Chesney - 23 Months Old

Chesney you are in your last month of being a one year old.  Next month, you will just seem so much older.  I have to say, it kind of makes me sad to see you heading towards two.

 

 

 Gosh you look so BIG in this picture!

 

Here is what you are up to at 23 Months:

• Weight: 30 lbs
• Length: 36 inches
• Clothes: You are wearing 18-24 month clothes but all of a sudden this week, your shirts are looking like belly shirts.  We are going to have to move you up into the 2T size for shirts and pants.
• Shoes: You wear a size 7 shoe. 
• Diapers: You wear underwear all day and a diaper at night and nap.  You haven't had a wet diaper at nap time in weeks and at you are dry almost all mornings.  You still have an accident or two each week but are doing so great.  
• Food: You have gone back to your picky eating again.  You definitely have your favorite meals, noodles, ham and anything breakfast.  And you still love your "milka".
• Development: You can now count to 12. You are learning your colors and know orange and green, the others get mixed up sometimes.  You love to play hide and seek and have become better about staying quiet when you are hiding.
• Words: You have started singing more over the past month.  You sing with the CD in the car and walk around the house singing.  You now pick up words or phrases from us or TV and say them.  This month you have started to hug us and say "you're the best."  You have no idea how much that melts our hearts (or how easy it would be to get whatever you want if you were to say that at the right time).
• Sleep: You still go to bed at about 7:30 every night and wake up about 6:30-7:00 am.  We read a few books before bed and now read prayers.  You say Dear God before and Amen after.  You take one 1.5-2 hour nap every day.
• Teeth: Your 15th tooth, left upper canine came in this month.  We went to the dentist and found out your right upper lateral incisor is missing.
• What I love about you: We love you much you hug and kiss us and how you tell us "you're the best".  You are happy pretty much 24/7, except sometimes a little upset when you wake up from nap.

 

Chesney, you are such a wonderful miracle.  We just love lovin you!
