Sweet Mathias will be 19 months old this upcoming Wednesday. Where does all the time go??? So in lieu with all the hub-bub that has been happening around the holidays, I'm posting all new updates strictly revolving around my handsome little boy, as well as a video clip at the end of this post.
- runs out of control, walks backwards, sideways, walks up and down stairs w/assistance
- able to place things in and out of containers...for example, can hold a bucket in one hand while placing toys inside of it with the other hand
- meticulously lines up a number of objects in a straight line...for example, bottles, cups, balls, blocks (OCD just like his mother?)
- "brushes" his teeth...more like sucks on the toothbrush bristles, but close enough
- able to feed himself with utensils
- can take off his own clothes...particularly when it's bathtime
- open and close doors (looooves shutting doors)
- knows when something is wrong or when he's in trouble
- covers his ears if something is too loud...or when we scold him (too cute)
- mimicks your facial expressions very well...for instance, if you smile, he'll smile. if you stick out your tongue, he'll do that same. pout your lips and he'll do the same.
- he recognizes his own reflection now
- can throw overhand...learning to dunk basketball into hoop
- cocka cocka = quack quack (like his rubber ducky)
- booball = football
- oooooo = this sound is used for so many things, but most importantly to sing along with the theme song for Spongebob Squarepants
- num num = wanting food (yummy), he usually makes this noise in a lip-smacking way whenever I'm holding him while I cook in the kitchen...or even when I walk up to him with a plate of food
Here's the lil' booger getting ready to head out for dinner at his Emo Sara's house. He was bundled up for the cold snow outside and I have to say...pretty darn cute!
Enjoy!
- loves trying to "talk"...is quite a babbler :) he makes up his own words, but so far this is the new stuff that I'm able to interpret along with any of the older words he's already learned to say:
