Steven at 20 Months

*Catch up post, January 2013, 20 Months

Favorite Things:
You still love to sing songs. We've caught you singing to yourself in the car a few times. You're favorites are Old McDonald and Itsy Bitsy Spider.

You will "read" books to yourself now too. For a few months you would turn the pages and look at them yourself but now you will point to the animals and make their noise. You'll also point to random objects on a book and shout out the name (probably bc that's what we do with you when we read those books.)

You love to wrestle on the bed now. You love to roll around and pretend to steal "daddy's pillow!!". You learned how to pull out a container we have under the bed to get yourself up there. You'll sit up there and say "daddy's pillow!!" and wait for him to come in and find you. Its so cute!

You've gotten obsessed with a new Disney movie this month, The Lion King. You love the intro and will stand with your hands above your head for the part where they hold Baby Simba up. Its SOO cute!

New Skills/Tricks:
You are getting so smart. You can remember things that we are so surprised you even notice! Mommy dropped a stocking holder on her foot in front of you one day (and managed to not cuss!). A few days later you saw that stocking holder on the table and said "mommy hurt".

Another thing you've started noticing when I'm in my gym clothes you put together where I was and say "mommy gym".

You've started to engage in some pretend play this month. You'll put your toys to "night night" and give them kisses and a blanket. You like to play with a kermit pez dispenser you got for Christmas and put it to bed too (kind of random).

Vocabulary:
You've started saying more 3 word sentences such as "Where are you?"  "How are you?"

This month when we call your name sometimes you'll say "huh" or "yeah". LOL

You've bumped up your pretend phone conversations this month. You'll say "uh huh grandpa play hello bye". Or one of your favorites is to walk around the house with daddy's phone at your ear saying, "hello yes, hello yes".

When you want to be picked up you'll say, "mommy hold you". Its so cute!

When we are leaving often you will say, "bye bye later" for bye bye see you later.

Big Events this Month:
Its been so cold this month we've been staying inside most days. You love hanging out with family and we've gotten to see a lot of them lately!
