Toddler K: Month 13

Mommy is really having a hard time keeping up with these updates.  I'm going to try my best to document on here because I want to remember.  I know I can't record everything but I want to record something.  Just reading my old posts brings me back to the little moments we shared in the past.

-Things just keep getting better and better.  Your dad and I love you so much.  It's amazing how having you has changed our lives for the better.
-You took your first plane ride this month and you did pretty good.  We vacationed in Jackson Hole for a week.  Your dad skied but we didn't.  We did get to enjoy some of the other winter activities.  You particularly liked sledding but you enjoyed the sleigh ride too.  You met another little kiddo on vacation and you guys hung out some.
-You actually fell in one of the stores and chipped a tooth.  It's a small chip but I thought I was going to die after it happened.  I felt so bad.  You cried for a little while but it didn't last long.  You're such a trooper.
-You started tantruming this month and it's so hard to not laugh at you when you do them.  You are so funny.  When you tantrum you lay on the floor and whine.  The funniest part is that when you attempt to throw yourself on the floor, you do it so gently being careful not to hurt yourself.  You are a trip.  Thankfully your tantrums are minor and infrequent.  You've also learned that when mommy walks away, she's not entertaining the tantrum so you get up and play.  You are such a smart boy.
-You are becoming a better eater.  I've noticed that you can tolerating eating in the high chair for about 10 minutes then I have to get you out or you wont eat anymore.  Once you're out of the high chair you can eat almost as much as I do.  I guess you get bored easily.  Surprisingly, you like milk.  You also like water.  You'll drink almost anything out of a straw (for a few seconds).  I think you like the idea of using a straw so you'll drink initially but when you realize it's not a beverage you like, you'll stop.  You're a bit of a feisty little guy and spits out whatever you don't like or throws it off the high chair.
-You've been saying words like dada, mama, lila aka eliza, no, uh-oh, da aka dog, up, bop (?).
-You love to point when you talk.  You also like to take my hand and pull me to where you want to go or what you want me to do.  Your personality is definitely shining and I love it.
-You like going to daycare.  When we pull up to the door you start smiling really big.  You get along with your two daycare friends.  The daycare provider seems to love you.  You make her crack up.
-Of course, you are still sleeping great.  Surprisingly you slept great everyday on our vacation too.  Naps are a challenge because you want to be social but bedtime is great.

You are such a cute little stinker and we love you so much.  My heart is filled with so much love for you.  I feel so blessed.
