Mommy Post

(this is purely for my own "documenting purposes", so that I can look back and remember)

I have 23 more days until I have a two year old.  Wow. 

At nearly two Cade:

• tries to identify the color blue...sometimes, he'll get it right and I think "YES!" and then he points to something red, yellow, orange, green, or purple and yells "BYOOO!" and I think, "dang it, a fluke."  
• loves fruit snacks, applesauce, and chocolate
• always asks to watch a "wee-wee" (movie) on daddy's iPad
• sleeps 12 hours at night and takes a 1 1/2 to 2 hour nap in the afternoon
• loves balls.  Loves to catch them, to throw them
• can build a sweet tower with blocks, likes to color (mainly draw circles), and work on puzzles
• says, Mommy, Daddy, blue (byoo), Jackson (Ja-Ja), Jesus (Gee-Gee), hi, bye-bye, police car (wee-wee), movie (again, wee-wee), truck (beep-beep), cheese (deeze), please (pyease), balloon (bayoon), bubbles (bu-bu), bottle (ba-ba), no, Noah, Phoebe (bee-bee), baby, Danielle (da-wa), booger (boober), dark (dah), star (dar), hand (ha), dirty (di-dee) stinky (dee-dee)
• loves basketball (he calls it ba-ball)
• helps Mommy wash the dishes and make the bed and always takes the garbage down to the street every Thursday

At nearly 10 months Jackson

• kills balloons.  Expertly.
• crawls and wants to stand up so bad, but can't quite yet
• loves baths, carrots, yogurt, pizza crusts, and pretzels

• has 6 teeth
• EATS everything.  Still.
• wears 18 month clothes, and has a few 24 month stuff
• gets comments all the time about his pretty blue eyes
• flirts, and he's good.
