So, my little man is 20 months old...although everyone thinks he is older. I haven't kept up with each month's progress/events since he was really little. I wish I would have.
Rylan, here are some things you have been doing recently:
-Repeating a lot of things we say and repeating everything we say with emphasis, example, "dang!" We have to get better about what we're saying around you.
-You hate wearing body suits now, b/c you love feeling your belly.
-You have hated diaper changes in the morning for at least a month now...you refuse to get out of your crib b/c you don't want to get it changed.
-You have escaped from your crib a few times in the last few months, but haven't tried this past month for some reason.
-You would drink your milk from a bottle all day every day if we would let you. I had you happily off the bottle at 11 months, but pulled it back out at a year in order to bribe you into drinking whole milk. Well, from 12 months to 19 months we gave you a bottle right before bed and thankfully now your bottle is a thing of the past. Well, until Cullen gets here at least.
-You have went from 2 naps to 1 nap in the past couple of months. You sleep for about 2 hours.
-You love covering yourself with blankets, "blanky" and pillows. And you love climbing onto our made bed and pulling all the covers down and throwing all the pillows off and snuggling down for 5-10 seconds at a time.
-You've been wanting to be held more often. I'm not sure how easy it's gonna be to hold you as my stomach continues to grow.
-A really funny thing you've started to do this past week is get annoyed at my belly when you're sitting in my lap. You get frustrated after a little bit and keep trying to scoot back, but there is no where to go. I try and move you back onto a pillow with your legs still in my lap, but you get mad and plop back down on my lap and push your butt into my belly.
-You usually say, "bless you mommy" when I sneeze which is freaking adorable.
-You LOVE being outside...I'm pretty sure you would live outside if we let you.
-You love riding in the truck with daddy on the console around the neighborhood...there's a part of me that doesn't know what to think about that. But, daddy says I don't trust him enough with you, so I have to pick and choose my battles. And you do love it.
-You boss the dogs around and say, "Boyths!"or "Boys!"and you sometimes say, "Away!" or "Go away!" But, you love them very much too and give them kisses and love to play with them and chase them. They like the attention most of the time, but not always.
-You have become very interested in bugs..."big bug" and want to find them and sometimes even touch them.
-You LOVE bath time and you think it's funny to splash water out of the tub and on mommy which really isn't as funny as you think.
-You sometimes mimic when people laugh even though you don't know why they are laughing.
-You love when daddy tickles you.
-When you're in the mood to give kisses...you GIVE kisses. Yesterday, you pulled my face to yours for a long kiss. That was a first :)
-You have only said, "I love you" once in the last few months. You said it quite a few times when you first learned how to say it, but I guess you want to reserve it for special moments.
-You love fries most of the time and "a sip" from whatever we are drinking. We think it's really funny when we go through a drive-thru and once the food is in the car you say, "fries." What makes it even funnier is that your car seat is still rear-facing and you can't see what's going on.
-You are really comfortable around everyone. You are shy sometimes, but it doesn't take you long to warm up to people. This makes me happy, although we'll have to talk about "strangers" when you're a little bit older.
-We haven't started "potty training" yet. We'll probably try the weekend method once we have a free weekend...maybe sometime in May. You haven't shown much interest in the potty yet.
-Oh, and you love playing in my girly stuff (mousse, gel, brushes, etc) when I'm getting ready.
I could go on and on I'm sure...that's what happens when you haven't written down each month's events I guess.
Rylan, you bring our family so much joy, contentment and laughter. You are so silly, fiesty, sweet and stubborn. We know you are going to be a great big brother!
Here are some recent pics :)
