This is going to be a fall to remember! Holidays are more fun than ever. I can't wait until Thanksgiving and Christmas. You don't really understand what is going on yet during these holidays but you LOVE IT just the same! Halloween was so much fun. Experiencing everything for the first time with you is something we wouldn't miss for anything!
This month you have become more and more independent. You now insist on eating with a spoon. You also want your own bowl/plate to eat from. You are getting quite good at feeding yourself with utensils and it is adorable to watch! Your favorite meal to eat with a spoon is salad (from my plate). We share a lot!
You don't want us to hold the books for you at night when we read. YOU want to hold the books. If we try to take the books away and hold them there is a lot of thrashing and grunting involved.
Your Pop and Grandpap have started a fun little game with you. One of them will say "Tigers" or "Jawhawsks" and you automatically say the opposite team. You love to tease and tourment your grandparents who are diehard fans of opposing teams! It works out in your best interest because you always get really awesome team apparel!
You have gotten into coloring lately. I've never seen you sit still for quite so long. You will sit on a lap at the table for 45 minutes or so and play with markers. You like sticker books quite a bit too. While you sit there it is AMAZING to smell the top of your head. I'm sure that if there is a bakery in heaven it has to smell something like the top of your head.
Just a few more short months and we will be celebrating the big TWO! I'm sure it will be here before we know it with all of the holidays keeping us busy. I'm going to try to slow down and soak up as much as I can. We love you! Happy big 2-0!
