Akoy has finally got kissing down. No more open mouth kisses! He loves saying prayers at meal time and we can usually find him trying to say a second or third prayer. He gets impatient with us while we are setting the table. Bed time prayers are my favorite, after prayer he will run to me and give me a great hug and kiss then do the same for Bryson. Sometimes we make it give us more hugs and kisses. He has been going to bed with less tears but plays for at LEAST an hour.
New favorite song is Old McDonald. He loves singing the E-I-E-I-O part. I'm pretty sure he sang it last night for over a half an hour. I picked up an Old McDonald popup/music book today. He loves playing the song and making the pig hide behind the gate.
He is starting to LOVE stories, and I am so happy! I always try and read to him, but he hates sitting still until recently. He loves climbing on the rocking chair and reading a few stories. Going to the library has gotten a little better :) He carries books all over the house. He calls them stories.
Akoy's new favorite game is to hide things. He covers things up with his hands or blankets or anything and says his version of 'where is it' then says 'there it is' It makes him so happy! Whenever we ask him where things are he always puts his hands up and says 'I don't know!' with arm actions and all!
He has a few more words, but mostly he has been speaking more clearly. He still doesn't put words together but is getting there. He has started saying mommy really clear. He used to just call me ma, or something that sounded like monies. I love it! I make him say it over and over then smother him with kisses and tickles. He thinks it's pretty funny. He is also attempting to say other words. It's a start for our late talker :)
Akoy is OBSESSED with candy. He can hear a candy wrapper from a mile away. Once he starts he just wants more and more!
He has grown up so much! He loves drinking out of a regular cup at the table. He likes to pull a real chair out to sit and it. Not a fan of his high chair anymore. He would help himself to whatever he wants in the fridge. After a few juice spills, we added a fridge lock :)
Akoy has quite the personality but has a hard time showing it in different places. Sometimes at peoples houses he has been getting shy and likes to walk around with hands behind his body. He also gets shy on the phone. He loves to talk to people, but just listens. He will get mad when I take the phone away. He is starting to say some words on the phone :) He talked to grandma as he walked around Target. I wish I got a picture. A two year old walking around the isles on an iphone. good sight.
He is starting to fall for my manipulation. He will take a bite of his food if I offer juice right after. Sometimes he doesn't even drink the juice, but will still take the bite. He is also starting to understand threats. Time out is starting to work more, and he will stop doing things he's not supposed to be doing.
I fall in love with this kids more and more everyday! I love seeing him grow up. At an appointment yesterday he weighed 31 lbs and is 34.5 inches tall. 90th percentile. Always has been. My chub of a kid :)

Crazy to think that it was almost a year ago that we were at his 1 yr birthday party. Where does time go. Fun to have these monthly updates - you are so good at that.
Now we need a pregnancy update. :)
