It's hard to believe Harrison will be 2 in just 4 short months! We see some signs of the "terrible 2's", but nothing too major. He usually forgets about whatever he was throwing a fit about pretty quickly provided we change the subject.
Just some odds and ends:
-He has recently become a little obsessed with Dora, Diego, and Team Umizoomi on Nick Jr. He will ask for these pretty much anytime the TV is on. At least they're educational!
-He knows his colors. He can point to all the "normal" colors. He says and identifies blue, yellow, and black all the time, sometimes purple, and he is working on green and red.
-He has started trying to sing with me at night when I put him in bed. It's pretty cute :-)
-He loves being in Kinley's room. If Tim and I are in there working on things, he will bring his toys in there to play.
-He is working on learning his letters. Tim does letters with him in the tub every night (we add a new letter each week), and I know Mama C works on them at her house too.
-He has gotten really good at identifying animals and objects in his books. He doesn't always say what they are, but he can point to what you ask him to.
-He occasionally tells us when he needs his diaper changed (even though he HATES having it changed). I asked the pedi at his 18 month appointment about potty training. He suggested waiting until after Kinley is born unless he started showing interest. He doesn't really show any interest, but he tells us sometimes! At least that's a step in the right direction!
-He tries to put his clothes and shoes on, but doesn't quite have the hang of it.
-His vocabulary is growing more and more every day!
-He's really into putting his toys in other toys and under furniture. He frequently fills up his shopping cart with toys, brings them to the living room, and switches them to the storage compartments in his cars. The other day he piled a TON of stuff under his high chair.
-He's been sleeping with a small toddler pillow the last couple months. He loves it. He either snuggles up against it or lays on it like a normal pillow.
-He has started to not want to get out of his crib in the mornings. He wants to stay in there and play and jump around. After a nap is a different story though. He wants out of there ASAP!
-Meals are still pretty hit and miss. Some days he eats great, and some days he doesn't. One day he may eat a certain food, but if you give it to him 2 days later he might not eat it.
-We are successfully down to 1 nap a day! It's not quite as long as we would like it to be, and the time he goes down varies a little from day to day. We try to stick with getting him down around 1, but it might be earlier. The other day he fell asleep in his high chair while eating lunch.
