Pretty please, if you think I'm even the teensiest bit cute, or you like to visit here very once in a while, consider donating to this worthy cause. It's really easy to donate online - they even take PayPal. Even $5 would get me closer to my goal, and I'd so appreciate it.
Just CLICK HERE to donate!
Or? Come and keep Mommy and me company! If you're a local friend, JOIN OUR TEAM and walk, too!
Anyway, moving on...
How has it been a month since my last check in with BabyCenter?! Mommy was still answering "19 months" when people asked my age as of Friday - and my 20 monthday was yesterday! At this rate, we will blink and I will be 2!
I haven't had a weigh-in recently, so while we *could* go visit Dr. Andy, maybe we'll leave him alone for a while and just not know my exact weight. I'm wearing mostly 18 month clothes, with some 12 month shirts leftover from the fall. My shoes are size 5.5, and I've *finally* moved on to size 4 diapers...
The other major change this month is my appetite - I'm eating real meals on a more regular basis, and while there are still some times when I turn up my nose at lunch, more often than not I'm gobbling up my food. I *insist* on using my own utensils and feeding myself, with varying degrees of success...
Finally, I am even *more* assertive in my ideas and demands. Mommy is
So, lets check in with BabyCenter and see how I compare to the other toddlers my age:
Mastered Skills (most kids can do)
- Feeds doll - Mommy *almost* got a picture of me feeding a piece of banana to my roll-y crocodile {while murmuring " yum, yum"}, but, as per usual, she was just a touch too slow.
- Takes off own clothes - Yup.
- Dumps an object in imitation, such as throwing garbage away - My great *joy* in life is putting objects in containers.
- Learns words at a rate of 10 or more a day - 10+ a day?! That seems like a lot! I can repeat a whole bunch of words, but Mommy's not sure how many I'm adding to my useable lexicon on a daily basis. I *do* come up with things she never would have thought I knew regularly, though.
- Can walk up stairs (but probably not down) - I love stairs! Love. I could spend the entire day going up and down the stairs in our walkway, if Mommy would let me.
- May start exploring genitals - That's a little private, BabyCenter. I think I will decline to respond here because this seems like the type of information I will regret putting on the internet in a decade or so. (Ummm, also? Is this really a "skill?")
- Draws a straight line - No. hahahahahahaha. No. I barely even scribble - I guess I'm not destined to be an artist...
- Names several body parts - Definitely. I'm all set for Simon Says or the Hokie Pokie. I even know random ones like "elbow."
"(Ummm, also? Is this really a "skill?")" Hahahahaha I laughed and laughed when I read this!
ReplyDeleteHow is it possible that you're 20 months?!!? It was just your 1st birthday like two months ago! EEEKKK!!!!
