23 months old today

It is hard to believe that Tobey will be 2 years old in only one more month.  He has changed significantly this past month both in his speech and in his ability to reason. Here are a few things that have happened just in the last day or two:

• He is saying a lot more 2 word phrases:
• Tattoo done (Tobey is done eating is what he meant)
• Turn on
• Turn around
• Orange seed
• There are others, but those are the ones coming to mind right now.
• When I told him we were taking his picture, he went over to the couch and sat in the corner and waited for us.  He knew exactly what we meant.
• He is starting to really fight taking naps and going to bed.  He uses all kinds of stall tactics, such as milk, wanting to be rocked, and needing a particular parent to put his blanket on him.
• Today, while I was checking the mail, he locked the front door. The dogs were in the back yard so the backdoor was unlocked so at least I had a way in.  He tried to unlock it once I told him to, but he couldn't do it.
• He told me there were orange seeds in his milk.  (Starting to get creative!)
• He visited Terri's students today and was able to sort colored pens.
• Yesterday, he told me he wanted mac and cheese for lunch.

I am sure other significant things have happened, but this is what I am remembering right now.  Here is his 23 month picture along with a picture of him putting on my socks.
