Summer!




It's been a fun summer so far in the Green house. We've been busy the last few weeks trying to organize and slowly get ready for kiddo #2. Hopefully he/she doesn't come very early because we have a lot to do still to get ready, it seems. On the plus side, we have managed to move the furniture around and the new nursery is now painted, so it's definitely coming along.

Since I've been extra neglectful to the blog lately, I thought I would do a snapshot of Callum at 20 months, so here goes.
Loves:
-Trains--every time he hears one at home, we have to go outside to watch, which is great except the trains that go past are usually really long and slow.
-Books--he's always been a reader, and this has not changed as he's gotten older. He loves to stall for naps/nighttime by insisting on more books.
Sometimes he likes to find unusual places to read.

-Comics--he loves all books, but he especially loves the comics section of the newspaper. This is how I found him one morning as I was trying to clean up the kitchen.

-Talking--he will talk to anyone and everyone and is definitely not shy about people. He has an extensive vocabulary, which can sometimes be both a good and bad thing at the same time. It's great when he can say what he wants, but it's not so great when he says it over and over again.
-Eating--he especially loves bananas (he usually asks for one the first couple of minutes of waking up every morning), crackers, cheese, green beans, spinach, pasta, pizza, and beans. He's generally a great eater and we can't complain about most of his choices.
-Drawing--he loves to use pencils/pens/crayons, and whatever other writing utensils he can get his hands on. He likes to color, but he also likes when we write down letters and he points them out. He can recognize several of them, including A, C, F, G, O, S, T, W, X, Y, Z. Colors--now that's a different story.

Callum's pretty easygoing usually, so there are definitely a lot of loves on his list right now! I'll try to update again soon with the not-as-fun dislikes :).
