Joey: 23 Months

Joey is 23 months, standing strong at the 22 pound mark. Luckily next month he has a doctor's appointment, so we can see exactly how much he weighs and how tall he's gotten.

Joey's verbal skills have grown more conversational - "Mommy, come here." "Daddy, sit down." "Want to go outside?" "Daddy's at work." He's building 4-5 word sentences consistently. He really seems to understand more too. I will give him options to let him choose and he will select something (shirt, book, etc.)

We've still got a picky eater on our hands. He still won't touch veggies (although they are still offered twice daily). He is sticking to the same main items.

As far as sleep habits are concerned, we're still at the one solid daily nap and continue to struggle with waking in the middle of the night and getting him back to sleep in him own bed. I hope he outgrows this stage soon. =)

Joey's walking has improved greatly. He doesn't really walk anywhere anymore, he runs. He's becoming more independent and doesn't really want to hold our hand, he'd rather do it himself.

Pictures with the chalkboard are continuing to be a struggle. I will have to think of something different for the next twelve months. =)

Learning to Count

One of Joey's favorite books is "Ten Little Ladybugs." He loves counting the bugs in the book from one to ten!

Cousin Fun

Joey and Eli had a blast playing with Eli's new toys after the birthday party.





Eli's Birthday Party

Joey's cousin Eli turned one earlier this week, so we headed down to Houston for little Eli's first birthday party at The Little Gym. Poor Eli wasn't feeling very well, but was a trooper. Joey had a blast!

Playing with Big Boy toys

Joey's of the age that we can start playing with big boy toys. Today, we broke out some toys my sister got for Joey a while ago. He loved watching the gears spin round and round. It brought us both hours of fun on this hot afternoon.





Jump!

Joey's been trying to jump lately. In one word - hilarious!

Little Man's Chair

I saw the cutest little chair in a recent Toys R Us ad and couldn't resist. Little man had to have it. =)


Had to include this too - my little ham is saying CHEESE!
