You are 19 months old today! Before we know it, it will be June and you will be turning two. You are getting to be such a big boy these days. You are turning into quite the little "clown." There is never a dull moment in our house, because you keep us on our toes all day long.
This last month has brought on a new year. On New Year's Eve, we went over to Mimi and G-Daddy's house for dinner and to play games. Daddy smoked a Boston butt and Mama made snowman cupcakes for dessert. While you played with all of your toys, we played "Farckle" and another game called "Would You Rather." Aunt Jessie and Uncle Patrick came into town and Aunt Manda was there too. You had a good time annoying Cinnamon and trying to "help" G-Daddy play the game.
Daddy had to work on New Year's Day, so we went back over to Mimi and G-Daddy's house for a traditional dinner. You are still a pretty adventurous eater and will usually try anything (at least once). We had a lot to thank God for and prayed that he would bless us in the new year (and take care of Daddy, of course).
This last month has been filled with a bunch of "firsts," lots of snow and the word "no." It started snowing the night of Sunday, January 9th and it decided to stick around for a while. Because of the amount of snow (and all of the ice), they ended up cancelling school for the entire week, so we got to spend a lot of time playing in the snow, eating pancakes, and just lounging around in our p.j.s. You had fun riding on the tube and playing with Ryleigh, but hated getting all of your layers on.

While you continue to learn new words every day, your favorite word these days is "no." It seems to be the answer to every question and you think it is hilarious. Daddy and I think it's pretty funny when you say it in your playful tone and drag it out into a four syllable "nooooooooooooooooo" other times, it is not quite so cute. What can I say buddy, you are an absolute mess!
These days, you don't walk anywhere. . . you have two speeds -- run and sprint! It's hard to keep you still unless you are ready to eat (and you go over to your chair and try to climb up into it) or watching Cars (which we still watch at least once a day). Other than that, your Daddy and I have to always be ready to chase you down. Lately, it's been pretty difficult for you to get through Sunday morning worship at church. You either feel the need to stand up on the pew, turn around, and say "hi" to everyone you can see or try to tell us everything on your mind using your loudest "outside voice." Needless to say, your Daddy and I play "tag team" when it comes to taking you out to the nursery.
Over the course of this last month, you have started to cut one of your canine teeth (the one on the right hand side - when I am looking at you). I am pretty sure you've started cutting your two year old molars too, because you usually have got your hand (or anything else you can find) pushed all the way in the back of your mouth. I haven't been brave enough to stick my finger all the way back there because you've tried to use it for a "chew toy" before and it didn't feel so good.
One exciting thing you have started to do is use the potty. On Friday, January 14th, you went pee pee in your big boy frog potty for the first time. It was unexpected and your Daddy and I both got a kick out of it. You looked at us like we were crazy, but then loved all of the attention you got, not to mention the Smarties you got to eat. For four days straight, you went to the bathroom once during the day. Since then, you've gone here and there, but we haven't pushed it. I'm hoping that as long as you keep showing interest, potty training may not be too tough.
Another "first" for you, was spending the night by yourself over at Mimi and G-Daddy's house. Daddy and I went to North Carolina to go snowboarding, so you got to spend the night being spoiled and having fun. I wasn't sure how you would do, but Mimi said you were great. . . it ended up being Mama that had a hard time! I never knew I spending the night away from you would be so hard on me. When we came to pick you up the next night, you were "hard at play" and Mimi, G-Daddy, Aunt Manda, and Cinnamon were all worn out and curled up on the couch.
Tonight, you got to see your Nana and Papa. They both came over to visit you and we talked them into staying for dinner. You felt it necessary to "show out" for a little while. . . just so you could make sure that they didn't forget about you.
You are one lucky little boy Tay. You have so many people that love you. I know I may be a little bious, since I am your Mama, but I think you are an amazing gift from God. For such a little boy, you have such a big heart and you find a way each day to you show your Daddy and me how much you love us. Happy 19 months my little love!
