Today is the last day without Lincoln. It's been a fun week but we're excited to see the little booger! So I thought I'd do an update on my little Noah Jack:
Sleeping: this has been the interesting one. Not sure if he's in a major growth spurt, but this week has looked as so - I have to wake him up at 10:30, he takes a 3-4 hour nap after lunch, then goes to bed at 8:00. That's a lot of sleep (even by my standards!).
Eating: the pickiest, food-snob on the planet right now (or so I thought). Would only eat fruit. I seriously felt helpless. Then this week, I let him sit at the little table Lincoln sits at (instead of high chair) and he has eaten every morsel of food (even all veggies) that I have given him. Guess he just wanted the freedom??
Talking: He is a much better talker than Lincoln ever was at this age. He has even said "What is that?" a few times (I swear - my sister heard one of them and was thrown aback). But the every day ones are "my paci!", "bobble" for bottle, "ba" (for bath), "bye", "daddy", "mommy", "papa", "mimi", "benny", "Bru" (bruce), "do" (dog), "baw" (ball), "more", "cacka" (cracker), "no", "ank-yoo" for thank-you, and then the funny thing is playing the mimic game where you get him to repeat your word. He can almost always repeat it! So funny cause, like I said, Lincoln was not this way. I felt like Lincoln's language would NEVER develop!
He can sign more and thank-you, though he prefers to just say it. Silly guy.
Loves: Outside. Anything outside. His milk. His blankie (this one's pretty hilarious). Playing "couch", gathering things and compiling them in buckets, then dumping bucket and gathering more things...over and over...balls. he said "ba-bal" for basketball and "fu-ball" for his football yesterday. Our dogs - well, any dog for that matter. Cuddling while drinking his milk - i LOVE this. BATHS. He will start tugging at shirt and pulling down pants when he decides he wants one. The water. He's gonna love the pool this summer! Playing chase with Lincoln.
Dislikes: getting his diaper changed. getting out of the bath. When we leave him. When I give him veggies. When it's time to come inside. When Lincoln takes his toy.
He's still a pretty even-tempered guy. He doesn't really throw tantrums yet and if he gets upset he's the easiest thing in the world to calm down. I know our time is coming (Lincoln was late on this, too). Though he doesn't have the crazy extroverted personality Lincoln had at this age, he's definitely getting a pretty stinkin cute one. He's just the fun-loving toddler right now, usually with a smile on his face and giggles all around. Love this little guy.
