20 Months

Breeson is 20 months old today.
He's active, lively, strong-willed, observant, and a mama's boy.
His vocabulary is getting bigger. I believe he's learned a lot of it from being at daycare. Here he is trying to say "thermostat". Not sure why, but he really likes that word for some reason. ?!

Speaking of daycare, he still occasionally cries when we drop him off.
Although it's gotten much better in the last month.
As of late, he's become a real mama's boy and clings to me - which can be very exhausting!
He still loves to read books. He enjoys watching Sesame Street, especially Elmo.
He's become more active in "playing" with Sadie
His favorite things:
anything Elmo, Juice, snack time (in which he says "i need a nack"), balls, baths (depending on the day), Sadie, books, taking his vitamin gummy every day, chapstick, and his blankie.
B never took a pacifier or sucked his thumb, but he's become real attached to his blankie. If he doesn't have it, he'll eventually ask for it. He really likes sniffing the tag. !? Weird kid.
We've recently started doing "time-outs" due to his strong willed/disobedient attitude. I caught him this morning telling his animals they were in "time out". :) This is his usual spot.
He has to stand there with his hands to the wall. It's hard not to laugh when he's in time out sometimes. He just looks at you though and cries and it either breaks your heart or you wanna bust up laughing. A coworker told me her friend used to use a chair and she called it
"the chair of poor decisions". Pretty funny, yet wise.
Otherwise, we talk to B alot about becoming a big brother but he still doesn't seem to get it. He still gets super jealous if I hold another kid/baby.
We're hoping to get him settled in a big boy bed soon so that we're completely adjusted to that before May rolls around.
Personally, it's not getting him to go to bed and start off sleeping in it that I'm worried about, it's him getting up around 5ish and wanting to be out of his room. As it is right now, no matter what time he gets up in the morning, we don't go in his room until 7. So he knows he just has to stay in his crib and talk to his animals or roll around until 7.

Well...it's almost 9, so that means Sesame Street is about to come on. So I better get going...
