TODDLER LIFE | 28 MONTHS

TWENTY EIGHT MONTHS

 

I'd like to say that we are marking this day with giggles and grins, but we are not.  Conner is entering his next month with a fever and puking to go along with it.  That poor kid.  He is the sweetest thing when he does get sick.  He just wants to cuddle and sleep in your arms non-stop.

 

But despite the rough day he's having, I can't help but note that he is another month older.

 

 

Toddler Talks

The speech from this little boy really slowed down this month.  Like progressed backward almost.  In the past month, I was only able to get him to say one new word which was "bus". However, now that we're back in daycare, he's a talking machine!  There's still a lot that I can't understand, but he is definitely trying to form sentences.

I guess we just needed to get him back around other kids to give him something to talk about.

 

Toddler Play

We started daycare again this past week, so his excitement to play with other kids has grown leaps and bounds this past week.  I admit, it was difficult to get out of the house for play dates during maternity leave since we're in the cruddy winter months.  His social time was pretty limited to just the kids at church and occasionally a friend or cousins.

He still loves his trains like something fierce.  From the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to sleep, it's all about the "Choo-choos".  He has a little bucket that he puts all of his trains in and carries them around the house since there's too many to carry by hand.

We also got him his own little "laptop" by LeapFrog that he loves playing with.  Joe and I act like it's a treat so he gets excited.  We get excited because we really love how well the LeapFrog brand works on his letters and vocab.

 

Toddler Eats

I feel like we will forever have a boy that eats small amounts of food non-stop throughout the day.  Standard meals still aren't his thing.  We've been playing around with different smoothies this month, and let me tell you, that boy will eat a mixture of anything.  In an attempt to clean out the fridge, I blended up some celery, broccoli and spinach and that boy drank it down.

We are really looking forward to summertime and fresh garden produce.  Conner still loves fruits and veggies, and I can't wait to have them readily available.

 

 

Toddler Sleep

Ah, my little boy.  He's still the best sleeper in the house. There's not much to be said when you have a little boy the does so well with his bedtime routine every night.  Now if only I can get him to sleep in past 5:30am.
