Teddy is 19 Months Old!!!!!

Another month has flown by and I almost forgot to take Teddy's monthly picture with his bear. We were at my parents' house having dinner with my aunts who were driving through when Shae reminded me Teddy was 19 months that day!! We didn't get home until after 9pm but subjected poor Teddy to a photo shoot before he could get on his pajamas and go to bed.

Over the past month, Teddy has continued to expand his vocabulary. He has started speaking in more sentences (he says "I dropped it" or "I got it" about 10 times a day) and he is learning more and more people's names. He even identifies himself in pictures now as "baby Teddy." He has gotten really good at making different animal noises and he has started trying to sing some of his favorite songs. He still loves Elmo, but seems to be broadening his love to all of the Sesame Street characters. For the past week or so, the first thing he says in the morning has changed to "Books! More books!" (sorry Elmo) and he loves to have books read to him. He also really likes helping me out around the house- he continues to help unload the dishwasher, and yesterday he "helped" me with the laundry. He is still very affectionate and loves to give kisses and hugs. He is very friendly and says "hi" and "bye" to everyone and everything around him ("Bye flower. Bye ball. Bye camera" etc...) He is such a fun little man and I love to make him laugh. The other day I found an easy new way to entertain him.... I had a piece of gum and when I blew a bubble he just about went nuts!! It was a great way to keep him happy as I walked all around the grocery store. So what if every two seconds he was yelling "More BUBBLES" right? He is funny too because while he has learned to say please, when he really wants something he will sort of yell the word "PLEASE" in a not-so-polite tone. We'll have to work on that. By these pictures you can probably tell he continues to grow bigger and bigger. He may even finally outgrow these size 12 month clothes he has been wearing since he was 7 months old!!!

Teddy is SOOO big:

I caught Teddy singing some of his songs:
