21 months!

Caedon is 21 months old today!

...and I think he knows he turned another month older/closer to age two!  He was sooo grumpy tonight, so much so that I had to text our sitter Heidi to see if Caedon had skipped his nap today.  She said he had napped, and that "He was so good today!"  At least she got to experience that, because we certainly didn't!!

We started reading a Winnie the Pooh Alphabet book last week.  I said, "E is for Eyore"...and then the whole rest of the book he kept saying, "Eyore, Eyore, Eyore" and trying to flip back to that page.  Today, a week later, Chase asked out of the blue, "What is E for, Caedon?" and Caedon said "Eyore!"  When we got to "Q is for Queen" Caedon smiled and sang out "Queen up"...in other words "Clean up!"  I thought that was adorable. :)

And exciting news: Caedon pooped on the potty yesterday!  I was so excited, even though I know it was a total fluke and won't happen again for another few months (at least!).  I called Chase and my parents at work to let them know.  Chase didn't answer, so I tried a few more times.  He later told me I was interrupting his paracentesis procedure (apparently it takes 2 hours?).  But he was still excited!  When Chase finally returned my call at work, he asked to speak to "the pharmacist"...which confuses me.  There are two pharmacists there sometimes, and why can't he just ask for Sara?  Weird.  This is actually the second time he did that.  The first time he asked for the pharmacist and I had just left work and he got connected to my collegue Henry.  I made fun of him for this :)

We got some good video tape tonight of Caedon enjoying Oreos.  Chase wanted to know if I taught him how to open the oreo and eat the cream out of the center - nope!  He figured that one out on his own and was actually leaving some of the chocolate cookie behind and just eating the cream.  And then he noticed that Daddy had milk to dip his cookie in, so he wanted some too!

Chase taught Caedon where his Pinna was.  For those of you, like me, who may not know where that is located - it is the external part of you ear (anything you see, not the internal part of the ear).  Sometimes I am having trouble thinking of new body parts to teach him.  We saw Ben and Bre Vogel at volleyball this week and Caedon decided to point out their eyebrows.  He also knows: hair, head, eyebrow, eye, cheek, ear, nose, mouth, teeth, lips, chin, neck, shoulder, elbow, hand, fingers, heart (he points to it and says Ba-Boom!), belly, belly button, bottom, knee, ankle, heel, and toes.  And oh yeah, Freckle. Thanks for that Mom!  I am starting to work with him on pinky and thumb.

Call me weird, but I am starting to think about Christmas shopping!  It will probably be soon forgotten and left to the last minute, but I am excited about it for now! :)
