from your sippy cup but these days when you do, you want to hold your PP while drinking. It has become a little issue so I have you back in onesies now so you can’t get to it! You also where full onesies to bed because you were doing the same thing and wetting your sheets every night because your PP made its way out of your diaper at night. Constantly washing your clothes and sheets is not my idea of fun baby boy!

After only having 8 teeth for forever, you’re now getting a full mouth of teeth. Molars and all! Yay!!!

You are not a loud baby at all. You are quiet but very mischievous. We have to really pay attention to catch your naughty ways and boy… you can be very naughty!

You started climbing out of your crib, so daddy took the front part off and now you can get in and out on your own. We actually have you coming out of your crib on video! It’s pretty awesome!!!

You fight with your big sis A LOT!!! You two are constantly at it and I feel like this is just the beginning!!! When you guys love on each other though, it’s the sweetest, sweetest thing EVER!!!

You love you some daddy. There are days when you’d rather have him carry you instead. You always love to jump on him when he’s in bed. And nights you make it to our room, you sometimes want him to put you on his chest. It’s really sweet to watch.

You love to kiss mummy… and I mean KISS mummy. You pull my mouth to your face and you literally try to eat my face. LOL! You think it’s hilarious.

Last but not the least, when we pray at night, I always look forward to hear your Amen! I can’t emphasize enough just how cute and precious it is!

There’s a lot I’m leaving out on the wonderful little man you’re growing up to be, but these will have to do for now. We love you Demi.

Happy 21 Months!!!
