JT is a funny, cute, talkative, crazy, & sometimes destructive little boy full of determination and persistance.
We love him and are generally found laughing at him and his ways…BUT sometimes we get tired at night trying to keep up with him and his business! I love his age so much – I look forward to him waking up each day and seeing his cute smile. I also look forward to bedtime after a tiring day of chasing. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
JT can say many words: He calls Lexi (Exi), Mason (Meesown), Lily (can’t really say it "L’s" are hard and she has 2), Olivia (via). We love it when he walks around after someone toots and tells everyone "_____ is poopy". He did this today in Nursery. He told his teacher he was poopy and she brought him to me. I went to go change him and he was dry as a bone – I think he must have just tooted. Funny boy. He loves to talk very loudly too by the way which makes Sacrament meeting fun :). He almost always puts a "y" or "ies" on the end of his words: panties (aka – pants), sockeys, shirty, spoony, etc..
JT loves to build with blocks and then knock them over. He is pretty good and throwing them at people too – we are working with him on that one. He is into matchbox cars and any toy that makes noise. His favortie bedtime songs are "I am a child of God" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." I noticed that he does not like to have his socks taken off or gloves if he has them on. He also doesn’t like it if one shoe falls off and the other one is still on – it makes him very stressed. He like his pairs in pairs I guess. He loves to play with mine or Stephen’s iphones! He is great at unlocking it and knows just what buttons to push to get what he wants, he is a fast learner. This iphone fetish has come in handy on many occasions when we need to keep his mind busy at a choir concert or doctor office. The toddler applications are my favorite downloads!
He is a great eater and will eat most anything that is put in front of him. He is also good at playing with his food. At the end of most meals he has dumped his drink onto his food.
And last but not least, because it happens over and over throughout the day – he loves to use a barstool to get what he needs. We raise independent children around here!
