20 months.....

Rosson turned 20 months a couple weeks ago....can't believe it. I say this every month when either of my kids turn another month older but it's true. I was just talking with some friends today & we were talking about as we get older, time just goes by faster. It feels like they are growing up so fast & they haven't even started school yet so I know it will feel even faster when that happens. Until then, I'm enjoying every minute!
This sweet boy is a ball full of energy, let me tell ya! He is going non-stop all day long. He's constantly throwing things, banging on things, hiding things (I have to check the trash can often cause he throws stuff in there all the time), jumping/stepping off things....you know the things that boys do. I haven't weighed him in several months but he's probably between 35-38 pounds & wears a size 8 shoe.....I know! It's the same size as Jaylen's! He loves "Mo" which is milk & carries his blankie around like Linus from Charlie Brown. He goes down for his nap & nighttime very easy....loves his bed. Sleeps like a champ & wakes up happy & that makes me happy!

He loves getting into water, either in the sink.....or the toilet. The bathroom doors have to stay closed but he's just about perfected getting those open. He climbs up on the toilet, gets on the counter, turns the water on & plays. When we visited Gavan in Columbia, he crammed a bath towel in the toilet, shut the lid & left it for me! Luckily, the toilet had been flushed before he did that. I feel like he's been teething since he turned 1 cause he's constantly chewing/biting on things but he's got all his teeth in & is ready for his 2 year molars. He loves playing outside & swinging in his swing but with the mosquitoes & heat this summer, we haven't been able to do this much.

He jabbers all day long so combine that with his sister (if you know her, you know she's not quiet!) and the volume in our house is always on high! He says several words like mama, dada, jayjay, mo (milk), again, blankie, paipee (paisley our dog), papi (paci), oh man, bye-bye, love you & push play (when he wants to watch a video). His personality is so fun & really coming out. He squeals like a girl when he gets really excited & his belly laugh is pretty funny.

I asked Gavan the other day what we should do for his birthday party. We were thinking about what he likes right now & he said, "He doesn't really like anything, he's just a little monster" so we're doing a monster party! He just likes to get into everything & create more work for me!

He's my sweet little man who I wouldn't change for anything. We matched this day so Jaylen snapped a pic of us.
