21 Months!

Holy cow! Only 3 more months until my sweet "baby" is going to be 2!!!!

Koleton's new favorite word is "car" or "kuur" as he says it ;) His voice gets very serious and deep and he points to every "kuur" and says it lol He LOVES vehicles! Cars, trucks, buses, tractors, if it has an engine and a motor he is in love haha  He also loves the movie Cars 2.  He is so over the original Cars and has moved on to the sequel :) I may even break down and make up his "big boy" room with a Cars 2 theme. I highly dislike doing a character theme, but I cannot find a cute "vehicle" bed set that won't break the bank! Plus the way his big blue eyes light up when he sees Lightning McQueen will make it worth it :) We shall see!

Kole is getting better and better around people. He still doesn't like people if he doesn't know them but now he will kiss my friends bye and he even spent an afternoon playing WITH my friend's daughter! He likes older kids MUCH more than younger ones.

His favorite food these days is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! He still expects a full dinner though! Meat, potatoes, veggies, etc! Don't think you can fool him with "we're having breakfast for dinner!" lol When it is dinner time, you better be serving dinner!

We just took Koleton out of town to see VeggieTales Live this past weekend! He wasn't so thrilled when the human actors were on stage, but once Larry, Bob and the others came out it was like he was mesmerized! He danced a little, tried to run to the other side of the stage, and smiled a LOT! He even got to meet Bob and Larry after the show! We hurried out to wait (it was past his bedtime already) and he was like third in line. He looked at them like they were crazy, of course this Bob and Larry had arms and legs, so I'm sure he wasn't fooled ;) He was so good the whole trip up the Pampa (about 6 hours away) and since it was pretty much a turn around trip, he was understandably irritable on the ride home.  We did stop at the Amarillo Zoo on the way home too! It was a cute little zoo, much smaller than the Phoenix Zoo or others like that but they had tigers, lions, monkeys etc and the animals were much closer! One tiger even stood up and growled at us like 2 feet away!  Overall it was a good trip and we all had fun :)

We are working on "learning" time out now as well.  It seems to be going pretty well, though he mostly gets put in time out for throwing his temper tantrums.  Spanking doesn't seem to do much, but he doesn't like sitting in time out! He does sit there for his whole minute most of the time.

His new favorite toys are Mr. Potato Head, a shapes puzzle, and of course his hot wheels (Cars characters of course haha).  We are working on giving up the paci (tomorrow they all go in the trash! I've been warning him all week lol) and next month we are thinking about starting potty training! He weighs about 26 pounds now (I don't know how tall he is right now), wears a size 5 diaper, size 18-24 month bottoms and 24m-2t shirts (even some 3t!!). He is in a size 6/7 shoe.  Growing so big, so fast!

I can't believe it is time to start planning his 2nd birthday party already!!! Time flies!!
