1 nap a day.. usually 2 hours long. Sleeping from 9pm-7am.. if we are lucky.

This month has been a big jump from toddler to little boy that wants to get his way. I knew it would happen at some point... I will fondly remember the days when he would follow all my commands with no question. Now...everything is questioned unless it's his idea. We no longer have a baby...we have a boy with his own mind and idea's. It has taught me how to compromise and not sweat the small stuff.

But that's what we want... our kids to push back.. ask why and challenge us. Right? Remind me of that if you see him at the park in pj's because he refuses to get dressed in the morning. 

Talking up a storm and starting to count... 1-10 on most days...you always leave out 6. 

You like to eat grapes straight from the frig.. all we do is open the door and you go to town. When done you close the door and go on playing.

After dinner you are just tall enough to put your plate in the sink. Lets be honest.. any trash goes in the sink.

Everything is the color blue.. we are working on it!

Football and baseball are your favorites right now. You yell "RUN" at the TV no matter who's playing. 

Playing catch is special time with you and dad. Every night you two will throw the real baseball back and forward. It's probably the best part of the day.

Time out has been used a few times when you aren't very gentle or sweet to Halle. 

What a fun little boy you are!! Everyday I see you growing up a little and getting ready to take on the world.
