20 months

Multiple times a day, you want to hide under a blanket and want to say "hush hush hush" over and over again.

We used to never be able to keep your helmet on, now you love to wear it walking around. 

We gave the garbage man cookies a week ago and every time you see a garbage can you shout "cookies!" 

You still love stuffed animals and will take them out of the basket and give them huge hugs and say "aww" while patting them on the back.

I love your hugs because it always includes getting multiple pats on the back.

You always offer a sympathy cry when other kids are crying around you.. this whole having a newborn sister thing might be interesting. 

I love to listen to what is on your mind when you wake up. A lot of times you'll say "ohhhhhhh sailboat" or "ohhhhhhh choo choo."

I have a bin of clothes that I borrowed from a friend. You are obsessed with taking off the lid, saying "shirt" and putting them around your head and walking around. You cried when I wouldn't let you wear one into Bible study on Tuesday.

Today you found a long pin in dad's old stuff and you said "oh a truck!" You climbed on top of a box of paper to look at our dresser. You saw a dried small rose in a picture frame and you said "oh a mouse!"

Almost every day you ask for pancakes for breakfast. 

You still love to cook, but really enjoy pulling out spice by spice saying "this is.." and waiting for me to tell you what it is. You also think the honey bear is the best thing ever. 

We've been reading a book called pumpkin faces a lot. There's a witch in the book that I told you is a  silly lady with a mouse on her head. Even though she has warts on her face and it's really a rat, that is your favorite page and you laugh every time you see it. 

You've discovered that the easiest way to get me to turn on the computer is by asking to "print" I thought you just wanted a lot of coloring pages, but I think it's just an excuse to look at the computer screen.

You say the word "dong" a lot which sounds like down. It pretty much as 50 different meanings. More, next song, done, you name it. It's a catch all.

When you really want something you have the best pleading voice. Pineeappplee or luuuuuunch.

Basically, I love every day with you.
