20 Months Old Today!

 

Our cute boy turned 20-months old today!  It's hard to believe that his second birthday is just around the corner!  Logan's vocab development finally started to pick up this past month as he learned and started using several news words.  These included nut, shoes, poo poo, rain, clock, eat, more, cheese, night night, owl, moon, apple, wee wee, and he howls like a wolf, roars like a lion, and bleats like a goat or sheep.  He will sometimes also say the ABC's with us by repeating one letter at a time.  The cutest development of the month is that Logan will now cross his arms whenever we say a family, meal time, or bedtime prayer.  It just melts my heart.  Sometimes, if you look at him during the prayer, he will keep one arm crossed while waving to you with the other one.  Ugh.  Logan also continues to LOVE his comfy cozy blanket and loves cuddling his stuffed animals--both big and small.  He has a super cuddly side to his personality and usually can be found toting his blanket and one or two stuffed animals around the house with him (see the pictures above).  He also still loves being read to and would seriously spend all day in the recliner chair in his bedroom if someone was willing to sit next to him and read stories the entire time!  Not kidding.  The not so fun development of this past month is that my fabulous eater has started to become finicky with meats and vegetables.  I absolute LOATHE this stage as it really stresses me out when my kiddos don't eat their dinner.  Lia entered this stage (with meat only) at 15 months and it took quite some time before she outgrew it.  Logan took a few extra months to enter this phase, but is now going strong.  It's such a shame as he literally ate anything I put in front of him since we began solids at five months.  Hmph.  Hopefully he will grow out of this quickly.  Ron also taught him the knuckle bump and he will now readily do this after giving you a high five if prompted.  Logan continues to be a very active boy who loves machines, pushing buttons, and getting into everything.  He has been known to completely dismantle the family room in a few minutes if given the opportunity.  Oh dear.  Needless to say, this little one sure keeps me busy, but I love him to pieces!
