20 Months Old

John Turner --20 Months Old

I can't belive that John Turner is only 4 months away from being a two-year old! Time does fly when you are having fun!!

At 20 months old, John Turner spends his days outside. And I mean spends his WHOLE day(except for nap) outside! We spend most days doing the following:

• going on wagon rides
• driving his car around the neighborhood and blowing his car's horn at people and talking to people we see
• drawing with his sidewalk chalk
• blowing bubbles
• digging in his sandbox
• going for morning walks in the stroller(he must have a cup of water, a snack cup and his radio before he gets in his stroller)
• collecting rocks
• running, skipping, marching or hopping up the sidewalk
• walking up to our neighbor's doors and saying "knock, knock" and trying to open their doors to go in for a visit. Good thing he is welcome at all of our neighbors' houses!
• watching the birds and calling "tweet, tweet" at them
  
  

He is saying a lot of words and phrases these days! His little toddler voice is so cute!! These are a few cute things he is saying at 20 months that I want to remember.

• He calls himself "Turner" when asked his name.
• If he is asked, "Where is John Turner?" He replys with "right here"
• If I am doing something he wants to do he says "I do it"
• If he can't do something he wants to do he says "help, help"
• After prayers at night when we lay him in his bed and say goodnight, he says "night night amen"
• If you ask him if he is ready to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner he says "eat cookie". Yes, he wants cookies for every meal!
• He puts on his sunglasses and says "cool"
• When asked what an elephant says he says "roll tide"

• Favorite songs to sing right now are "Jesus Loves Me", "Row Row Row Your Boat" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
• When he sees the alphabet in a book or on a picture he starts "saying" his ABCs. They are in very random order and he only says a few of them. Usually he says b,e,a,i,o.
• He points to things and counts them when you ask him how many there are. He usually only makes it up to two though.
• He loves to play "Ring Around the Rosies". He thinks it's hilarious when I fall down at the end!
• He can recognize many of his colors now. He is very good with blue, purple, red, green and yellow.
• He is getting better at getting himself dressed and undressed.

He is just at such a precious age that I could write about stuff he does for hours! He definately brings joy to our lives every day!
