Well, Friday marked Drake's 20 month birthday!!!! Up until this point, when someone had asked how old Drake was, I would say 15 months, 18 months, etc. But, when Drake turned 20 months, it just sounded weird to say 20 months. So, I've decided until the day of his 2nd birthday, I'll just tell people Drake is 1 1/2 years old!! :) That makes me feel a lot better also!! I'm not ready for him to be 2!! I was okay with one, but for some reason 2 is getting to me!!
Anyways, let's get on to the fun things that has happened this month!!
Drake,
WOW!!! How fast you are growing! You are doing SO much and talking, talking, talking!! You will repeat anything we ask you to say!! Which can be a lot of fun sometimes, like asking you to say "helicopter" or "shark." You try your hardest to say it, and I have to admit, it's a pretty cute version of the word! Mrs. Sandra told me the other day that she blew her nose, and you told her "bless you!" She thought that was so cute!!
Some new words lately, and even some new multiple words/phrases: bless you, thank you, welcome, all done, wash, thank you momma, chloe sit, outside, big boy, my man, and almost anything we ask you to say! :)
But, my favorite phrase that you say right now is: Happy Birthday daddy!!! We have had a lot of birthdays the last month, and Co-Co's was first, so that's when you learned to say happy birthday. Then, daddy's birthday was next, so we accomplished "happy birthday daddy." Although, the day of daddy's birthday, you wouldn't say it to him!! :) Next came Gi-gi's birthday, and that was a little harder to say, it was kind of all jumbled together!! But, she love
You also transitioned into a big boy bed!!!! Well, it's just a toddler bed, but it's a big bed to mommy!! :) Mommy wasn't sure about how this would work out, but daddy reassured me that you would do great!! And, you did!! You slept all night your first night, and didn't even get up once!! Since then, you still are doing great at staying in bed, although you have decided to get up VERY early!!! We'll be working on that!! :)
Helping daddy put together the toddler bed!!
Hanging out with daddy at the zoo!
We LOVED the elephants!!! And, especially the baby elephant!!
Mommy and Drake at the zoo!!
You got to visit the OKC Zoo for the first time!! You had SO SO much fun!!! It was such a nice day, and the zoo wasn't very busy, so you were able to get really close to the cages and windows to see everything!! And, for being so good, mommy and daddy bought you your own stuffed rhino!! :)
You finished up summer by swimming in daddy's redneck pool (a.k.a. an ice chest). You had SO much fun and played and played in the water!! It's getting a little cool for water days now, which makes mommy sad, because you had SO much fun this summer in the water!
Mommy and daddy have always prayed with you at night, but lately, you have wanted to pray, and have gotten used to doing this before bedtime. You like to sit on daddy's lap while holding mommy's hand. Then daddy prays over you, and when he's finished, you say "Amen." It is the absolute cutest thing in the world!!! That at such a young age, you are already praying and knowing who Jesus is!!!
You are growing SO much everyday and I can't wait to see what this month holds!!
Love you SO SO much~~~~
Mommy
