Tanner's speech is taking off! He is saying new words everyday. It is amazing to see him learning new things all the time. He is such a curious kid and is always asking, "What's this?" Some new words are grandma, grandpa, Elmo, cookie, cracker, thank you, please, me, mine, duck, horse, cow, song, and book. At his 15 month appointment, his pediatrician wanted him to have 15-20 words. He had that no problem. Then he said that at his 18 month appointment, he was looking for around 60 words. I thought that he was crazy. Well, I am pretty sure Tanner has well over 60 words in his vocabulary already. He loves to look at books and wants to know names of pictures.
Well, I think the "terrible twos" arrived a bit early ;). Tanner started to have little fits when we told him "no" to something. He started just throwing himself on the ground and crying. Now he is grabbing toys and throwing them when he gets mad. He doesn't do it for anyone but us :) Aren't we lucky? Lol. He gets over his issues pretty quickly and gets back to playing. He can also climb on top of our table and makes a mad dash for the table every time we are in the kitchen. He is also an avid rock collector. Everywhere we go, he finds rocks...then I find them all over the house. They are in his toys, in our drawers, on the table, in the laundry. I always smile when I find one, because I know he put it there :)
Tanner went a few months without getting any new teeth. Well, it seemed like overnight, he got two more. One night, he woke up screaming, and I mean SCREAMING for about an hour. No temperature, clean diaper, gave him milk and food, nothing calmed him. Turns out, the next morning he had two new teeth. Poor guy :(. They are both lower back teeth. So now his tooth count is at 10 and it looks as if a few more are getting ready to sprout through.
Tanner is now sleeping in a toddler bed! He was getting to the point where we thought he might be able to get out of his crib by himself. So, we made the decision to get him a toddler bed. I was nervous because Tanner never sits still. If he can be up and moving, he is up and moving. He is always doing multiple things at a time, like playing with a toy and watching Sesame Street, while climbing on our coffee table. So, I thought, this is going to be a nightmare to transition him into a bed that he can freely get in and out of. The first night, he climbed right up like he had been doing it his entire life and curled up into his blanket. He was asleep in minutes. He slept the entire night in his bed. He has done soooo well with the transition. He loves his bed and looks so cute sleeping in it. I can't believe he is already out of a crib.
