Easter 2012

We had a really great Easter weekend. Sawyer and I went down to Price to visit with my grandparents Vuksinick and hang out with family. Then on Sunday, we went to my grandparents' Dixon for lunch with everyone. It is so great to be able to see family for the holidays! Lastly, we went to visit Shane's parents on Sunday evening. Lots of family time this weekend!
Here is Sawyer's Easter basket. He loved opening the eggs most.



Grammie spoiled him as usual and got him some fun Easter presents. His favorite were his boom (squirt gun) and his tra-ta (tractor). Thanks Grammie and Poppa!
 I decided an almost 2 year old's Easter wouldn't be complete without a little Easter egg hunt. So I quickly hid some eggs in our front yard. At first, he was very confused as to why he needed to gather eggs. But eventually he got the hang of it!

23 Months

T minus one month until 2 years old. How??? We sure do have a darling boy! He makes us so happy (most of the time!) This month has brought about big changes with his language development. Up until this point, he had said about 20 words total. This month alone he added another 35. Wow, can we say talking explosion?!? I started keeping a list of his new words on my phone when the number reached about 10. I'm glad that I did because there is no way I would have remembered them all. I'm going to attempt to write them all and include his pronunciation. Bear with me!
Again (gen), Horse (orse), Pan/Fan/Pants/Plane (all sound like dan), Night night (ni ni), Bowl (bol), Boots (boo), Box (baa), Peek a boo (bo booo), Elbow (bobow), Robot (botbot), Jack (gak), Ow, Corn (coorn), Cow (coaw), Hot (ottt), Pot (bot), Barn (baam), Truck (cuck), Ball (bawl), Popper (papaa), Done (dun), Bone (boan), Go, Clean (kean), Jeans (jeen), No no, Cracker (kacker), Jacket (jacka), Fork (ort), Cup (bup), and Please (easse). He also now says Mmmmm when he eats something yummy! So cute. 
He has a book with a dog that has his tongue hanging out, so one day I made a panting noise when we saw him. Now Sawyer's favorite thing to do in that book is to find the dog and pant away! Here are his 23 month pictures. What a stud!
