Potty and Brushing Teeth

(Sitting in the bathrrom sink, butt naked, brushing his teeth)

Anything and everything in the bathroom has become a great adventure lately. We've moved on from the "I absolutely love having my teeth brushed" stage to "I must bite the persons hands whose brushing my teeth till they give me the tooth brush". He's actually quite good at brushing them too. Not the back teeth, just the front ones.

The picture above was taken tonight right before bed time. Lee really likes to sit on the potty and go "peeeeeee" as he would say. He's really into watching himself go. He'll also tell you anywhere/anytime when he's going in his diaper. For instance I heard over the baby monitor today while he was supposed to be sleeping "uh, oh Momma. Poop. Potty Momma. Uh oh". He's no where near becomming potty trained, it's just something that he's infatuated with and if it were summer and able to run around in a diaper, I just might have tried. However it's not summer, he's heavily clothed, therefore, I'm sticking with after diaper changes and before bed/bath time.

19 Months Old

Playing video games with Daddy. You will sit on his lap for hours if we let you. You love wearing the headset and listening.

Lee's almost 2 years old. I feel that if I blink too hard it will be here and it really truely scares me. On the other hand, he's getting to be so big and smart, everyday he is surprising me. Here are some funny and new things he's doing.

Walking up and down stairs all by himself. He refuses help and wants to do it himself. Scares the life out of me because he's actually walking down them instead of crawling now.

If you ask him his favorite letter he'll say "p". Last night at my parents we were there for dinner and after I asked him his letter, he followed it by singing (actually singing and you could tell it was the abc song) "p p p p p p p p, p p p p p p p p." He was singing to the tune of ABC's but only used the letter "p".

If you ask him how old he is, he'll tell you he's 2.


He's starting to get the TV shows he watches. He'll sit there and laugh or he'll say "oh no" at the appropriate oh no times.

He can turn on the TV and then he'll bring you the remote and either ask for you to turn on Elmo or Choo Choos.

He's really curious about putting on his own clothes. He'll get his arm in or his leg but then is stuck.

His signing is getting much better. He can sign: amen, all done, more, eat, drink, pig, home, bath, please, dadddy and potty.


He also knows where the following body parts are: hair, ears, eyes, nose, teeth, tongue, hands, belly button and feet.


3 favorite toys right now are trains, mr. potato head and books.


You can feed yourself just about anything with a fork or spoon. It's still a bit messy, but you do a very good job!


You're still going to bed about 7pm every night, waking up between 7-8am and napping from noon-3pm (most days).


When I ask you a question, you will say "umm" before giving me the answer. It's really funny and I laugh everytime. You will also ask me what things are, "whats it" is what I think you're saying. You want to know what everything is, and you repeat what I tell you. 85% of the time, I still don't understand you, but you have a lot to say!


You LOVE to play video games with Daddy. He will even switch video games so you can sit on his lap and play with him.

You love to color. You are most definately left handed also.

Bedtime the last few nights has been horrible. You will cry and cry and cry. I have no clue why other than you're extra tired and don't want to go to sleep. You're fine if we're in there with you but you hate being left alone.

You refuse to wear socks. I don't even put them on you anymore. Once your shoes are off, so are the socks!


Below are some pictures from the last month or so.

Playing in the snow. Like socks you won't keep gloves on either.

Climbing on everything.

Trying to dress yourself.

You love to help me make cookies... and eat them.

There were major problems with the cars and your garage. You can see the tongue sticking out, you were thinking hard!

Playing with snowy.

My sister Jackie always says "snowy". It's "snowy outside" or "snowy boots" so that's what we always call it in our family. Here are a few pictures of Lee playing with snowy today inside. It's too cold and windy to play outside, so we brought the outside to us! I must say, it was not nearly as big a mess as I thought. We just put down towels and mopped up quickly after. Lee did a great job listening and keeping the snowy in the bucket.
