You are officially out of the "teen" months and into the "twenties." It's crazy to me when I think about the fact that you're only 4 months away from being 2. I really have no idea how that is even possible!
I feel like you've learned so much in just the past month! I can see you turning into a little boy instead of a toddler. You just seem so much older. You continue to practice your colors all day, every day. You like to point to things and tell us which color it is and also sign the color. You've learned a few more colors this month and can now recognize and say (and sign) blue, green, orange, yellow, purple, red, pink, brown, black and white. You have officially transitioned from saying mama/dada to saying mommy/daddy. Now when you wake up we hear you yell mommy or daddy, until we come get you.
You have learned to call Emily by her name. You call her "Emmy." All day we hear "Emmy, Emmy." You always want to know where she is and you get upset if she's upset. Don't get me wrong, you two love to push each other's buttons and often times have trouble sharing with the other, but I know you guys love each other so much! You can also say your own name.
Starting this month you have really begun to play more independently. You don't need mommy or daddy playing with you at all times. Up until now you could care less about the tv, but starting this month you've begun to show more interest. You like watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Chuggington and the Chica show. You do not like Sofia the First, which of course happens to be your sister's favorite show.
You still love to read books. Your 2 favorites are Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Goodnight Moon. You say their name when you are looking for them (Brown Bear and Moon). Starting this month you have begun playing Peekaboo Barn and The Wheels on the Bus on my phone. You love it and will constantly say "animal" and "bus" over and over again when you see my phone.
Unfortunately, you are still in the hitting phase. We've asked at school and they say you don't do it there, so I really feel like when you do it at home, you aren't trying to be mean. Instead I think you think it's funny. As a result, the timeouts have continued. We've had to move timeout to the pack n play in the guest room because you won't sit in the corner.
Your vocabulary continues to grow each month. You can now say several 2 word phrases. . ."all wet, all done, bounce house, more fruit, etc." You are still completely attached to your lovey and paci. You can now say "lovey" which is helpful to let us know what you want.
As with every month, your appetite continues to be hit or miss. Some days you won't be the least bit interested in meals and other times we can't give you enough. Fruits and veggies are still your favorite. You love sweets! Whenever you tell us you want a snack (you say "snack"), you immediately point to the candy and suckers. That's all you would eat if we let you.
You had your second case of strep this month. I'm really hoping this doesn't become an ongoing issue like the ear infections.
Happy 20 months, little man! Love you!!
