Nonetheless, here's what our little toddler has been up to over the past month...
1) Wearing size 24 months-2T clothing, and size 5 diapers. Big foot just moved up to a pair of size 7 Nikes!
2) Still has yet to receive that first haircut. I still can't part with those adorable curls...
3) Has become more consistent about sleeping through the night. Currently, sleeping from 8:30 to 5:30 (maybe 6:00 or 6:30 if we are really lucky). We've been limiting his naps to roughly 2 hours during the day.
4) Uses a pacifier at night.
5) Also double-fists 2 Gosig dogs while going to sleep.
6) Language continues to evolve. Micah gains what seems like a few words every day. He is also starting to put two words together to make fragmented sentences. For example, last night my parents came for the night. I was upstairs folding laundry when they arrived. They asked Micah "where's Mama" and he responded "Mama clothes". He's also verbalizing our different possessions - Dada boat, Mama car, Mama shoes and describing objects - big truck, school bus, black car, etc. I love his high pitched little voice.
7) Climbing all over everything. At the park, he climbs ladders with our assistance. Thankfully we don't have a chain link fence at our house, as Micah already climbs up on our fence. He can also hop with both feet off the ground.
8) It's a jungle in here! Micah has several animal sounds...Monkeys, Bears, Sheep, Cat, Dog, Bird, Owl, Rooster, Snake, Cow, Elephant.
9) When seeing a TV, Micah will ask for Elmo. Yet, he's doesn't sit and watch Sesame Street for more than 5 minutes in the morning.
10) Has a much improved attention span at our Friday morning ECFE "Bearly Toddler" class. Will actually sit for circle time which he was not able to do when we took our last class in January/February.
11) He really seems to love his daycare, which makes me happy. I'm thankful for the consistency in his classroom, as there seems to be a lot of drama that has occurred amongst the staff in the past few weeks.
12) Favorite foods include oatmeal aka "An-meal". Micah will eat 2 packets of it in the morning. Pasta is always a hit, and like his Dada, this boy loves pizza. He continues to develop a sweet tooth. After seeing his pregnant momma eat candy corn, he's hooked too. Thankfully stores only carry that junk 1 time/year.
13) Change is hard for Micah at this age. He hates having his clothes changed, especially having to change out of his PJ's in the morning. We give him choices, let him pick out his clothes, and still on some mornings it takes 2 of us to get him ready. I'm hopeful that this will be a short-lived stage.
14) Also dislikes having his coat or shoes taken off. He often will wear his coat for a good half an hour upon coming inside before letting us take it off. Last Sunday, he refused to take it off in the church nursery. And, it's all coats - not 1 specific one.
15) Sat on the potty for 15 minutes earlier this weekend. He is still yet to go on it, but we're gradually making progress.
16) Loves Brutus - the poor pup has been ridden and received numerous eye exams and dental exams over the past month. He's also received a fair share of hugs and snacks, so all are happy.
17) Interest in books has decreased
18) Would rather "cook" in the kitchen or play with trucks/cars/his train set. I'm looking forward to upgrading to some more age-appropriate toys, but space is limited right now in our current living arrangement.
19) Still would give up playing with anything to help me unload the dishwasher. He's getting great at knowing where things go, and it's nice for me to not bend over.
20) Is such a handsome little man! This age has been one of my favorites!!
