2 more months until 2

Jayden is 22 months old today. That is only 2 months away from the "Terrible Two's". Yikes!!

1. We weighed Jayden and he tipped the scale at 23.5 lbs. Pretty skinny if you ask me! We started to give him a daily vitamin in his milk each morning due to his lack of eating. I am sure he should be getting some anyways!
2. He is still a diaper man--size 4. He sits on his potty when he feels like it. Last week he made it for 23 seconds. He is fitting best into size 18 month clothes, but he can wear 24 months.
3. Jayden is still obsessed with basketball. He often says "shoot it", "yes!!", and "I did it". He just loves sports. He is also in love with his slide "It's my slide" he says when he goes down. He must go down the slide each day when we get home.
4. His favorite toy is a tie between the basketball hoop, the slide, and the ipad. He loves all three. I am sure if he could get away with it, that is all he would do all day. Shoot a hoop, go down the slide, and say names of shapes.
5. He is eating ok. I would like him to eat more, but he is getting better. He runs off every single calorie that he eats. Lucky.
6. He still likes warm milk. Actually, he loves it.
7. The tooth that poked through last month is still working on coming in. We dealt with strep throat last month, but his ears were clear when we went to the doctor!
8. A new trick Jayden has is getting his own shoes on in the morning. He loves his blue Crocs and puts them on each day when it is time to go. It really saves time for me!
9. His sleeping is getting so much better. He sleeps all night and generally 3 hours during the day. The only problem we have is getting him to sleep at night. He likes to stay up to 9, but I would like to see him in bed in the 8 o'clock hour!
10. Jayden has been a talker this month. It is crazy to think only a few months ago he could only say around 30 words and now he has to be close to 100. He knows almost all of his shapes plus crazy ones such as cylinder, octagon, pentagon, and diamond. He knows tons of different animals, but my favorite is when he says "elephant" or more like "elfent". He also knows how to say his name and point to himself, but only does it on rare occasions. He can recognize the letter J, A, and E when he sees his name. Our work on the alphabet will be in full force this summer.

Happy 22 month birthday, Jayden!! Your almost two and we can't wait to see how you are going to grow and change this summer. I am so excited to spend the summer at home with you, go on walks, take you to swim lessons, play at the water park with friends, swing on the swing and slide on the slide and teach you as much as I can and love on you all day! We love you, Jayden!! You are perfect!!
