Dear Christian,
Happy Twenty-One
month birthday!
Twenty-one month
statistics: Weight: 31lbs 6 oz. Length: TBD inches. Diaper Size:5-6 Clothes: 24
months – 2T.
The word of the
month is Choo-Choo! A couple weeks ago I bought a little wooden table with
storage stools at a garage sale for $20. We put it in the front living room and
brought up the tracks and trains. Your brother never really embraced the train
thing, but you just love them. You love
playing trains and carrying them around. You also love reading train books. Two
in particular are your faorites: A Crack in the Track (a Thomas book) and
Chugga – Chugga Choo Choo by Daniel Kirk. We read them over and over and over
and over again. I love watching you make the sign for train and pointing to
other pictures you recognize.
Like your
brother (and mom and dad) you love to read! Just the other day you wandered
into your room and pulled yourself up into your rocking chair and just started
reading quietly. By reading I mean flipping pages and talking to yourself in
gibberish that we can’t understand. Check out the 21-month pic. My little reader – and check out the adorable overalls that Grandma made for you!
Speaking of
gibberish, your language skills have certainly expanded this past month. So
many words: chair, sit, surprise (yes, really!), brother (but you don’t say it
often), poop, five, and lots of others. You love to give high five, followed
immediately by fist bump. You are quite discerning though. We were at Robek’s
the other day for our post hair cut smoothie and you refused to give a fellow
customer a fist bump.
The past few weeks you seem to be napping better. Like I
said last month, most days of the week include a 1 – 2 hour nap. That said,
last week we had three days in a row with no nap – zero - none – nada! Ah! Thankfully, we seem to be
back on track.
We are looking forward to camping at the end of the month. I
hope you have a good time.
Lots of love little one.
Love,
Mama
