20 Months

Harper is now 20 months! We are so close to the 2 year mark that it scares me!

-He has given up the pacifier this weekend. I was trying to put him down for his nap on Saturday and he didn't want to go to sleep. He throw his paci, so I decided to hide it. He only cried for a few minutes and then fell asleep. That was also true at nighttime. He did throw a fit at his nap on Sunday, but I didn't cave and he eventually fell asleep. Sunday night not even a cry. Hopefully the paci is a thing of the past! I wanted to hold onto it for the drive to Michigan at Christmas, but we will survive!

-He is still continuing to learn more animals sounds. He must be learning some at school, because he knew owl and bee and I didn't teach him those.

-He is constantly learning new words. He even said Thanksgiving as we were walking into church yesterday. Granted he hasn't said it again, but we will work on it more this week.

-He loves playing with our hand-me-down Little People Christmas. He calls Santa-Noah (from the ark) and he calls the reindeer-good girls (dogs).

-He still copies everything that we do, so we really have to watch what we do. I climbed on the fireplace to plug in his horse game into the TV, then he tried it. Not good!

-He has entered the terrible twos. He is all about throwing tantrums. Especially when I tell him no or make him do something he doesn't want to-like come inside. He may throw his head down on the ground, become a limp noddles, bang his head into the wall, lick the wall, bite something including mommy or daddy's shoulder. He also has entered a whiny stage which is a total change of character for him. Hopefully this all will pass soon, it is really testing my patience!
Fun times in the car!
