We've been so busying with selling our house, moving to an apartment while we found the perfect house to buy, finally buying a house, and now unpacking/starting home projects. Xavier has grown so much since my last post. Mainly, he's forming more sentences, playing independently (finally!!), and pretending/make believe.
At 2 years and 3 months, here's a few things he has done lately that are so adorable:
1. He wakes up every morning requesting either a "ih-a-men woll", "wa-full", or "pancake"!
2. For a snack, he likes to eat Cheerios and share them with me. He will put a pile of Cheerios on the couch first for me (so polite!), then a pile for himself. When he sees my pile getting low, he will say, "Want more?", divvy out more for me and say, "Here you go, Mommy." His little voice is so sweet and high-pitched, I don't ever want it to change!
3. When I tell him I love him and go in for a kiss, he pushes me away and says, "No thank you". He's so polite about it!
4. After playing with his toys, before moving on to something else, he says, "Clean up! Clean up! Clean up!" and runs around the room, putting his toys away as fast as he can. The first time he did this, it was so hilarious because we didn't know what he was doing (babysitter taught him). It's fun to watch him put in to practice at home the things he learns elsewhere.
5. Last week, Xavier was getting in to a little trouble, playing with things he wasn't supposed to and not listening. Steve was on the verge of putting him in time out. Well then, Xavier managed to squeeze himself in between the chair and end table, looked up at both of us, and said, "Hey Guys" in the sweetest, matter of fact, little voice I've ever heard. Xavier never got a time out that night ;)
We just wrapped up Thanksgiving and I didn't put out a single holiday decoration. And the neighbors on our street put up Christmas lights last weekend, thanks for rubbing in how far behind I am! Hopefully, for Christmas, I find the energy to put up at least Xavier's Christmas tree, and FIND MY FLAT IRON!
Cheers!
