Mr. Davis

20 months old

25 # 12 oz.

Not sure on the height, but he is in the 90th %

Don't let that sweet smile fool you, this boy is a mess! Just kidding, he is pretty precious, just full of energy and getting into everything.  Presently, he loves to swiffer the floor, or should I say swing it around his head and hopefully he misses mine, Grace Ann's and Henry's heads.  

His favorite things right now are:

• dump trucks, trains, and well, basically trucks
• playing outside and going down his three step slide
• playing pretend "trick or treat" with his plastic pumpkin
• he likes to use sidewalk chalk to decorate our house and furniture, I enjoyed cleaning that mess up today
• loves his brother and sister to pieces 

His accomplishments are:

• being independent and wants to do most things himself
• can use the spoon and fork by himself, but still messy
• talks and talks, uses 2 and 3 word phrases
• likes to say down, when he means up (mostly when he is on the stairs)
• pretends to stand and go potty like his big brother and he gets so proud of himself, even when he is not going to the bathroom
• can point to things and tell me what he sees or hears, especially the loud Air Force planes
• can feed Oscar, supervised of course!

I have really enjoyed this stage with Davis because he is just into exploring his world and loves to just be included in what we are all doing.  Despite his will to "do" it his way, he really is pretty easy and most of the time happy.  These last two months he has gotten 4 new teeth, so that has been difficult for his sleeping and for his parents!  But I think it on the downward slope, so hoping sleep resumes to normal.  

 

I can't wait to see what this month and the holidays will bring us with Davis! I hope he likes Santa Claus this year!
