22 Months old

I forgot to do this post, I know I haven't been consistent but it's fun :)

Christopher turned 22 Months Old on the August 14th.

This photo is from that day and says it all!

And for comparison...

August 14th, 2009 10 Months old

Christopher is doing so much.

-He can (obviously) climb onto and off almost anything.

-He's starting to reach places that were "out of reach" before.

-Based on our home scale he is 26.5 pounds.

-He can walk up and down steps while holding onto a wall. Our daycare's steps are short, about 4 or 5 inches. This morning he walked up them without holding my hand, all by himself :)

-He's still getting changed on the changing pad but is not only getting too long, but wanting to get changed standing up more. So we bought pull ups for those occasions (it's hard to diaper a standing toddler).

-He can count to three without assistance, higher if doing it with me...

-He can identify probably more than half the alphabet. He loves it, shouts out letters in signs as we are driving around. His absolute favorites letters are O and then R which he says like a pirate. Arrrghhhh!

-He is signing more

-He is talking more and more, and more and more sentences. "Where did dad go?"

-You know we are potty training because Mommy and Daddy make announcements "I'm going potty!" Then he leads the way to our bathroom and points to the potty "Potty momma" then waves and says "bye bye" as the water flushes down the toilet.

-He is mainly eating anything. It depends on his mood, sometimes he's picky, sometimes he's a little piggy :)

-He is great with the dogs and they are great with him.

-He can also feed himself with a fork and spoon (unless he gets distracted)

-He dances :)

-He has discovered the word "no"

I know there is more, but that's all I can think of right now.
