21 Months

This month and actually the past year has flown by quickly. Nolan is now 21 months and this is the last monthly post I will make in 2012. It is hard to believe Christmas is almost here, but at least it is a white one! I am excited to take Nolan out in the snow, although I am not sure if he will want to play in it or just look at it. These past two days we have been home due to a blizzard and Nolan has spent most of his day looking out the front door. He likes watching people snow blow and yesterday even saw someone snowmobiling down the street!

At 21 months Nolan....

• Weighs about 25lbs
• Wears size 5 shoe and 18-24 month clothes
• STILL is in size 3 diapers
• Sleeps from 7:30p.m. to 6:30a.m. and takes a 2 hour afternoon nap-he is such a good sleeper!
• Has made some progress with eating...he ate hamburger the other night with a fork and at wondas at our family Christmas
• Is repeating a lot of things we say, but loves to say his name...NOLAN. 
• Can say about 25 words and his latest is the word mine.

• Nods his head now to say yes when he wants something

• Recognized his name using letters from Leap Frog Phonics and points at it and says Nolan!
• Recognized his name on his stocking and said Nolan!

• Looks for buses while we drive and will go "Busssssssssss" when he sees one
• Enjoys skyping at night with Nani, Poppi, and Aunt Christina

Playing with Christmas lights.

All smiles before bedtime.

Being silly at Nani's.

Working hard on the computer.

Going down the stairs...and then soon after we went up the stairs.

Clifford is much better than Santa!

Trying a wonda!
