Twenty-three month update


Sammy turned twenty-three months old on Wednesday--is it just me or am I the only one having a hard time believing that I'm going to be the mother of a two-year-old in less than a month?!


Stats: Sammy is wearing all 3T clothing and pajamas and size 8 shoes.  I think he's working on another molar as he's been chewing on his fingers non-stop the past week or so, but I honestly don't know if any have broken through.  We made the switch over to motherease fitted diapers with covers about a month or so ago and we haven't had a single issue since; looks like my super soaker has met his match (knock on wood).  Sammy generally sleeps from 8 pm until 7 am most days and takes an hour and a half nap in the afternoon, although on some lucky days he'll sleep for two and a half hours.


New words/phrases: Sammy's had a veritable work explosion this past month and is picking up an average of 2-4 new words a day.  Here's just a sampling of what comes to mind: bulldozer, dump truck, motorcycle, elephant, puzzle, clean, blanket, share, helicopter, eggs, oval, hexagon and "excuse me."
Other tricks: Sammy knows most, if not all, of the letters in the alphabet, and all of his numbers up to ten.  He also knows most of his colors, like yellow, green, orange, red, purple, pink and blue and can identify and match a good number of shapes, such as square, circle, oval, star, triangle and hexagon.  Sammy has also mastered going up and down the stairs on his own while holding onto the railing.


Likes: Planes, trains and automobiles (along with the occasional boat and helicopter), "reading" books and being read to, dancing to music, drawing and coloring, his fuzzy blankets, bath time, and anything and everything to do with mommy.  Sammy has recently turned into a stage five clinger and will break down if I'm out of his sight for more than a few minutes, much to the chagrin of me and Captain Husband.
Dislikes: Being separated from mommy for any length of time, brushing his teeth, and diaper changes in public restrooms (can't say I really blame him).

It's funny what shapes they fixate on. Maeve loves what she calls an "ah-tagon". :)

I can't believe he is going to be 2. I think the same thing about my kids. I think they all grow too fast!!!

So hard to believe it. Growing up so quickly! Hang in there, I'm sure the clinging is just a stage ;)

He's getting so tall, and he looks like daddy! LOVE his train set too, so neat!

Thanks for sharing,

Oh, I can't believe Sammy will be two! The clinging stage is a challenge, isn't it? It will pass, I promise!
