22 months...

We almost have a 2 year old! Ian is 22 months old today. Some things that Ian has been up to this month:
- He got a ear infection and still has fluid in his ears. Hopefully the next appointment they will be cleared up
-He likes speech, and is getting more comfortable and saying a few more words
- He has started saying no: "dough dough", when I say all done he says "don don", he says "num num" for yum. We have also been working on using his sign language a little, and eye contact when we talk to him. He is getting better at it all.
- Still loves Mickey, and does a hot dog hot dog dance
- Loves to color and says "ca ca ca" when he does it. So sorta sounds like color color.
-Loves to eat chocolate, anything sweet, watermelon and all other fruit , marshmallows, gold fish, fruit snacks, mac and cheese,  meat, cheese and drinks whole milk like it's going out to style. He is overall a great little eater.
-Ian loves being naked. We always find him with his clothes off.
-We officially  moved him to an actual toddler bed today. He has been in his crib with the side off, and has done really well. It does take him a little longer to fall asleep, but other then that he does great.
-Ian loves to read books. One of his favorites is his "head, shoulders, knees and toes book. He does the song along with the pictures. He usually just says and points to his "hea, and to" for,  head and toes,  it's super cute cute.
- He has finally gotten use to our PS I love you group. His teacher came and told me the other day he was doing so well, and we even laughing and playing with the other kids instead of waiting by the door for me.
- He likes nursery, but his favorite part is playing with the toys. He is not into the singing time or lesson time so much.
-He likes to play with his animals and barn, his car track, throwing his ball around, or riding his bike or little puppy around.
- He loves bath time, combing his hair, brushing his own teeth, and getting lotion or hand sanitizer put on his hands.
- For some reason Ian gets all his energy about an hour or two before he goes to bed. He runs around the house like a wild man.
-Ian loves to do things he knows he is not suppose to. I think he does it just to see my reaction.
- Ian is a adrenalin junkie. He loves being thrown in the air, jumping off anything high, or doing anything daring. I am surprised we haven't been to the ER with this little guy yet . (knock on wood) :)
-Whenever we are cooking in the kitchen he likes to empty out all the pots and pans and hit and bang on them. I think he thinks he is cooking too.
-This little boy loves being outside, but what little boy doesn't. I am excited for it to get warmer so we can be out more.
-He has an obsession with all his blankets lately. He has to have almost every blanket he owns in bed with him, and in the morning they come to the living room with him. Even if he has to drag one at a time he gets them all to and from his bedroom.
Ian your Dad and I love you so much, and are so happy you came to our family. We can't believe you are almost two, and enjoy watching you grow and learn. You make us very happy, and we love to spend time with you. Sometimes we lay in bed at night when we can't sleep and talk about how we need to wake you up to play. We can't wait to see how what a good big brother you will be. We know that you will take care of your baby sister Chloe. We love you baby boy.

Ian loves eating watermelon.
