23 Months Old

 
Clothes: You wear size 18 month tops and anywhere from 12 months to 24 month shorts.  18 and 24 month shorts we have to roll once or they fall of your butt. You do have one 24 month top and it almost falls off your shoulders.
Shoes: You still wear a size 4 shoe. You have tiny feet, but they motor REALLY fast:)
Diapers: Size 5 diapers.  We had to buy some special nighttime diapers because you were leaking every night.
Sleep: You are a great sleeper with the random night of crying and wanting Mom.  Usually that is because you are getting a tooth.  We snuggle on the couch or you reach for me and say "rock".  How can I resist little man:) You sleep a solid 12 hours at night and nap usually about two hours.
Teeth: 14, but pretty sure some are coming in.  I can't see and you won't let us look. 
Traveling: We went to Jamestown  and spent a long weekend there.  Dad was gone at Synod Assembly and Papa had a surgery in Bismarck so Mom went out there.  You get SO hyper anytime we go somewhere different or people visit the house.  We can't even see because you are a blur running around so fast.  
Talking: You are talking quite a bit more.  You say so much that we can't understand, we know that.  Occasionally we can make out just what you are saying.  It's so fun for us because every once in awhile you will say something and it is so clear when usually it sound like gibberish.  We cheer and you smile;)
Favorite Activity: Your favorite things to do are push your Thomas the Train bike up and down the sidewalk.  You smile and look back at us with a face of pure joy.  You also LOVE the iPad and you ask for it by pointing and saying "I, i, I". Last, but not least you enjoy sitting down and being read to or reading on your own/us. We also caught you plenty of times pulling out all of your cars and the car track from under your bed.  You are starting to like cars a lot!
Favorite Books: I can't say you have a favorite right now.  You'll sit for almost anything and have been able to sit for longer books.
Favorite Foods: You still love peanut butter and fruit. Sometimes you surprise us and pig out at a meal, but most times you just graze. Some days you will eat your veggies, but most of the time you won't.              
Foods Dislike: Veggies!
Favorite Songs: You like to sing ABC and make up your own tunes.  It's really funny when you try to sing the Daniel Tiger theme song. Just tonight you were trying to sing the "pick up, pick up" song when we picking up your toys in your room.
Dislikes: Diaper changes and when we won't let you go and sit on every house's front steps.
Favorite Word: "Ya" We will ask you questions throughout the day to see if you want to do something or eat something and you always have this 2 second pause and then you say "ya", but it's so funny because you have this mono tone and flat affect when you say it.  It's funny!
Things we are learning: You are mostly learning how to communicate better with us and getting us to understand what you are thinking about or wanting to do.  You point, try to say the word or sometimes just whine.  We are still working on more body parts.  All you want to do though is point to your nose and say nose:)
Kieran, we can't believe you are going to turn two in one short month.  We will celebrate your 2nd birthday in Moorhead at our rental house.  We will be there about a week and a half so your Curious George Birthday Party will have lots of boxes around and have a strange surroundings.  I can't believe our baby is truly a little toddler and turning into a little boy.  We love you so much!
