25 months

All of a sudden I am struck with how many of the things he says are correct, appropriate, relevant, and timely. It's so fun to watch him becoming a rational person with valid ideas.

I gave him a banana muffin for breakfast and he said, "mama 2 fuffins." I obliged and without prompting, he said, "thank YOU!" and gave me a big cheesy smile.

I laid on his couch for pre-bed story time last night (zzz) and he proceeded to come place appx 10 books on my lap. He then went into the kitchen, brought Chris in his room and had us both sit in the precise spots he wanted, sat in the middle of us, and listened to one page, then got up to continue gathering books, showing his stuffed animals and dancing. He's such a performed.

He loves to play "Your turn!" When music comes on he will dance for .5 seconds and then point and say, "your turn!" and go around the room to everyone.

He has fallen back in love with his babydoll and always wants "baby Nuk" for the BABY. Sneaky Pete has clearly realized an extra baby Nuk around means more Nuks for him. He tells us "baby sleeping" and "baby milk" to care for it. Pretty sweet.

As soon as the coffeepot beeps in the morning he smiles and looks bright and alert and says "Mommy coffee!"

He feeds Mookie about 50% of the time now, and actually gets the food in the right bowl and not on the floor. Chores are awesome.

I love this age. He's enough baby to still cuddle with me, smell sweet and need his parents, but big enough boy that he can walk places, communicate his wants and his attention span is up to about 25 minutes.
