22 Months

Sawyer is 22 months. He is getting so big and independent. He has learned several new words again this month. He can say spoon (poo, yes it is quite funny!), poppa (paaapa, for my dad), duck (duu), and the phrase 'oh yah!' It is so cute when he says this! He also answers 'yah' when you ask him questions now. Just yesterday he said balloon (booo) and today he said banana (nana). Clearly he only goes at his own pace! He has also decided to start calling Shane 'da da' and me 'ma ma'. Even though he could say them before, he hardly ever actually called us by our names.
He has become very obsessed with cars this month. I think it is because there was a building going up behind our house and he saw the workers driving all sorts of trucks back there. So now he loves to play with cars and do his cooking. He also loves driving in the car and pointing out all of the cars he sees, especially big trucks or buses.
I finally decided it was time to let him start feeding himself with a spoon. He has used a fork for a while now, but I kept putting off the spoon. But he is actually really good at it. Maybe it paid to put it off for a while. Less mess for mommy! But now of course he never wants help feeding himself anymore. I guess the independence is a good thing, but it makes me a little bit sad.
Here is our sweet boy at 22 months.
