Our busy little boy!

Kayson is now 17 months and is busier than ever! This is definitely one, if not my most favorite stage he's in right now. Here's what our little boy is up to these days:

-He LOVES being outside and could play outside all day! It always makes him so sad to come in
-He is back to eating really good and always wants to feed himself. He's very good with a spoon and fork
-This kid loves milk!
-Kays still has two 1 1/2 -2hr naps
- Bedtime is 9 and he'll sleep til at least 8:30 or 9! (9:30 this last week) he's a GOOD little sleeper!
-He is such a little chatter box and can practically repeat anything you say.
-Some of his newest and latest words are: yellow, green, cuddle, cookie, apple, please, thank you, bus, kid, hi dad, hi bud, hi momma, what, thank you, no! (hate that one), Jesus, shoes, socks (sockies), book, bink, hello, wii, up, all done, button, snowman, swing, walk, grandma, grandpa (papa) and many more
-Loves me to sing 'Once there was a snowman' while he helps act it out
-Also loves patty cake and knows all the parts :)
-LOVES reading books and can reinact or imitate everything I do on every page every time we read!
-He is so so smart! He can say what most of the animals say and kinda learned it on his own! He'll do the lion, bear, pig, horse, elephant, monkey, kitty, dog, duck, sheep, cow, and owl
-He loves helping me make my bed every morning and hands me all the pillows.
-He knows his toes, fingers, belly button, ears, eyes, nose, tongue, teeth, mouth, and hair
-He has a favorite blanket: his animal fleece one that's tied ... And he always falls asleep playing with the ties or rubbing them on his own face or across his eyebrow! So cute!
-Loves buses and we watch them drive by our house everyday singing: 'the wheels on the bus'
-He also loves fire trucks and will imitate the sound: nee-new-nee-new
-He'll pound on his chest and make the ape/Tarzan sound
-If you ask him 'how old are you?' he'll lift up his pointer finger and say "one!"
-He'll pet things (our cat or people) and say "nice" or "soft"
-Whenever he "toots" he'll smile and say "tooted"
-He's always running... Walking isn't enough anymore :)
-He's our little prayer reminder: any time we sit down to eat, he folds his arms and knows exactly when the prayer is over and says "amen!"
-Kays gives high fives and knuckles.... While saying "knuckles"
And now thanks to my sister Amanda, he likes to bump elbows, and say "elbows"
-He loves to sweep or push our swiffer sweeper around
-Also right now he's big into kicking our big ball around and can do it while running!
-Kayson takes a binki to nap and go to bed... And I'm gonna break that habit hopefully starting next week.
-He loves going for walks in the stroller, riding in his bike trailer, or hiking in his hiking backpack

We love you little man and are so lucky to have you in our lives!
