23 Months-old

It is hard to believe that this time next month, our little man will be TWO!  Each month, I am amazed at all the things Carson has learned.  As always, I am intrigued by his language development and cannot help but stop and laugh at many of the things he thinks of.  Carson continues to LOVE mowers, tractors, edgers, blowers, front-end loaders, etc.  If it has wheels or is a tool, then Carson is in "awwwww".  Unfortunately, this past month has been filled with sickness between Carson having an ear infection and Daddy having mono so, we have spent more time inside this past few weeks than normal.  Despite this little hiccup in our life, the memories keep being made and here is a little glimps of the things that just make me smile!

Sayings from a 23 month-old:

1. When Brandon returned home from the hospital, he was laying on a pillow in my lap.  Carson comes over and says, "Daddy, no snuggle with mommy!"

2.  "Daddy, no bath.  Water too hot.  I cold water."

3. AND my FAVORITE...Carson has learned to sing most of his NT books of the Bible.  He has also learned to quote John 3:16, Mark 12:30, and Luke 1:37.  There is nothing quite as sweet as hearing a little child run around the house saying, "NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE with GOD!"  What an amazing reminder!

Actions of a 23 month-old:

1.  CLIMBING!!!  Carson has figured out that the world is a totally different place from the top of a stool.  He has learned to take it into the bathroom to open the "fun" cabinets.  He has attempted to take it into his closet to "pick out a shirt".  He has taken it into the kitchen to explore all of the drawers that mama uses.

2.  BOOMING!  There is nothing in this child that isn't all boy.  One of Carson's favorite actions is to "boom" thing.  Whether it is making a toy fall off of a high place or tackling Daddy, there is always a sweet smile to follow.

3.  Telling secrets:  Daddy is always telling Carson secrets to tell me.  I love hearing, "Daddy says, Mommy, you are beautiful!"

4.  PUSHING! (objects, not people!)  Carson loves to "push" things around.  He loves to push our homemade CHOO CHOO train, all of the strollers, grocery carts, and whatever else has wheels!

5.  DRIVING!  Last but definitely not least, Carson loves to "drive" the car.  "Mama, drive a minute?"  He loves pushing all of the buttons and dancing to the music!
