Okay, serious pose

6 months old - June, 2008

1 1/2 years old - June, 2009

and OH MY! 2 1/2 - June 2010 ( I changed a little)

Hi Everyone,

I have been 2 1/2 for a month now, but Mommy decided to blog about my age anyway. We cannot believe how much I have changed. I have changed in so many ways. Mommy is loving all the changes I have made. We feel that I am right on track with my language and motor skills. I only needed help with my growing. We find out how much I have grown in two weeks. Mommy is very proud of me. I know my ABC's and numbers pretty good. I am always counting. We need to work on colors, but I do know some colors. There are so many words that I know. I love to repeat! I mostly repeat Mommy, which is a good thing ;) Mommy feels that in a year, I will be more than ready for PreSchool. Yep, in a year - I will be going to Preschool. First, I have to be potty trained :/

My behavior at this age, as Mommy hates to admit it - is probably on track for a two year old. Oh do I have my moments! Mommy handles it well though. We have timeouts and other forms of discipline. I know Mommy means business and that is good (for Mommy). Mommy still considers herself lucky - I am a pretty good kid. I love to help and I have to be right there. Sometimes, I let Mommy go potty by herself.

Some goals for the next six months - Potty Trained!! Mommy also wants to move me into a big bed. Mommy is on the lookout for a twin bed. I really don't think we will have big issues with the bed, but with me you never know! We will also continue to read books, and practice my ABCs, Numbers and Colors.

We have had a good week. My mood has been okay. We went for a hike today, and I did really well. I am a hiking boy, not a story time boy at all - Mommy found that out today. I have been having some sleeping issues again! This time Mommy had to get strict. She knew I was playing her and Daddy. The second night, I protested my bedtime, she opened my door and yelled! She told me to go to sleep now! I did what she said and I did not wake up in the middle of the night, like I was doing. I was giving them a hard time about going to bed and then I would cry for an hour in the middle of the night. I tried it again last night - and Mommy really yelled again - and then there was not a peep from me - all night. Tonight, I went right down, with no yelling. (side note: This is Niko's Mommy - It killed me to be soo stern, but it had to be done and it worked. I am a Mommy that likes to tell my son "Good Night and Mommy loves you", which I was able to do tonight :) )
Whoa! We wrote a lot tonight :) We hope you enjoyed the blog. Have a wonderful Friday and Weekend :) Love, Niko
