One more month...

This big boy will be two! This last month has been full of changes for Moses. He has gone to the potty twice, but has since lost interest. I am going to work on that more at the end of August...maybe. Also, no more crib. He started climbing out of the pack and play at my parent's house and then his crib when he got home. He is now sleeping in the toddler bed. It is going SO much better that I thought it would. I listened to some great advice and we do not insist that he stay in his bed. He has actually fallen asleep in it a few times but usually crashes on the floor. (There are just a few stuffed animals that he can get to.) He cries a little when we leave him, no more than he did when he was in a crib. When he is asleep we put him in the bed and he is good till the next morning. Naps are shorter but I think in a few weeks it will even out. I am SO proud of him for doing this well.

He is also talking up a storm! He is speaking in sentences. A lot of his phrases are:

I want... (rocky, cheese, cracker, etc)

I like .... (chicken, cookie, Buzz)

Silly...(Buzz, dog, daddy)

Love you daddy!

Catch fish, papa!

There are probably a lot more but those are the ones he uses the most. He is getting SO smart. He'll try to distract you with one thing so he can get to something else he's usually not suppose to have. He has become much more obedient (jinx!) when we tell him he cannot do something. Honestly, as family we don't ever really eat out much so I have kept my promise about never taking him out to eat again, ha!

Probably the biggest thing in Moses' life right now is Toy Story. Buzz Lightyear is his most favorite thing in the world. He gets to watch the movie once a day, usually while I am cooking dinner. He does not move. He laughs and talks to the TV. When we go to Target, we pick up a Buzz toy and it rides with us in the cart. (We have explained to Moses that Buzz lives at Target and we put him back and say goodbye before we leave.) We are thinking mommy and daddy might pick him up for Moses birthday.

I am so happy we have such a loving sweet boy. Everyone who knows him just adores him and he seems to love people too. We love you buddy and can't wait to celebrate two years of Moses in just a few short weeks!
