20 Months

Will is 20 months old and growing like a weed!  I can't believe that in a few short weeks we will be welcoming Will's little brother or sister into the world.

At 20 months:
  • Will says 2 and 3 word phrases.  Most common are "more please",  "what's that",  "where's daddy", "hi/bye momma/daddy", 
  • His vocabulary is growing and growing. 
  • Animals are his most favorite thing.  He can tell you what the dog, cat, cow, pig, horse, bird, owl, sheep, tiger, bear, and dinosaur say.
  • I love when we leave to go somewhere he always says "Bye, Bye Dog" and "Bye Meow".
  • Will is a picky eater.  His favorite foods are grapes, strawberries, bread, eggs, and cheese.  He asks for a banana, but won't eat it if you give it to him.  I think he just likes to say "nana".
  • Everything round is a ball.  Doesn't matter what it is.  You can correct him a hundred times, but the round thing is still a ball to him.  
  • Will is the class bully.  He is a big time biter, but only at school.  I'm definitely ready for him to grow out of this stage.  
  • Knows the word "NO"  really well and will tell it to you frequently.  He will let you know when he doesn't want something or doesn't like something.  
  • Says "amen" at the end of his prayers.  So sweet.  
  • Will look at my belly and say "Hi Baby."  We tell him frequently that a baby is coming.  He knows the nursery is the baby's room and when he sees the swing and bouncy seat he says "baby."  Hopefully he's starting to understand more.  
  • Loves to walk around the house with pictures of people he knows and say their names over and over.  His favorite are "Daddy" and "Pop."
  • Loves his new room and will tell you when he is ready to go "night, night."  He's a great sleeper and napper.  
  • Is the highlight of our lives and will be a great big brother.   I am so excited to see these two together.
We are so thankful for the almost two years that Will has been with us.  I can't believe that it's been that long and that we are so close to giving Will a sibling.  Time flies and I just wish I could slow it down a little bit.  Pat and I are trying our hardest to soak it all in and enjoy every minute of it.  We know how lucky and how blessed we are!
