Drake the Pirate!!
22 Months!! WOW!! I can't believe it's already time to start planning your second birthday!! Seems like I just got finished planning your first birthday!! We are having SO much fun watching you grow!! You amaze us everyday!! You are still learning new words and talking more and more each day! Now, not only are you saying just words, but now you are saying phrases, and multiple words for what you want. When you grunt or make a noise and point towards something, we tell you to "use your words," since you know how to ask for what you want. It's SO nice that you are talking now and we can communicate with you better!
This month has been a lot of fun, and very busy, as usual. We celebrated Halloween, and you had such a fun time being a cute pirate. We visited First Baptist Fall festival, then attended our Trunk-0r-Treat at our church Sunday evening, then went trick-or-treating to some houses in our neighborhood. You also had a fun Halloween party at Mrs. Pammie's house. Mommy fixed you some really cute treat bags to take to all your friends!
We also visited the Pumpkin patch with mommy, daddy, Gigi, Poppa Mike, and Nana. You loved watching the tractors and picking your very own pumpkin. It was a beautiful day, and perfect for pumpkin picking!
Your favorite songs right now are "Jesus Loves Me," which you want mommy to sing to you every night before you go to bed, and "We have Overcome," by Joel Olsteen, which is one of the praise and worship songs we sing at church. Your favorite word in that song is "Hallelujah" - which is SO cute to hear you say! :)
Your favorite book right now is the Bible. You and daddy read a story out of your children's Bible every night. You like to bring it to daddy and pick out a story for him to read. Then, daddy, mommy, and you say a prayer before going to bed. You help in the prayer by saying "amen" at the end of the prayer.
You have been doing really good sleeping in your big toddler bed. You had a couple weeks where you would get up multiple times before finally going to sleep, but lately, you have been going to sleep as soon as we put you in bed! Mommy and daddy thank you for that! :)
I can't wait for our upcoming Holidays!! You were just a little baby last year and didn't really realize what was going on, but his year you will have SO much fun!! :)
You are the most amazing little 22 month old I have ever known!! You melt our hearts daily, and challenge daddy and I to be the best parents to you!! The Lord has blessed us beyond words when he gave you to us!!
Remember always: You are kind, you are smart, you are important, and you are a child of the King!!!
I love you,
Mommy
