He's no longer a baby and so wants to be a big boy in a lot of ways. He's really independent when we're around but is struggling with separation anxiety a lot whenever we leave him anywhere. He is now going to a Mother's Morning Out once a week and although he gets excited to go to "school" he has a hard time while there. We'll see how it goes over the next couple of weeks.
We had his well doctor visit this afternoon and he's 22 lbs (10%) and 35 inches (off the charts!). And overall he is a very healthy little boy for which we are so thankful.
He has started saying a few words now and trying to repeat words we say to him, which is encouraging. He is very task oriented and loves to have something to do, especially helping us with chores around the house. He loves people (particularly men) and will go up to most strangers and "chat" with them. Trains, cars and trucks are a constant fascination. We've also entered a new stage: throwing and hitting, all of which he finds hilarious! We're working through what needs discipline and how to redirect :)
We love you little boy! You bring so much joy each day and we are so privileged to watch you grow and learn.
