They always ask about speech and Graham is right on target there. He does say one full sentence already "I want that", which is pretty advanced. I started a list of words he says now, I am sure there are some missing:
Mama
Dada
Sissy (this is what he calls Parker!)
Otie
ball
hot
cold
milk
more
book
car
bowl
uh oh
go
dog
bubble
eye
color
coat
Graham is proving to be a pretty determined kid. He gets very upset if he can't get what he wants, although I think this is pretty usual at this age. He is much better about getting into things, partly because he plays with Parker more often. Graham is really good at following directions and loves to help with little things, like throwing items in the trash can. He still a snuggle bug and loves to be held. Graham especially loves to sit on your lap and read books. He loves animal books and just animals in general and is learning all of their appropriate sounds.
He still takes one nap in the afternoon. At school, it's 2-2.5 hours, but at home he will sleep for usually 3.5-4 hours. He sleeps great at night, going down easy and never waking up. His bedtime is 7:30pm and he usually sleeps until 6:30-7:00am. He does still use a pacifier, mostly for sleeping, but at home he finds them around the house pops it in.
His four canine teeth are coming in right now, all but one has poked through. I hope to ween him off the pacifier after those teeth are finished.
Graham loves to run and be chased and loves to make noise. Whether joyfully screaming or banging on something, he likes it loud.
We got his first haircut a couple weeks ago and in typically Graham fashion he screamed and cried the entire time.
He loves his big "sissy" and will do everything she does...total shadow mode.
