20 Months

Leo is certainly growing fast!

He is in full fledged "terrible twos". Throwing tantrums 100 times a day, being mean to mom, and a serious mover. I've been getting a lot of looks at the store but whatevs.

He is putting lots of words together. He likes to talk. Sometimes it makes sense and sometimes its just jibber jabber!

Is seriously fascinated with bumps (AKA speed bumps or anywhere that goes bump) He talks about it ALL THE TIME. I've also had to stand in the parking lot at Target and watch people go over the speed bumps multiple times....

Has such a fun sense of humor and he seriously spices up life!

19 Months

Leo is 19 Months!

- Leo loves to be outside (like always...) and since the weather has been nicer lately we've been able to spend even more time outside!

- He likes to clap when he does something he thinks is good...the only problem is most of the time it is something I don't want him to be doing...

- Funny/cute story: I put Piper's food in her bowl and Leo really wanted her to eat it. When she came over and started eating it he started clapping and saying "good job, good job!" I about died.

- Needs mommy cuddle time a lot during the day :) Although when daddy's home its a different story...

- Does NOT want to ride in the front seat of the shopping cart. Sometimes I can get him to ride in the basket or bribe him with a yogurt pouch. Otherwise I end up holding him...ahhh. Makes shopping tricky! (Tips? Tricks?)

We went to the children's museum and of course parks!

Leo & Piper Diaries

Here's a couple snippets of what Leo and Piper have been up to...

Here Leo is sitting on Piper and brushing her with the sink brush (it was clean)...

Piper is so patient! ;) 

 Leo REALLY wanted to get on the chair with Piper, then asked for his blankie and tiger. He wanted to take a nap with her. So cute!

Going for #2!

17 Months

Leo is 17 Months!

Leo has some serious personality!

In the top left picture: Ronnie said he was going to take a nap and Leo went and got him his blanket and tiger!

This past month Leo....

Started to love trains!

Has some funny faces.

Loves to dance

I've caught him a couple times sitting on Piper and reading a book 

Always talks about trucks and buses

Insists (by pulling on your hand) that you come with him

Is extremely hard to get a photo of...he has ants in his pants.

Can count to two with his fingers (usually followed by jumping off something)
