Can I just share how much I love my sweet Monkey?!

Last night Mark requested a bath early so he could play with Elmo and then he wanted to watch "Choo Choos" before "night night". "Choo Choos" is "Thomas and Friends" which is not my favorite to watch, but he just LOVES it! So anyway, I'm sitting there cuddling with my sweet boy under his quilt and watching "choo choos" just staring at him thinking of just how great he is and how I hate that he's growing up so fast. Oh wait a minute, let me wipe the tears out of my eyes so I can see the screen to finish this post...

Ok...all better. I started crying in the shower Saturday just thinking about how he's not always going to be my tiny boy with the sweet little voice saying "Hi Mama" every day. It's not just the pregnancy hormones talking either, it's the mommy in me. So since there's not a space in his baby book for me to write all his milestones/faves at this age I'm going to write them here for myself.

Mark is almost 23 months old, which I can't believe and here are the list of his current faves:

TV shows: Thomas and Friends, Wonder Pets and Backyardigans
Food: Spaghetti, Broccoli, Green Beans, Apples, Bananas, Graham Crackers, Yogurt
and I'm ashamed to say this...Cookies :)
Toys: basketball goal, water sprayer, Little Tikes car and trains
Activities: coloring, throwing balls, feeding us "pretend" food, horsey rides on our
legs, pushing around his car, playing the piano, tormenting the cat,
drinking from a big boy cup and his absolute fave...Dancing!
Numbers: 2 and 8, he likes to say these when we count to 10
Phrases and words: "Where is Dada", "Choo Choo" and "Cookie"

I'll probably have to add to his in the next couple of days because he just learns so much over night. I love that boy soooo much and I wish I could just snuggle with him all day long!!!
