21 months old!!

Yesterday was Nico's 21st month....so Peter and I decided to go out last night and celebrate!

21 month update:

Height: 34.25'' (almost 3 ft tall)

Language Skills: Super chatter box and record player....REPEATS EVERYTHING. I've caught him a couple times trying to sing: Twinkle Twinkle little star (mainly just TWINKLE TWINKLE), Do Re Mi..., and the ABCs.

Favorite Word this month: NO...so we made a deal with the 4year old neighbor...He gets a penny every time he gets Nico to say YES, so far he has earned 15 pennies.

First Spanglish phrase: MAS PLEASE, however he's been full of little phrases like:

oh no, aww man, go heat, silla roja, excuse me, plus some other ones I can't think of now...=( 

There has been an excessive amount of wining....which we think is due to being frustrated since he can't get us to understand or get what he wants. We are trying to teach him more words everyday and remind him to use the words that he does already know to express himself...but he tends to opt for the screeching option.

Eating Habits:He really is HIT or MISS these days with food. Some days he won't eat too much and then the next he'll eat and then keep asking for MAS! He has started to successfully drink out of a cup...WITHOUT pouring it's contents all over himself.

Sleeping habits: He's pretty much sleeping through the night but often that means that he is UP EARLY! He's gotten into a good nap habit...of sleeping at least 2 hrs in the afternoon. During that time I've been working on my book...and i'm not going to lie, the days he doesn't nap....ARE ROUGH!! 

Other Stuff:

•  He says HI to everyone we see. 
• When he hears the computer (Skype) ringing, he turns, drops what he's doing and says HUELO (abuelo)....which melts my heart! 
• We had to drop the crib to a NEW LOW (which peter had to create) since Nico had decided that he wanted to start climbing OUT of his crib...with this adjustment, we should be good for a couple weeks...maybe months, but soon we'll have to start checking out toddler beds!!!!!!!!!! (he's growing up too fast!!!)
• While we are at BootCamp, he copies A LOT of my exercises, and makes the other moms laugh...I love when he works out with me =).
• Last week Peter dropped him off at Daycare and he DIDN'T CRY!
• At night before he goes to bed, he runs out to the living room in his "almost too small--again" pjs and gives me a kiss and says nigh nigh.
• Nico got a haircut today =) 

Happy 21 month Birthday Pumpkinhead!
