George just turned 22 months….he has just about reached 36″ and is doing really well.  We had a fun fall and Christmas.  George did well with all of our travels & loved the gift portion of the visits as well. 😉

Updates are that he loves to draw….with pencils, pens, markers, chalk…it doesn’t matter as long as he is drawing.  So far he has been good at only drawing on paper…we hope that continues.  He has surprised us with some of his language…it is amazing how much he can say.  My favorite saying is “George is learning 10 new words a day, let’s make sure they are words we want him to know”.  Even I slip up sometimes and of course those are the words he catches.

He is doing well at his daycare and enjoys his teachers quite a bit.  It is obvious he likes it as he enjoys to tell us what the other kids did that day.  He should be moving into the 2s room in the next few months.  Every transition is unpredictable.  On thing that is completely predictable is the fact that once the Wiggles are on TV he is completely glued.  Other than their traditional ‘closing’ music you can tell it is the end of the show when he says (and waves to the TV) ” bye bye Wiggles, bye bye Captain, bye bye Dog”.  It is pretty cute to see him working greetings, farewells & manners into his life.

His imagination is really starting to blossom.  He got a number of toys for Christmas that he loves to play with…but what made us laugh was when he used the “Ove Glove” to remove some pots/pans from his pretend kitchen oven.  He enjoys playing in the kitchen with the food, utensils & pots….then he ran into our kitchen saying “ove glove, ove glove” as if he was on a mission.  He quickly found it & ran back to his oven removing the pot saying “hot, hot, hot”.  It cracked us up.  Along with playing in his kitchen he is a good clean up helper.  He continues to play with his broom & use our carpet sweeper to help clean up.  Sometimes he is a help, sometimes not so much….but they are good habits to develop.

Our family is working through some winter colds right now and is looking forward to warmer weather so we can play outside in the snow.  George likes the snow…he likes to stand in the snow & watch us play.  Matt made a snowman & I started a fort….George enjoyed them when we were done.  🙂  We hope to head out & get some sledding in to yet this winter.

Well, off to start the day!
