23 Months

I wasn't planning to post a "23 Month" post... but this morning my "baby" looked so big and was chattering up a storm and I told B, "Can you believe he'll be 2 one month from today?" And Brycen said- "No, I think I'm going to puke, my brother can't be TWO!".... that made me rather nostalgic this morning! I can't believe he is going to be two... TWO! That's really not a baby anymore... and I have to quit counting his life in months.

He is SO rough. B has always been all boy, but Corbin he just takes it to a whole new level! I think a lot of this is that him and B play together so much and wrestle do other boy things like that together and B is seven and Corbin is (almost 2) so it makes him hold his own more... where at that age B was rough housed so much b/c it was just him. Whatever the reason he is definitely the roughest little boy I've ever met!

He can destroy a room in 2 second flat and I'm not exaggerating!

He does seem to have a great memory. While I'm folding laundry he will pull out each item and say "Daddy's" and put in a pile and "Bubba's" and put in a pile etc... for each item! Ryan can't even tell half of our family's clothes apart so this is pretty impressive to me!

He really likes to "draw" and "color". It's one way I can get him to sit at the bar for a few minutes while I try to get supper going. He did write on the wall in Brycen's room for the first time this weekend though :( (hopefully the last time!). Thankfully, it was in pencil so I could just erase it!

He already loves guns and loves to shoot Daddy's buck that hangs up on the wall. I remember B starting to do this-- it just seems like yesterday!

The boy LOVES to eat and drink. He's going to be as tall as me before kindergarten at this rate!

He loves to be outside and this warm winter has been perfect for allowing us to still enjoy time outdoors. So glad for that!

He loves to give Bella treats and will scream until we let him if the back door is opened! Poor Bella is going to get fat with all the treats she gets!

He likes Chuggington now! He got some Chuggington trains and tracks for Christmas and loves to "pay choo choo" (play choo choo) :). Brycen still likes trains and Chuggington as well so this makes for a good activity for them to play/watch together.

He does pretty well at sleeping in his big boy bed now- he has been sneaking in our room most mornings about 4am, but I can't say that I mind the morning time snuggles before my alarm goes off because he is a MAJOR Daddy's boy and I have to take all the snuggles that I can get.

He hasn't gone on the potty yet, but numerous times he has said, "I wet", and I've felt him and said, "No, you're dry- do you need to potty?" And he said "No". From now on I will take him straight to the potty because I think this has happened 4 times that he's somehow got his diaper half off and peed through his pants and made a huge puddle of pee on the floor right after that!

These are just a few things about our boy at 23 months that I thought I should document for myself. Next month is going to be emotional with our boy turning the big T-W-O!
