May 2nd – 20 months old!!



Dear Landen,

This certainly has been a big month for you!  Lots of really fun exciting things happening.  First and foremost, your vocabulary has EXPLODED!!  You have easily doubled the words you know and there are new words emerging every day.  Mommy made this Piggy Word Bank for your daycare folder so Mimi and Lolo would know what you were trying to say to them.

Along with all your new words, you also learned several new body parts: fingers, butt, hair, and knee.  Even more exciting for Daddy, you’re sleeping through the night again!  Hallelujah!!  You even slept in until 8:00 am over one weekend.  Mommy bought you a new toddler memory foam pillow and you love it.  Mimi has been having you take naps in your playpen again and you’re doing well.  You fall asleep within 10 minutes and barely cry.

You are finally comfortable at speech therapy. No more crying when we first get there.  You make some attempts at words but you are not as talkative as you are at home. You see Ms. Karen on Wednesdays and Ms. Jennifer on Fridays.  You like to throw items in the basket while we’re shopping.  Mommy appreciates the help but she has to be careful what she gives you because you chuck everything in there whether it’s fragile or not.  Speaking of shopping, you’re going to bankrupt us in berry costs!  You were on another berry binge this month.  In one weekend you ate an entire pound of strawberries and a clamshell of blackberries!!

We periodically find you spinning in circles, then you stop and feel dizzy, recover, and then move on to something else.  It’s too funny!  You’ve also starting screaming for fun.  It’s quite loud and makes us jump when we aren’t expecting it.  We took our second trip to the zoo this month along with some of Daddy’s cousins.  You roared like crazy when we saw the tigers!!  You were definitely more into the animals this time than on our first trip.  You also liked to get out and push the stroller instead of going for a ride.

We love how much you’re communicating with us now and seeing your personality emerge more and more. You light up our life!  Love you!
