M's 20 Month Update

My sweet little Matthew will be 2 in less than 4 months - where has the time gone???  The past 2 months have gone by so quickly and he is learning so much.  It seems like in the last 2 weeks, he has just started learning at least one new thing every day.  Especially new words.  He is to the point where he will not stop talking - it's adorable and hilarious!  He has done so very well with this new transition since Samuel was born.  He spends his days at daycare, which he loves.  On the weekends, we go as a family to see Samuel and Matthew gets to play on the playground.  He already loves his brother and will go to his pictures around the house and say "Bro" - melts my heart!  Here are a few highlights for my 20 month old:

~ You are still wearing size 3 diapers.  They still fit and it's an easy way save money!

~ You are wearing 18-24 month clothes.  Most of the 18-24 month pants are a little long still, but you'll grow into them.  It'll be a while before you can wear 24 month or 2T clothing.

~ You still love books!  You'll look through and pick out your favorites for us to read.  You've even started "reading" more on your own.

~ You're talking up a storm.  If your not squealing and laughing, you're talking to mommy and daddy about important things.  Some new words for you are eat "ea ea", milk "mi-eh", Bella, goggles, Bro "beau", book "boop", bump, bridge, wheel, big rig "bb", bus, Elmo, bowl.  I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of right now.  We are working so hard on building your vocabulary.

~ You started 2 adorable games while we're in the car.  The first one is whenever we go over a bump, we raise our hands and say "BUMP"!  The second one is whenever we drive under a bridge, we have to duck.  It's hilarious watching you duck in your carseat as we get closer and closer to the bridge.

~ Your favorite toy right now is any kind of ball.  You love throwing, bouncing, kicking, rolling, anything you can think of.  

~ You're almost done with teething!  You're getting your last canine tooth and then all that's left is your 2 year molars.

~ You love to help mommy and daddy around the house.  You can help with the laundry, picking up clothes, using daddy's tools, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, etc.  I know this won't last, so we are enjoying this now.
