I really can't believe my son is already 20 months old. It kind of makes me sad seeing old videos of him as a little, immobile baby. Now here he is in his toddler-hood having tantrums, being stubborn, and getting into EVERYTHING. He is such a typical boy but at the same time, it is so cute seeing him puff his face with my make-up brush or put a necklace on.
Thankfully, we've always had snuggle time, even after I stopped nursing at a little after 4 months. We always sit together and read books before naptime and bedtime and in the mornings or after waking up, sometimes Lucas needs a little time to wake up so we get to snuggle up then too. He doesn't know how to say sorry, so he always gives hugs whenever he feels bad or is sorry.
My two biggest frustrations at this point are his pacifier and the fact that he STILL chews on everything. He also tends to pick up food and eat it off the ground, but I think that's mainly just cause he is a hungry boy. He has gotten most of his teeth already so I'm not really sure why he feels the need to still chew on things. And of course I was bad and should have taken away his pacifier at 15 months when he didn't care but now he asks for it quite often. I do try to just use it at sleep times but that doesn't always pan out.
I can definitely see how mom's get an itching for a new baby once their child starts growing up. Lucas wants to be independent, even though he can't be yet. I'm sure he thinks he can do whatever he wants :) He is a wonderful little boy though and I can't help but be in awe of him and feel so blessed to have his in my life.
