Ella's 7th month

Ella your 7 month has been challenging for mommy but you have had 2 big milestones! You finally can sit up on your own and you figured out how to get anywhere you want by scooting. it's very funny because you use both arms but only your right leg. You have also begun getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth but we are still waiting to see you officially crawl. Still no words, but some mumblings of gaga bababh. I thought i heard momma once at a last night feeding but nothing officially counts until i can tell it's for real. the last few days of month 7 you came down with your first real illness. you woke up with a fever, puked on mommy and cried non stop. we went to the dr and turns out you got a virus that was going around - sore throat, fever of 102.5 and lots of crying. 4 days last you broke out in a blotchy rash which the dr warned about - (you didn't have rosiola).
so far you are not sleeping through the night and continue to be a crazy eater. i dont' know why you can't sit still and drink your bottle. i literlly have to strap you down in the carseat to eat during the day. you don't like your highchair either, you open your mouth to eat your food but just whine and want to get down. personally mommy doesn't get it. you want to be held and / or have mommy in sight at all times, it's pretty crazy. mommy is really hoping you grow out of this stage ASAP b/c it's exhausting! :( I love you and want you to be happy. one thing you love more than milk is your mesh ice thing that holds ice cubes, you love that!
I am welcoming month 8 with open arms!

Tyler as an official 2 year old toddler boy!

month 24 and 25 proved to be the biggest milestone since walking (in my opinion). At your 2 year visit you were 28lbs and 35 inches tall. The doctor asked if you were putting together two words at a time and i said yes, but the real answer was, no - not really. The next day you started putting two words together - no joke. Instead of Mommy........Please, it was, Mommy please. Two word sentences has quickly turned into 3,4, and 5 words. Some cute things you have said:
"Mommy, turn off mouth" - as you pointed at my lips while I talked on the phone during your favorite Mickey Mouse episode. To your credit, what a great sentence, but we will have to work on manners too. Still, pretty cute!!
Everything to you is on and off. You particularly love water fountains and say, "water fountain, ON" every time you see one running.
Yesterday while eating dinner you randomly said "Turn on fireplace please, Gran-Mommy" This was adorable, #1 b/c granmommy wasn't here, and #2 b/c that was a big sentence for you! You love fireplaces and find them in every house, restaurant and book and ALWAYS want them to be turned on so you can say, "fireplace, ON, HOT". LOl. Some really cute things you have said are " Daddy, finger kiss" when you hurt your finger. "mommy, hug please" when he wants to snuggle
Words that you refuse to say right:
a light is a Yuck, a fan is a Fiy
You love to call yourself Ty Ty Boston, you are always concerned and asking Ella Boston? It actually sounds like Ella Bossin? When we visit friends you get up really close in other peoples faces, kids or adults and say, Ella Bossin? As if you are asking, where is my sister? I don't know this house....VERY CUTE! You have also begun to show 'a very slight' concern when Ella cries, you say, Ella cry, OKAY...meaning Ella don't cry, it's okay.
More updates to come.
I love that you want hugs all day and kiss for all ouches, but unsolicited hugs are the best!!
