today you are 21 months

_which means you are 3 months away from turning two and i should start thinking about your 2nd birthday party. i know the design of your birthday cake i'll be making but i'm still undecided about the party itself.
_ you are like a little parrot this month, repeating after everything we say. we have to be extra careful of what we say in front of you.
_you started putting three words together like 'mummy wear shoes'. my favourite phrase this month has got to be 'bike bike boom boom'.
_you started saying your own name and referring yourself as a third person. you call yourself babiel (Gabriel).
_on top of Pororo, you now like to watch Postman Pat, O-not (Octonauts), Fireman Sam and Driver Dan. you get upset when the shows are over on tv and we often have to give you the iPad so that you can continue to watch these shows on YouTube.
_you are at a phase where you like everything big. you prefer your big bottle over the small one and you prefer to get in daddy's big car rather than my small car.
_daddy wants to start reading books with a story line to you but your attention span is still very short. he says he will keep trying.
_you now know what you like and what you don't. you get upset and throw a tantrum when we don't give you what you want. we try not to give in to you too much.
_after 20 months, you finally started sleeping through the night consistently. last month i only had to go into your room a handful of times in the middle of the night.
_you are still not very good at sharing. you don't like to share your food, your toys or your mummy. you get very upset when i talk to another child at daycare.
_you are at such a fun age at the moment and i hope you will continue to be the cheeky little boy that you are.
