Hi Mommy

My favourite two words these days are "Hi Mommy."  If Cub Scout sees me walking towards the car or if I walk into a room where he is he'll say "Hi Mommy" in the cutest voice imagineable.

At 22 months, he's such a little talker.  This morning I sneezed and he said "bless you, Mommy."  When I replied "thank you" he said "no problem."  Every day when Mr. Scout and Cub Scout pick me up from work, Cub Scout starts waving from the back window and saying "Hi Mommy, Hi Mommy, Hi Mommy" repeatedly as soon as he sees me walk out of the building.  It melts my heart every time.

He loves to say "hi" and "bye" and wave.  He'll be watching a cartoon and when it's over he'll say "bye Toopy Binoo" or "bye Max & Ruby."

I have finally gotten out of the crippling fatigue that plagued me from the beginning of this pregnancy. It is so nice to have some energy back. I spent the entire weekend playing with Cub Scout, going for walks with him, playing in the park. He enjoyed the slides at the park this weekend so much. He would climb to the top, say "ready, set, go" and then slide down laughing all the way. When he got to the bottom he'd say "Fun!" and climb back up again.

The ipad is his new favourite toy.  He'll sit and watch the educational videos as long as we'll let him and he knows how to scroll through the videos using his fingers and say "this one" when he finds one he wants to watch and then tap the screen to make it play.

And his fascination with trains continue.  He says "chugga, chugga, choo choo" every time he hears or sees one.  He says "all aboard" and I say "here's your ticket" and he'll pretend to take it out of my hand and put it in his pocket.  He also loves to pretend sleep these days and will making snoring noises. Or if he sees mommy or daddy or one of the cats with our eyes closed he'll hold his finger to his mouth and say "shhh, mommy sleeping."

Today when he saw Grandma he said "come Grandma dance", took her hand and walked over to the carpet to dance with his Grandma.  Grandma's heart melts every time :)

There are so many more things he says and does that I want to remember and will write them here as I recall them just so I don't ever forget them.  I love this age.  He's a ball of cuteness.  Every time he holds my hand I never want to let go because I know there will be a day when he won't want to hold mommy's hand anymore.
