This month, Logan and Taylor are 21 months, and I love it. Life is pretty good right now. Sure we deal with meltdowns and tantrums in public and in privacy, but the boys are learning and playing so much lately, and I can't imagine life getting any better with them.
This month, Logan's vocabulary increased even more. He can probably say an average of 40 words now. His favorite ones are "no" and "ice cream." But I also love the way his says "Chanchu" (Thank you) and "Goga" (Logan). I also love it when I ask him to bring something to Taylor, and he runs over to Taylor, saying "Tay-do" and handing over to him whatever it was I gave him. It is so sweet to watch. He loves to be outside and look at birds and bunnies. He also likes to collect "treasures" or what I like to call "trash." He actually gets mad now when I tell him it is time to leave or go home. Sometimes he even flops on the ground, and I have to pick him up. One of my favorite moments comes at nighttime, when Logan gives everybody a round of kisses before being put down into his crib. I hope he continues to do this for the next 16 years of his life. Yeah, right. This month, we got to visit the Easter Bunny at the mall. Logan wasn't afraid to sit on his lap or touch his ears, but he also was not happy to be there, and the pictures definitely showed his un-enthusiasm. When we saw the Easter Bunny again at the Easter Egg Hunt, Logan was fascinated by his tail. It was super cute to see him grabbing it and laughing his head off. We also got to go on 2 Easter Egg Hunts, and Logan quickly grabbed the concept of picking up as many eggs as he could before other kids got to them. He generally does that with food. He knows that if he doesn't pick up as much food as he can hold, someone else will eat that food, so he goes for it! It is common for him to steal food from Taylor, even if he has tons of food in front of him. It is the law of survival. He is so cute when he does it too. But he can be rough, too. He enjoys pinching and poking while saying "Owww!" because that's what I say when he does it. He is so funny!
This month, Taylor started vocalizing more. He is definitely a quiet boy, but every now and then, he just starts talking and talking and talking, and it is adorable. My favorite word of his right now is "Peez" (Please). He loves to be outside and yell at the birds and bunnies. When he sees them from our window, he waves at them while screaming "bu-bu" at the top of his lungs. Taylor is very cuddly. He loves to cuddle with stuffed animals and sometimes even with mommy and daddy. He occasionally kisses us when we ask, but mostly just does it when he feels like it. Taylor was not very enthusiastic about the Easter Bunny at the mall, but at least he didn't freak out. And when we saw the Easter Bunny again at the Easter Egg Hunt, Taylor was more interested in opening eggs than paying attention to a giant bunny. He was so excited to open up eggs and find treats in them that he didn't bother picking many. He loves to figure things out, and lately he has been loving opening and closing doors. Yep, he figured out how to turn the knobs. Not cool! This month, we quit seeing the feeding specialist. We really don't have any concerns about Taylor's diet anymore. We have figured out what he likes to eat and what he doesn't. Of course there are times when Taylor would rather starve himself than eat something he doesn't like or doesn't want to try, but we've learned to be okay with that. He actually started eating a few vegetables this month, including corn and tomatoes (although I guess tomatoes are a fruit). And he likes to chew on carrots, although he spits them out after a while. This month, Taylor has been accident-prone. Right now, he has a scrape on his forehead, thumb, and chin, and a black eye. The scrapes are from tripping on the cement and going down the slide, and the black eye is from pulling the pocker set onto himself. I think it's super cute that whenever he gets hurt, he comes over to me to kiss the booboo better. That kid is so active but so loving. I hope it lasts.
