21 months..... Those Three Little Words

I was worried that the older Easton got the less I would have to blog about. Not that I don't find my child extremely blog worthy, it's just I thought the learning/growing rate would slow down. Boy was I wrong. He has come leaps and bounds since just last month.

On my last blog I posted how he thought every color was yellow. It wasn't probably a week later that we were playing with a caterpillar he has. The feet have about six different colors on them. Easton named every single color and now he knows all his colors. His vocabulary has grown tremendously. He has said several 6 word sentences. He gets the talking from his mommy. He can also count to ten but will not do it on command. Actually, the only reason I know that he can count that high is because I heard him playing one day and he was counting to himself. I have heard him do this numerous times but if I ask him he will not do it at all. So who really knows what all my child can do because he sure hasn't clued me in on most of it.

A couple of weeks ago I finally heard those three words that I have been working so hard to get him to say. He said "Love you mommy". I thought hearing him laugh was a wonderful feeling but hearing him tell me he loves me just completely melts my heart. I know I say all the time what a stinker he is (and he is) but he is still the sweetest, most cuddly little fellow I know. He will wrap his arms around my neck and just hug me so tightly and then give me a kiss on the cheek. I was so afraid that he would grow out of this stage but so far so good. Will still do our nightly cuddles on the couch. About an hour before bedtime we lay together and he drinks his milk while simultaneously playing with my hair. I just love my snuggle bug.

We are very excited for the summer! We have several birthday parties to attend, lots of mommy and E time, and plenty of swimming to do. For now, I will leave you with a few pics.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!
