Our Sweet 19th Month Old

My oh My....Where to begin?! I know I say this every month but I think Cole is more fun now than ever before. He is so funny and he knows it which makes it even funnier to be with him. Cole is growing like a weed. He LOVES Thomas the Tank Engine and anything to do with trucks, trains and cars. He runs around the house pumping his arm yelling "choo choo" all day long. I have taken him to Barnes and Noble a few times to play with the train set and he is totally in heaven! He still enjoys farm animals quite a bit too. He loves to sing along (in his own words) with us when we sing to him which is super cute. He still loves to read and he really loves picking out the book that we read to him. We recently have made his pacifier a bedtime only item and he is doing very well with that. Cole has a bit of a hard time giving it up when he wakes up from his nap but he gets over it very quickly. Since we have made this new rule he is talking so much more and saying so many new things every day. I love listening to him babble away and I love that we understand him even when no one else does. He loves to sit on the potty and say "pee pee" but that is as far as it goes. He has never "done anything" on the potty but at least he is making the connection. We see more and more that Cole has a servant's heart. He loves helping us around the house and he has really started trying to help other kids when they need it as well. We feel so proud of him whenever we see him reaching out to others. I wish I was more like him in so many ways! Cole is a thinker - just like Rhonald. Although he loves to run and be silly he can also get very serious when he is playing with his toys. He likes things just so and has a hard time when they don't work out how he wants them too. He loves to line things up over and over. Cole is still eating like a champ and now points to each item on his plate and asks what it is or tells us what it is if he knows. We do this about 10 times with each meal but I know it is how he learns. He is doing very well with a spoon and a plate. We love this little guy so much and simply adore everything he does. Sorry if these monthly posts get boring but I have to have some way of keeping up with all he is doing. Thank you, once again, for going on this journey with us!
