Just over Nineteen Months Old - A few things

Missed a few entries here. Realized I have six entries for 2015, and 43 for 2014.  

That first year, everything seemed important.  This year, well,, a lot of important things happen, and then you go to bed.

Wanted to record a few milestones.  The first:

MILESTONE TODAY BABY BOY AND NEW MOM DANCED IN THE DRIVEWAY WHILE TO NEW DAD PLAYING DRUMS

Did I mention I bought a drum set?  Probably.  It was about a year ago.  New Dad can barely keep a beat.  Baby boy plays too - emphasis on PLAYS.

A few milestones:

MILESTONE: Can say most of the colors  The colors were learned in this order:

Red
Blue
Green
Brown
Black
Purple
Yellow
Pink
White (just yesterday)

Still hasn't got "orange."  I wonder it that's always the last one kids learn?

Who knows.  Sure don't have time to read other blogs of new fathers... Which makes me wonder...who's reading this?

Kidding.  This is more of a journal.  

MILESTONE: Said his first 3-word sentence this weekend, which was, "Mommy read book."

That's "read" as in a command, such as, "Mommy read this book to me NOW!"

MILESTONE: Claps to songs and music.  Also acts out The Itsy-Bitsy Spider and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.  Learned at daycare, we guess, unless the dog taught him it (unlikely).

Also, today, pooped in the tub for the first time.  Scared daddy, which scared him.  Then daddy tried to laugh it off and encourage the boy to poop in the potty next time.  "So close! Good job!  Almost pooped in potty!"  

The boy stopped crying, but I'm not sure he bought it.
