27 Months

2 years, 3 months! What a big boy you are now. Every single time you get one month older I say that it is the best time I have with you and this month is no exception. You are now understanding so much and we have actual fairly complex conversations that surprise me. Actually, I think sometimes that you talk too much. There are moments when you literally talk and talk and talk and talk and ask questions and ask more questions and I say to you "Ian, mommy needs quiet time please". You always want to know where daddy is or what he is doing and say "where daddy mommy". Then you answer your own question and say "at work". When you are coloring on your magna doodle, you talk the entire time and it is so cute hearing you describe what you are "drawing" - "eyes, nose, mouth, monster". You also read stories to yourself and beginning to make them up though they make no sense whatsoever :) Here is a list of your current favorites:

Toys: cars, trucks, blocks, magna doodle, drums. Most mornings you wake up and ask me to play cars with you.
TV shows: Alladin the Disney movie, YoGabbaGabba, Olivia, Fresh Beat Band
Songs: Itsy Bitsy Spider and The Beatles
Books: Where's Elmo's Blanket, On The Night You Were Born, Goodnight Moon, ChickaChicka Boom Boom, The Very Hungry Caterpillar You actually love most of your books.
Food: chocolate, pizza, mac and cheese, rice and beans, pancakes

My Sweet Boy!
