21 Months Old

21 months have come and gone already...crazy how fast time goes by! There isn't anything huge to report for our little guy this month. He is learning new words and how to pronounce stuff everyday. He is responding more to questions with yes and no answers. He is enjoying playing with lots of trucks and trains as well as coloring and "reading" books. He is still wearing size 4 diapers, however I think we may start potty training in the next few months as he is hiding when he goes poop and when I ask him to change his diaper he goes to lay down right away. He is also wearing anywhere between 18-24 months and 3T depending on the brand and style. We just recently went up to a size 6 shoe. Again depending on the brand sometimes he is still a 5 or 5 & 1/2. He is using utensils to eat food and for the most part does fairly well until he starts playing with his food. Before you know it he has chocolate pudding all over himself. We have taken a time out from swim lessons. I felt that he wasn't learning anything new going to the lessons and since it's warm enough to be in our pool at home we have just been practicing at home. I hope to get him into one of those survival classes come fall/winter and then back to swim lessons after that. We also took our first family vacation to California this month. We went to San Diego for about 5 days. Lots of beach time and a day at Sea World. He loved seeing all of the animals in the tanks but not so much the shows. He also loved the beach! He was laughing so hard once he got comfortable with the sand and water. He would crack up from the waves "chasing" him. It was such a great trip! Next year we are planning to go to LEGOLAND. Just a few short months left before I have a 2 year old running crazy around my house. I love it though and am so ready for another baby...
