23 months and counting

Yet again I missed your 23 month birthday (or whatever that would be called) but it was not out of a lack of love. The past few weeks have been crazy busy and are enjoying every minute of it. The story that sticks out in my mind is from this week when you wore the new robe that Grandma Sweat sent you after your bath. You were really excited to have a robe like mommy and daddy and I didn't think about the reaction we would get when we asked you to take your robe off to put on your pj's. Let's just say that it wasn't pretty ... you had probably the best temper tantrum you've pulled yet and for a few minutes daddy and I just laughed while we fought to get your pj's on. I laughed because the thoughts going through my head were:
1. I deserve this after the things I did to my parents as a kid
2. I'm just going to enjoy this because someday you'll have a daughter and will have the exact same argument

Your vocabulary has exploded this month and you are now repeating everything we say to "test" out what those words feel like. It is so exciting to hear all of these new words from you while at the same time scary because I know we need to watch everything we say!
