He is phasing out most of his 18 month shirts. He can still wear most of his 18 months pants and even 2T pants if they have the adjustable waistband. He is pretty skinny. He wears mostly 24 month/2T shirts. He is also phasing out his size 6.5 shoes. He wears size 7 and up now.

Got his first short haircut this month. I love it and think I will keep it this way. He is MUCH cooler. He always runs hot so his head sweats a lot. He is much more comfortable now.

New words this month: (I KNOW I will forget some) Nana (banana), Vrum Vrum (vroom), BungeBob (Spongebob), Bot or Bot bot (robot), eight, fish, and pee pee (does the body part need to be written here? Lol.) He says stuff in "I" form now. If you ask "who's my baby?" he replies "I baby". He also says "I stinky" when he's naked. He still thinks "stinky" means naked. Haha. He still thinks every letter is a "b" and now he thinks every number is an "eight".

When the Dora the Explorer theme song is on he dances and says "do do do do do do do do do do..."

He learned to "pound it" or fist bump this month. He fist bumps everyone that is currently in the room with him once you get him started.

He goes to sleep VERY easily now. We just put him in his room and he quietly goes to sleep. He naps now if he wakes up before 8. If he wakes up late 8, 9 or 10 then, he can last all day.

He is becoming more adventurous with his taste buds. He even ate pepperoni yesterday although he hates meat (besides hotdogs/sausage). I let him pick out his own clothes now. It makes him like his clothes and usually he keeps them on.

He got two teeth this month (upper and lower front teeth next to the 4 he has.)

His new favorite thing this month is cars/trucks. He loves Hot Wheels and other cars/trucks.

His favorite foods are apples and Popsicles (the mini kind).

We went to my mom's house about a week ago and he has this toy there. He has seen or played with this toy in months. The only piece he could get was the circle. He has done board puzzles for a long time but these shapes tripped him up. He was constantly trying to put the wrong shapes in the wrong places. Well, that day he all of a sudden understood the shapes completely. He put each shape in the correct spot like 10 times. We turned the container and everything. He examined each piece and put it in the right spot. It absolutely baffled my mom, Jeannie, Kristy, and I.

He would be outside ALL day long if we let him.

He is still freaking adorable. ;)
