I am 23 months old!

I am 23 months old. I am amazing if I do say so myself. Can you believe I am almost TWO???

Well, believe it! I am changing everyday. I know that I have not been doing a good job with my monthly updates, but I am a busy boys these days.

New things about me:
I love Mickey Mouse. He is my pal. I have a stuffed Mickey and he likes to do everything I do. He colors with chalk, eats pancakes and plays with playdoh. Mommy and I each hold Mickey's hand to help him walk down the stairs. I love to say, "Oh Toodoodles" like Mickey and I also now say, "Oh Mommy, Oh Daddy" thanks to Anna.

Speaking of Daddy, when I call him and he doesn't answer I start saying, "Braaat, Braaat".

My favorite saying are: "Hold you, Mommy" and "Cannon does it". I use the later one all the time. I think Mommy gets annoyed with me, especially when I want to cook my own breakfast, pour my own milk, etc. I think she will appreciate it one day.

I still LOVE music, singing and dancing. I am always amazing the parents with all the songs I know!

Speaking of songs. I love to sing "Rock a bye, Baby" to my baby brother. I lay on Mommy's tummy and rock back and forth and sing to the baby. I am always cracking Mommy up with my conversations to the baby. I also like to take the baby's "hand" (by putting my hand on Mommy's belly) and then I take the baby places and show him stuff. I also read him books. I really love to give him kisses and hugs.

I counted to 14 last week while I was playing with my playdoh with NO HELP and I counted 16 steps with Daddy.

I know more colors too. I still prefer to say everything is GREEN but I know pink, green, brown, purple, black and white. This week Mommy asked me about the color pink and I amazed her by telling her Reagan (my neighbors) Barbie car was pink. I just knew this all on my own. She was impressed!

I am a big helper too. I help Mommy do the laundry, vaccum, sweep, dust and even help Daddy fix things.

Lately, I have been putting myself in timeout. If I do something bad, Mommy will say "No, Cannon do not throw that" and I say, "Time out" and go get in my chair. I do not need anyone to tell me when I am bad. I already know!

One of the things I say that Mommy thinks is cute is "C'mon Grammy" and I wave my hand at him to come. I also say "C'mon you guys" to my stuffed animals.

I am big, cute and quite the entertainer. I am pretty sure my parents think I am the BEST! Well, I AM you know.

I AM 18 months old!

Can you believe that I am 18 months old?

Well, it is true...

I am ALMOST TWO!

I saw my pediatrician today, Dr. Tripp.

She thinks I am so funny.

I think I impressed her today with my ABC's. She also pointed pictures out to me from my book and I even told her what they were! Yes, she was impressed. :)

I even let her look in my ears...and they are perfect. Have you people even noticed that I have not been sick ONCE since my surgery????

I got two shots and that made me very upset but "Maama"

did give me two lollipops to make up for it.

Lately, Dada has been saying that I was getting skinny and Maama did not believe him. Well, today I only weighed 28.3 lbs which is in the 80th percentile (I have always been 90-98th in weight). I am 33.75 inches long (90th percentile, getting taller) and my head is 48cm

(75th percentile).

Mom promises to put up an 18 month photo this week but she keeps saying I need a haircut first. :)

I AM 16 months old!

Can you believe how big I am?

Oh yes! Big I , I am!

I am 16 month old today!

You would not believe all the things I can say and do!

Oh, the words I can say!

So many words, if my mom typed them all it would take all day!

At my last doctor's appointment I weighed 28.6 pounds (75th percentile) and my height also dropped to the 75th percentile. Cannot remember exactly how long I was!

If you follow my blog at all, you know all about me.

Just in case you do not follow my moms amazing blog, a little about me,

I am a walker and a runner, I serious climber,

A great eater, a seriously funny comedian, an accomplished dancer,

A golfer that even Tiger Woods would be jealous of, I am my Mommy's boy for sure,

I love cats like crazy and I am beginning to really like dogs too.

I love music and crayons, paint too.

I still do not like church nursery but I no longer cry the entire hour.

I love baths and bubbles, I still wear cloth diapers and I love babies.

I love to read and Chicka Chicka, Boom Boom is my favorite.

My favorite food is yogurt.

I am learning to use a potty!

I have all my teeth except my second year molars!

I have many friends and I am a happy boy!

This is my lady killer smile.

Can you see how much bigger I am than this bear? Do you remember some of my older pictures with this bear? Yeah...I know BIG and HANDSOME that is MOI!

I love to give hugs and kisses. Especially to my animal friends and my little human friends too. For some reason, I seem to be the kid that other kids like to hit!

Why?? I am a lover and not a fighter!

You see these teeth? I have almost all my teeth now. Thank the good Lord! Teething is miserable for me and all bystanders! Now, I can eat everything including hard granola. And yes, Mimi WHOLE grapes!

I am a sweet boy, so my Mom and Dad says! I am getting bigger every day!

This is me and today I am 16 months old.

I am SEVEN Months Old!

I am SEVEN months old.

I can do everything!

I can roll, sit up by myself, crawl ("army"), pull up and stand by myself!

I love to play, SCREAM and laugh.

Everyone loves my blue eyes and still comment on how happy I am.

Sometimes I am a good sleeper, sometimes I am not.

I like to eat and have recently decided that peas are Yummo!

I have added green beans, plums, blueberries and a few other s to my "favs".

I usually eat breakfast and dinner, sometimes lunch too!

I still HATE that crib thing. Why do Mom and Dad keep putting me in that contraption??

Please tell them to stop it! I will never like it, so STOP trying!

Everyday I try something new and amaze Mom and Dad.

Lately, they have been calling me a little clown.

I have to admit I do have a great sense of humor and I am quite entertaining.

I am friendly most days but sometimes men scare me.

Oh and I HATE dogs. Yes, I do! My mom did not make me say that!

I hate when they lick me, it makes me cry.

I hate it even more when they bark! That makes me cry even more!

But, when my cats meow, I smile. Cats are nice.

Recently, I began to really notice the two furry creatures living in my home.

I love to watch them, and smile at them. Sometimes I even grab 'em!

Ollie doesn't like that to much. He does like it when I pet him nice though.

My new favorite things are my remote control and my cell phone.

NO! These are not toys, but the REAL thing!

My Mom gave me an old remote and my Mimi gave me an old cell. Love 'em!

Well, I think that is all for this month! I love you all!

I am SIX Months Old.

This is Cannon's update letter that he mailed out this week.

He was a little late getting these out.

Hi Everyone!

I am now 6 months old! Mom weighed and measured me yesterday and…drum roll please...I weigh 21 pounds and I am 27 inches long! I am growing like a weed as they say down here in the south! I am still kind of baldy but it looks good on me!

I am rolling over like crazy, “inching” around on the floor (mom says I am going backwards but I am doing as I please). I also can hold my self up in a sitting position. I love eating books and my silver rattle is my favorite toy! I love Old MacDonald, that is my favorite song. I squeal, laugh and babble. Mommy still calls me her Little Monkey and Dad has MANY nicknames for me.

Everyone says I am happy and I like to smile at people. They really get a kick out of it. I am really starting to like my dad, that man is SILLY! However, could someone please tell him that that Brillo pad he wears on his face, HURTS!

I love to sleep on my tummy and two weeks ago I started letting Mommy sleep. I can sleep from 11pm-7am without nursing, most days!! I still love baths and splashing is so fun! The bathroom floor never needs to be mopped anymore!

Speaking of sleep, I no longer take my daytime naps in my swing! Swings are for babies and I am BIG! I like taking my naps in Mommy’s bed.

Everything I touch goes in my mouth, and I am learning that not everything tastes as good as sweet potatoes! Oh yes, I am eating now. I love sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and broccoli is okay. I have tried avocado, potatoes, apples, pears, zucchini, peaches and of course, bananas! Mom is making my food for now…I am enjoying my new tastes and getting messy!

Oh and for all you “doubters” Mom is STILL using cloth diapers and lovin’ it!

I recently traveled to West Virginia to meet some family. I think I was a hit! They loved me! I decided to be a good traveler and slept like a champ! Mom and Dad stopped a few times and let me get out and play! I got a TOOTH when we got back! My first one!! And, guess what NOW I have two!! Man, those teeth HURT!

I still have a playgroup that meets at our house and recently we have been enjoying the Sprinkler Park. I love water! Last weekend, Mom and Dad took me to the beach. My first beach trip! Uncle Ryan and Natalie went with us. I discovered my new favorite food, SAND! I ate handfuls and it was good stuff!

Well, I think it is time for my nap! I love you all and I hope to hear from you soon. I love to read… so send me some Fan Mail.

I love you- Cannon
