20 Months Old

The boys will turn 20 months old tomorrow – which means we’re creeping close to the 2-year-mark way.too.fast!!

March, to me, always means that spring is right around the corner. It’s the transition time between the long, cold winter & warmer temps. (Although, of course, this year hasn’t been that bad.) I’m starting to look forward to celebrating Easter, taking the boys to the local lamb farm & scoring big at the upcoming multiples consignment sale!

I know parents say this at lots of different ages – but the boys are at such a fun age right now – I’m loving it! They love to try to copy everything you do, try to say new words every day and play & laugh together (which also means fighting too!). Colton has even been attempting & mastering some more complicated words – yesterday it was “applesauce” and he said it soooo clear!

Sleep has still been pretty good. They are sleeping around 11-12 hours each night. They fall asleep somewhere around 7:00 PM. (Our bedtime routine is: bath (on bath night), lotion & jammies, blanket & book.) Lately though, Colton has been waking up a little early around 5:30-5:50 AM. He doesn’t wake up upset though – he is almost always content and usually just talks to himself in his crib until around 6 AM when I go into to get them. Normal wake-up time during the week is 6:05 AM to get us to daycare & work on-time. Wyatt has been waking up early some days & other days he sleeps until I get into their room.

Wyatt
- loves to say “Bu-bye!” to everyone & says it so clearly!
- loves everything Mickey Mouse! We don’t really have the boys watch TV at our house, but I know they’ve seen Mickey Mouse Clubhouse a couple times at Grandma’s and when they showed such an interest in it, we bought a couple Mickey Mouse books (which are their favorite) & ended up buying a stuffed Mickey & Goofy.
- is back to eating very well (after a short-lived picky-strike that only lasted a week or two)
- always asks for his stuffed buck before bedtime, and now also asks for either Mickey or Goofy too!
- still has been favored me even more in the past few weeks, especially when we read books at bedtime
- has 8 teeth (I haven’t done a thorough tooth check lately – so this may not be accurate)

Colton
- is a “master” chef! His favorite toy in our playroom has to be the play kitchen by far! He loves mixing up & cooking everything from water, to tomatoes, to pizza, to burgers for us. He also always has us taste-test his creations – always so yummy!!
- loves everything Mickey Mouse! We don’t really have the boys watch TV at our house, but I know they’ve seen Mickey Mouse Clubhouse a couple times at Grandma’s and when they showed such an interest in it, we bought a couple Mickey Mouse books (which are their favorite) & ended up buying a stuffed Mickey & Goofy.
- remains my picky eater, will even cry sometimes if he doesn’t like anything on his plate but if you leave it in front of him, he will probably start to eat some of it eventually – little turkey!
- continues to have new words everyday - will try very hard to copy any word you ask him to
- always brings his stuffed moose to bed with him; and now will sometimes ask for either Mickey or Goofy too!
- has 16 teeth (I haven’t done a thorough tooth check lately – so this may not be accurate, but I believe all his teeth are in)
