21 months



James is always going. And it's usually "out. shide" He is so funny. Always learning and amazing me. His vocabulary is amazing and he is also pretty physically advanced too! Alright, enough mom bragging. Here's what he's up to..

*Taking 2 naps still. Takes one around 10-11:30 and 3:30-5. It's great when both boys are napping!!

*Talking all the time. He's just recently been attempting 2 words together and 2 syllables. "firetruks" are his favorite. And he can now tell you that his cousin, Lulu lives in "roar-ha", he lives in "link" and his aunt Jenna lives in "new yor". It's hilarious.

*Loves water. If I need 20 minutes of him being content just let him play in water. He loves getting soaked. Washing the car, playing in the hose, the pool, the lake, watering the plants..any of the above will do!

*He is on day 8 with only 2 total potty accidents! He is doing so great! I have still been putting on a diaper at nap and at night, but his diaper has been dry during nap for the last couple of days so I'm hoping we'll be done with the nap diaper soon!

*Loves the phone. He loves to watch the videos, look at the pictures or use the Spanish flashcards. I have been using it as his motivation to go on the potty. It works pretty well (except when he wants to go potty 4 times in 30 minutes just to see the videos!) But at least he's going potty! I set the timer for 2-3 minutes each time and when the timer goes off he's done going potty.

*Great eater. loves treats..popcorn, cookies, especially chocolate (oops I might have eaten a little while he was in utero!) A couple things he's not a big fan of..guacamole, yogurt, and anything too "picy" (spicy)!

*He had his first Dr. visit for an injury!! Friday July 13! Mike had decided to stay home thankfully.
I had James on my back and I was holding on to his arms around my neck. We were galloping to the bathroom. When we got there I grabbed his arm to bring him around to the front and I heard a pop. I was like, "uh, yuck." He started whining and then crying and wasn't calming down. I knew something was wrong, so I lifted his arm and looked at his wrist and asked him to move it and he couldn't. He wasn't moving his left arm at all. It took me a couple seconds to realize his arm was limp and it clicked in my head...his shoulder was dislocated! So I take a look, but I don't see the dislocation, so I called the Dr and told him what I thought was wrong and asked if we could come in. They squeezed us in between patients and Dr. Wilman fixed it right up! He even thought it was dislocated pretty good! He said it took a second to go back in. Thankfully he's so sweet and told me it happens so easily and showed me how to fix it next time! (I don't know if I could do that!)
James did great.. He of course was crying the whole time. He hates going to the Dr. let along being in pain. But after it was fixed he said bye to Dr. Wilman and said, "treat?" He remembered he got a sucker the last time when he was finished with the appt. Him and his photographic memory!

I don't know how both injuries, his tooth and shoulder had to happen with me! But I am sure it's not the last of them! He's all boy and always going. I love him so much!
