You're doing great with walking and keep getting faster and faster. You still don't run, but Momma is okay with that. You did a ton of walking in Disney and also love going to the mall just to walk all around. You still can't climb up things and don't know how to go up or down stairs yet. When you get to stairs you will stop and either say, "Help" or "Ca". "Ca" is your word for "carry".
You talk quite a bit, but still don't say many words correctly or completely. You do lots of first syllables for words still. Some of your newer words are cool and wow. It's so funny to hear you say those. It's been so fun to hear you talk about our trip to Disney and tell people how you saw "Mou" (Mickey mouse), "Goo" (Goofy), "Pooh", and "Tig" (Tigger). You can't say an "f" sound, it comes out as "sh" every time.
You continue to amaze people with your knowledge of number, letters, and shapes. You can count to ten without any help and can also recite your alphabet with only a little help. Colors are probably your favorite because you point them out all the time. In fact, you like to walk up to strangers and tell them what color they are wearing. You are also really good at identifying and naming shapes.
You are still really liking trains right now. You enjoy playing with all your new Thomas stuff from Christmas. Your favorite Christmas gift though was your car ramp. Another Christmas gift that gets a lot of use is your IKEA table and chairs. You like to sit there and do puzzles or eat your snack. It's been really neat to see you start developing interest in certain things. You get so excited for certain things and will let out the loudest squeal. We heard that squeal so many times at Disney and it was absolutely priceless! You have also developed a new fondness for our pastor's daughter, Mackenzie. She's always helped out with you a lot Sunday mornings, but now you get so excited to see "Zie".
I mentioned in your previous update that you had started saying, "No". Now it usually comes out as a string of no's. It can been pretty frustrating at times to hear you saying "no no no" over and over again, but I just keep reminding myself that it's part of your increasing communication and that it's only a phase. You can also get pretty whiny so I'm hoping that's just a phase too.
Most of the time you are super sweet though. You were fantastic on our trip to Florida. It was our last flight with you as a lap baby and you were wonderful. You are almost always happy in the car and you also love your stroller. I'm so thankful you're such a happy little guy.
I've started working on your 2nd birthday party. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be a construction theme and you'll have fun playing with all your friends. We are trying to get you to hold up two fingers instead of one now when someone asks how old you are, but haven't had success yet. We'll keep working on it!
Momma and Dada love you very much! We will especially remember this past month because of our trip to Disney. You are so much fun and we can't imagine our lives without you!
Love,
Momma

We were able to get a good picture before this happened:
He's also really into wrestling right now! :)
