23 months

Everyone always says that children are resilient, but our little boy really is a trooper. He's been through so much this month with a little sister coming home and a move cross-country. He's taken everything with such stride and settled in so well. He thinks packing and unpacking is super fun with all the boxes and packing material around the house. He's not sure, however, about his little sister always being around though. He loves to tell us when she cries, is sleeping or needs her pacifier (such a helper!). He loves all the new places we've taken him. His favorite may have been his very first flight a couple weeks ago. He thought the whole experience was so cool. He still loves to count (to eleven now!) and sing his ABC's all around the house. He also knows all of his colors well. His favorite activity recently is probably coloring with crayons and sidewalk chalk, painting with water or drawing with pens. His dexterity and precision is amazing for someone his age. He holds the pen so well and takes coloring very seriously. So far he's colored on the couch, wall, back door, curtains and even our bed sheets. He's still obsessed with watching Caillou and Super WHY! which we DVR on a regular basis and own on DVD. He communicates so well which continues to amaze us and even strangers. It's crazy how much his little head retains and his mouth repeats - we call him our little parrot. He's so sweet and such a great little boy. He's so loved.

So grown up!

Coloring, very serious.
