22 Months

Dear Roo,

The other morning you awoke and sat straight up. You looked around the bed, your eyes searching for something. When you spotted your Daddy, you looked up at him and asked: “Daddy, you have my binky?”

You’re learning words and sentences at such a fast rate that I am stunned. Everyday new thing pop out of your mouth and I find myself amazed at how fast you are learning. I have to admit, last week I was questioning when you’d start speaking in sentences and as if you heard me, you started talking sentences!

You’re very active playing in the dirt at the barn, jumping up and down in the bed and dancing to the beat. Hot Wheelz are your new favorite toys. You like to play with them in bed while helping Daddy read his hot rod magazines. Most of the time, you’ll steal the magazine from Daddy and flip through the pages pointing out all the “hots” (hot rods).

You’ve taken an interest in older kids and whenever you see them, you immediately dump Daddy and me to play with them. I don’t blame you; Daddy and I aren’t as cool as the other kids.

I hope you continue this path of exploring that you’ve embarked on. I’m so proud of your independent nature and slightly grateful that I don’t have to chase after you every second of the day.

I love you,

Mommy
