22 Months Old!

Our busy body turned 22 months old today!  Time is going so quickly these days.  We have had such a fun month with Logan as he has started saying and doing so many new things.  For starters, this boy's vocabulary development has finally taken off.  He is on fire!  He now "parrots" so many words that we say AND will just start saying a word on his own that he has heard us use over and over again.  I have tried to keep a running list of all of his new words, but I'm sure that I have missed some.  This is what I have for the past month:  light, paint, brush, chopstick (if you don't believe me, just look at what he is holding in the picture), out, boo, duck, fork, pen, blank (for blanket), seal, no, candle, nana (for banana), choo choo, whale, pee, phone, spoon, sock, hat, dad, knife, dirty, amen (after prayers), heavy, noise, help, Elmo, food, Nemo, nunny (for bunny), one, two, three, four, five, big, ice cream, dog, bus, tag, Jesus, yo yo (for yogurt), rock, keys, snow, scissors, smoke, hammer, movie, people, jacket, dark, walk, bag, and box.  Feeeyoooh!  That's quite a list.  In addition, Logan has become fascinated with his sister and says her name ALL the time (ee-yah instead of Lia).  He always calls for her, asks for her when she is not around, or says her name over and over whenever we drop her off at school or at a lesson.  Logan taught himself how to do somersaults and has discovered how to turn on the stereo in his room and does it constantly followed by some dancing.  He still loves having books read to him every day and now insists that I read to him after he wakes up in the morning, before his nap, before bed time, and one or two other times throughout the day if he gets his way. It's pretty unreal.  Logan also loves playing peek-a-boo with his blanket and has fallen in LOVE with Elmo and all things Sesame Street!  He loves watching his Elmo movie, listening to his Elmo music, reading his Elmo books, and points him out whenever he spots pictures of him.  It is so cute!  Our boy is definitely growing up!
