August is 20 months old!
At 20 months, August:
Teeth: 13 (top 2 canines about halfway through)
Loves:
- Mama—attachment has increased since being sick this month
- Climbing
- Pushing and climbing into baskets
- The 4 Bs: balls, bubbles, bears, balloons
- Cheese & ketchup—what mama uses to get him to eat protein/veggies
- Being silly and making us laugh
- When sissy does silly stuff
- Doing everything that Scarlett does
- Looking for the moon at night
Dislikes:
- Getting nose suctioned
- Getting hair washed
- Sharing mama’s lap with Scarlett
- When mama is busy and can’t pick him up
What’s New:
- Moved into our new house!
- First time sick:(
- Took second trip to Disney/Villages/Universal
- Increased ability to communicate wants/needs and likes/dislikes. For example, when he was sick this past month he touched his throat and said “Ow, hurts” prompting me to take him to urgent care to find out he had strep (or something similar).
- Is a parrot and repeats everything you say
- Putting more and more words together into simple sentences 3-4 words in length
- Really drooly lately as he continues to work on new teeth
- More and more curious—wants to be included in everything
- Copies what Scarlett does more and more
Memories from August’s 20th month:
First snow of the year!
It was snowy and Scarlett was sick on mama’s birthday so we spent the day snuggling, reading, and watching Mary Poppins:)
Last time playing at the “little park” near our apartment in St. Charles.
Spending the day at grandma and poppy’s while mama and dada move/unpack everything in our new house.
First official night in their new house!
Sporting sissy’s old pajamas because moving=laundry gets delayed a bit 
Thanksgiving at Grandma and Poppy’s with Aunt Jess, Liam, and uncle Greg.
Magic House fun with Liam!
Celebrating Grandma’ birthday at the new house with everyone:)
Loves eating out of bowls like sissy
Big boy sitting at the table!
Helping put the groceries away.
Poor baby not feeling well:( Mama doesn’t mind the extra cuddles though:)
He wasn’t really excited about the present from Mickey Mouse—we had just gotten back from urgent care to find out he had strep:(
A few highlights from our Disney trip:)
Fun in The Villages visiting Grandma and Poppy!
Last stop: Universal!
It was a month of high highs (moving to our new house, Florida trip) and low lows (being sick) but it was altogether another amazing month with our baby boy!
