20 Things About Our 20 Month Old

We try to keep things real over here at Snickelfritz Lane so please disregard the giant booger in his nose. Sunglasses + bright sun + camera lens + spring allergies + squirmy toddler = oops, should have gotten a tissue.

Also, note his less than stellar haircut. It started out ok until pieces of hair got in his mini M&Ms and that just made him upset.

I can't believe he is 20 months old. Some of our favorite things he is saying/doing:

He calls Fletcher "Che-chee" (short e sound then long e sound at the end).

He loves playing in Fletcher's room especially if Fletcher is not in there.

He's been known to jump on the bed in Fletcher's room which is one of the reasons why Fletcher's room has a baby gate at the door

He calls all drinks "wah-wee" (his word for water).

He calls crackers "kee-kahs"

He is starting to put words together like Daddy's truck, Mommy's wah-wee (shh, it's really Diet Coke), Che-chee's teeth.

He is learning to say please and still does the sign with it (rub flat hand on chest in circular motion).

He can sing the nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah BATMAN!

His favorite Bible story right now is Meme MahMah - his words for Mary and Martha. To his credit, MeMe MahMah do look sort of cute in this particular Bible.

If he falls or drops something he says, "Whoa".

He can do the motions to the Zachheus Was a Wee Little Man Song.

He loves most food and is getting pretty good at using a spoon and a fork.

He has learned what a tortilla chip is and asks for them frequently.

He calls all hats "Yee Ha's" because Fletcher used to put on Kevin's cowboy hat and yell Yee Ha!

He loves all kinds of trucks, construction vehicles, firetrucks, 18 wheelers, etc. Fortunately, for us we live in an area where there seems to be road construction EVERYWHERE (but I'm not bitter) so we get to see lots of bull dozers, graders, etc.

He calls Elmo "Eee - on". Same thing as a donkey sound.

He puts his hands together to pray and then whispers something we can't understand.

He likes listening to music in the car and frequently "dances" in his car seat.

His favorite friend in the neighborhood is Ella and he calls out her name "Yella, Yella" when we drive by her house.

He loves riding his "Tick-I-Tick-el" which is his tricycle (say it fast). I use the term riding loosely since the tricycle has a push bar and Kevin or I end up pushing him around since he can't pedal yet.

He is too cute! (and I didn't even notice a big booger!) Jack's name for Curt was "Yagen". Don't know how he came up with that---we used to say he was speaking "Jackenese".
