21 Months

*This post, intended for Friday, the 13th, was put on hold until today, due to technical difficulties with video uploading. ha!

Friday, Mill was 21 months old.  He is learning more and more each day, and continues to prove us wrong when we think he is not capable of doing or saying something.  Everyone always told me of how observant a toddler is.  I believe it!  He surprises us with something new, something he has learned, every day.

Just Thursday, Mills started saying, "Oh no!"  It's his new thing and funny at that. I am thinking that cousin Lainey may have taught him that one!   He is becoming quite the little drama king.  We still cannot understand half of the things he says, but we know he is saying something, because it is the same jibber-jabber each time.  It is still cute regardless. 

There has not been much change in anything since my last "monthly" post.  Usually, I have a cute little picture to go along, but today, we have a video instead.   Sometimes you've just got to break habit.

Mill goes down for a nap each day around 1:00.  Friday, he was not having it.  That is very unlike him.  After minutes and minutes of crying, I kept thinking he would just give in and go to sleep.  He's a fighter. No doubt!  Not having his pacifier, which used to put him straight to sleep, has also contributed to delayed slumber.  It is days like this when the devil is tempting me to give in, but...I have not.

Sitting in his crib, he finally stopped crying, but something funny happened, and I had to get the video camera.  This little man was sitting up trying his best not to lay down, but just couldn't stay awake.  His little head was bobbing and his body would lean just before snapping it back up.  He just would NOT lay down.
Due to technical difficulties with uploading.  I had to "trim" the video.  You get the idea...


After this event, that I actually filmed for about 10 minutes after his crying ceased, E went up to lay him down.  He woke up, crying again, and never took a nap.  Oh well!
