My baby is 21 mths old. I can not believe how fast the little guy is growing up. He has such a funny personality. He is always happy and smiling.   He is finally really starting to talk.  He was doing really well, and then took a 5 mth hiatas :)
Some of his new words in the past few weeks:

Bible
Bubbles
Uh oh!
Oh No!
No!
Dada (already could say it, but now says it all the time and to Shane)
Ice
Slide
Yellow
Baby
Doggy
cookie
cracker
sucker
Meme (blanket)
Papa
Mimi
Dirty
pee pee
poo poo

There is so many more, but I can not think off the top of my head.  

You are obsessed with baseball. You actually can hit the ball when thrown to you.  You have several bats, balls, batting helmet. Your favorite is a short, red bat that Carolyn gave you, and a small basketball. When we throw it to you, you swing your bat and hit maybe 15 % of the time. It is really cool. I still havent caught it on video, but we are so proud of you. You are proud too, and get really excited.   I think you would play baseball all day if we let you. You are always carrying your bat and ball.  You have a ball pit that you love to play in as well. It is a messy toy, but you love it, so it is worth it.

You also love to watch Yo Gabba Gabba!! It is your favorite tv show. You sit quietly and watch it and jump up at times and dance.  It is cute!!

You LOVE hats!!! You want to wear them ALL the time. One day, you put one on before we went to school, and you would not take it off. You wore it to class and kept it on all day! They said you even slept in it. HA!!

You are having better days at school. You are finally adjusting to being away from Mommy. It is a nice little break, but I admit, I sure do miss your smile, and laughter.  You have two sweet teachers.. Ms.Shannon and Ms. Leslie. They are both really good with trying to divert your attention.  You sleep like a big boy on your nap mat.  It is so cute to walk into the room and see you and your little friends snuggled up on your mats. Precious!!
Next week is Costume parade at school. I am looking forward to dressing you and Hayden up and seeing you guys march around!

You can climb to the top of the big slide structures Papa built. It always makes me nervous, but you do such a good job.  You sometimes even get to the top of the wavy slide and hang from it like a monkey. You are so strong. It is crazy.

You love your puppy, Sandy. She likes to give you kisses, and you just laugh and giggle.  You are getting much better at petting her instead of swatting her.

We go on alot of bike rides and you always enjoy sitting back behind mommy. You are not crazy about the bike stroller, but I think you will get use to it the more we use it.  It was a bit bouncy the other day when daddy took you on an adventure with the big kids.

You wake up every morning, ready to see EVERYONES faces. You look eagerly around wanting to see everyone. You also are ready to eat breakfast (yum yum) first thing.  Little Piggy!

You let us know when you have a dirty diaper.  You either say, dirty, pee pee, or poo poo.  When you toot, you think you went potty, and say "dirty". It is cute!! I probably need to start potty training with you, but I think we will wait until after the holidays. Too much going on.

Your birth mommy is doing well. She finished school and is looking for a job so she can make a home for you guys. She loves you, and has really shown more devotion lately.  

Anyways, my little love. I am so thankful to have you in my life. You are so special, and have been such a blessing over the past 21 mths.  Looking forward to more special memories with you.

Love, Mommy Misty
