22 Months Old...

... and such a Big Boy!! He's definitely not a baby anymore. He's a short little grown-up.

He's my little parrot, repeating everything I say. It's so cute. (And of course, it teaches me to watch what I say).... For example... here's a funny story... so Luke is sitting at the table eating his lunch at day care. He's minding his own business while this other 2-year old is having a complete meltdown. Lynnette is with the other kid across the room - he's sreaming and crying. So Luke quietly gets up from the table, walks over to the other kid, gets right up in his face and says "Shut Up!" Then he walks back over to the table, sits down and continues to eat his lunch. Of course, Lynnette had to conceal her laughter. But I was appalled and mortified. I wondered where on earth he learned that. I, of course, have never ever said that to him. So later that night, after I'd already told Greg the story and we both had a laugh, it hit me. The cats were going nuts, meowing, begging for dinner. And guess what I said to Pumpkin? Yep. That's exactly where he heard that. He heard Mommy say "Shut Up" to the kitty cats. Oops!! Lesson learned.

He's a good kid though. So good, in fact, that he will put himself in time out. They don't even use time out at school. And I've only done it to him once. But now, any time I tell him "No. Don't do that," well, he marches himself over in a corner and announces "Time Out." Cracks me up.

What else? Well, he's obsessed with the Wiggles. And I mean obsessed!! "Wiggles" is the first thing he says in the morning. And it's the first thing he says to me when I go pick him up in the afternoon. He knows all the Wiggles names. And he knows what each of them do... for example, Murray plays the guitar; Jeff sleeps, etc. Jeff is his favorite Wiggle.

Here are just some random pictures from the last couple of months...
