22 months!

Eating at Astoria

Sean has been speaking new words every day. I don't think I can count how many words he can say! Lately he has been putting words together like More Cheese, or Mommy and Daddy. His enunciation is a little off so a few words like blush and brush sound the same, or duck and dog.

He has been sick off and on since he started school and it is really sad to see him cough or get real tired when all he wants to do is play. I am going to add a pillow to his crib to help him sleep at an angle and am thinking of leaving it there, even after he gets better, to get him used to it. I was going to get a toddler bed, but he has been such a good napper and so content in his crib, now that we added a crib tent, that I am in no rush to move him.

Sean loves to play outside and dance. His teachers even comment what a great chicken dancer he is! Whether we stay at our house or move, Matt and I have decided to get him some fun outdoor toys for the backyard, such as a slide and t-ball set, so he can expend some of that unlimited energy!

Sean wants to read books constantly and tells us the next line in his favorite books. He loves stacking blocks and scooting his stool around to get things on higher shelves. Currently, we are working on numbers and Star Wars characters (Matt's influence there). So far we haven't had any temper tantrums, but I can see the "terrible twos" creeping up as he resists bedtime and has selective hearing when I ask him to do something.

He is a great eater and is starting to develop a sweet tooth ever since the Easter Bunny brought him lots of candy treats. We can take him to restaurants and actually EAT our food while Sean eats and plays in his booster the whole time. He especially loves the Somerset food court and watching the "show" at Benihanas.

Happy 22 months Sean. We can't wait to see what next month will bring!
