Here are some of the things that are going on at 22 months around our house:
1) Braden LOVES to read paper books vs board books. He thinks it is so cool to be able to read "teacher" books (which is what they call them at school). That basically just means ones with paper pages. He is so cute with them and he gets very excited. :) He has so many books in his arsenal and we had not gotten to those yet...so it is an exciting time to get to pull a few new ones out each night.
2) Speaking of reading books...there are some books that Braden reads to us. It is so sweet! He will pull the book out and go page by page, and tell us what the story is all about. :) He gets really excited at some parts too. Cracks us up! He is in LOVE with the Mo Williems pigeon books. Oh my goodness...he quotes them all the time! :)
3) Braden is really into praying right now. If we pray before dinner he will say "more, more...more praying." Sweet boy!! We are really happy about that piece! :)
4) At the same time, he is also VERY into temper tantrums right now as well. That is the part we are not too fond of. :( Literally on the day he turned 22 months the craziness just started. He would get upset in the past, and we thought maybe the terrible twos started early in our house. Let's put it this way...we did not know what the terrible twos were until this month!! WOW!! Full on body thrashing and throwing himself on the ground.....followed by lots of wailing and lots of drama. And this might last for 10-15 min all b.c he cannot have something he wants, or b.c he is not ready to have dinner, take a bath, get ready for bed, etc. He has a very hard time recovering once he gets going. We have gone through a few different types of discipline to find the one that works. Pretty much anything can set him off, and we are really over it. Looking forward for this phase being over soon!!
5) Braden loves to do anything with Brant. He loves to help wake him up in the morning, bring him things, help feed him, throw his diaper away, help burp him, etc. He always tells us about his little brother "Branty". :)
6) We gave peanut butter a try this week and surprisingly enough he did not like it!! We were shocked and actually quite sad considering we were already thinking about all of the fun new foods that he could have now. But he has been pretty disinterested in it so far...and really not wanting to eat much at all. Hope that changes...but he might end up like I was as a kid. I hated PB&J sandwiches, and to this day I still do not eat anything like that! :) He is already evidently my child in so many ways! HA!
7) Braden has more of a mind of his own each day....which is always fun when you are going through the terrible twos. :) Good times!
8) He is into jumping....and he loves to show us that he is a jumper now. :)
9) And last but not least....he understands almost everything that we say now. Sometimes he pretends like he doesn't..but he does. :) He will answer our questions even when we think he is not even listening. Oh but he is crazy fun too b.c he does understand so much! :)
Such a precious little spirit. So in love with his kid! :)
