Little guy update

Weston is almost 22 months and has changed so much over the past couple months. He loves to play with his trucks, run around the house with his dinosaurs yelling "roooooar!", jump up and down, climb all over the furniture, read books, especially nursery rhymes, and carry his teddy bear around. Weston's language is coming along slowly but surely. He just began to say two word phrases like "up-down!", "my turn", "hi mom", "hi dad", "thank you" and "neat truck!" He still loves his "nacks" (snacks) and loves to eat any kind of meat, especially hotdogs and sausage, but not a fan of milk. (unless it has chocolate in it of course:)

Sharing seems to be difficult for him right now, but he is learning. He loves to run, and is pretty fearless, and a little clumsy (not really a good combination.) Sitting in one spot for more than a minute is not his thing, he is an active little guy. Weston definitely learns by watching, he loves to just watch other kids and people wherever we go. He is shy around strangers at first, but pretty wild around us:)

I love being Weston's mom. It is challenging at times. Sometimes I feel like I'm living with caveman or a foreign exchange student 24/7.  It's frustrating when he is still learning to communicate and at times I don't understand what he wants or is trying to tell me. I have learned that I am not very patient and I have to just take a breath when he throws fits or fights me with something. I know he is learning to be independent and I'm trying my best to help him learn and grow, and discipline him at the same time. He is such a great kid though, I couldn't ask for a better boy. I love him so much.
