Mateus at 19 months....

Every month is something new and 19 months is no different.  Mateus is becoming quite the talker. He is starting to put two words together (the speech therapist in me is so proud!) and his favorite combination is "Daddy truck" which we hear many many times a day.
- Did I mention that his current obsession is trucks and cars? and telling you that they go "beep beep"
- Sings often in the mornings in his crib.  He has a "mashup" of Rain Rain Go Away and Baa Baa Black Sheep that is his favorite.
- Gets so excited when he sees a dog anywhere
- Now goes down the slide at the park by himself and is showing no fear with the tunnel slides that he used to be afraid of
- LOVES fruit!  But other food groups not so much.  I feel like we could feed a homeless shelter with the amount of food we throw away!
- Loves to push his lawn mowers up and down the driveway
- Is very interested in birds and knows that they eat at the feeder in our yard
- Has developed a "look" that tells you that he is not going to listen to you and instead is going to do exactly as he chooses....we are in so much trouble!
- Is very interested in Nala's whereabouts whenever we are home and tries to engage her in a game of "catch the fork" during meal times
- Loves to help take the garbage out and insists on carrying bags by himself
- Is obsessed with water and wants to play in it where ever and whenever.
- Is learning the names of his teachers at daycare and will ask for them on the weekends
- Keeps us busy, on our toes, and entertained everyday!
