Saturday - Alec is 20 months old today! We are on the down hill slide to TWO. We took Alec to get his first haircut. He did really good but mostly looked scared/dazed the entire time.  He got a great little cut and he looks so good.

Here's what Alec's been up to this month:

Words/Language - His language has really developed this month. He's saying more and more words. If I had to guess he's saying 50-75 words easily. Some of this new words are fishies (goldfish crackers and fish), trash, Ew (as in gross), alright, candy, ice cream, thank you (he actually says it at the right time), bless you, ouch, drink, milk, water, rain, and he's even started counting 1 and 2. Those are just the ones that I think are new and he's using a lot.

Clothing/Size - Alec outgrew his shoes this month and went up 1 size since March. He now wears a size 7.5 Wide shoe. He's wearing 2T clothing in both pants and shirts. He's working on getting his last 4 molars and at least 2 have come in.

He's getting more affectionate. He blows kisses and makes a kissy noise when he wants a kiss. He hugs and loves on everything and everyone.  He's becoming more shy and less outgoing. I think it's a normal thing, he's remembering more people and now knows what strangers are. He asks for people by name - Mammie, Poppy, Dawson, Allie, and on and on. If you ask where's Dawson and he's not around. He'll say "I dunno" or "gone." He's also become more clingy (especially to me). He still loves to read and his favorite books are Brown Bear and the Mama Llama books. He asks for them by name.

My little boy is growing up. He's moved into a toddler room at daycare, got his first haircut, and is starting swimming lessons. He's definitely keeping us on our toes and super busy, but he's so much fun. Eric and I are always saying he's just getting to be more and more fun everyday.
