22 Months

Ellington, you turned 22 months a week ago. Time sure is flying! You will be two before we know it!

What are you up to at 22 months?

• You still wear size 24 months or 2T
• You sleep 11-12 hours at night and your nap usually lasts about an hour and a half
• You are a pretty good eater, except for vegetables!
• You repeat anything and everything!
• You go to Parent's Morning Out 3 mornings a week without Mommy and LOVE it.  You are always so happy and wound up when I pick you up!!!  
• You love to talk about the light turning green when we are stopped at a red light.  
• You are starting to say a lot of words the correct way, rather than your "baby talk" way.  For example, you now say "Reagan" instead of "Ray-ran".
• You still adore all things MSU
• You say Oby's if we ask you where you want to go eat. :)  If you had your way we would eat there all of the time!
• You say "Ellington" when we ask you who wrote the Bible.  Then we say, "No, not Ellington.  Who wrote the Bible?" and you say, "God wrote the Bible".
• You ask to sing Jesus (Jesus Loves Me) and God (God Is So Good) while I rock you before bed.
• You are such a sweet girl.  All of the other teachers at school talk about how sweet and good you are. 
• You still love watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Goofy and Daisy are your current favorite characters.
• You say "please", "thank you", and "excuse me" all on your own without being asked (most of the time!)

Ellington, we love you more every day.  You are at such a precious, fun age.  We can't imagine our lives without you.
