Growing Up

Anthony is definitely growing up! Over the last few months he has really taken off and it has been a lot of fun to watch.
He mastered the art of walking a few months back and as a result he is now getting into a lot more mischief such as turning on the bathtub faucet, getting into the trash and pulling all of his diapers out of their basket.
Over the last few weeks he has learned to use his "big boy" potty once a day, which oddly enough he gets very excited about. Mom's just glad because to her it means the end of the diaper era is in sight, at least for a little while.
Brushing his teeth is one of his greatest joys and if he sees mommy or daddy brushing their teeth he must join in on the fun.
"Please" is the new word in his vocabulary and I am very glad that he has learned it because the "uh-uh's" were getting a tad bit old. He will still whine until you ask him "how do you ask?" which in turn he will reply "ease-ease" or "pth" which is my favorite.
Last of all he is learning how to use the cup and I must admit he does pretty well with it! Granted he will still spill from time to time but overall he will gulp everything down and finish with a great big "ahhh".
It's strange to think that only a few months ago Josh and I had a baby boy given to us and now he is an active toddler roaming all about, discovering new things, and learning new skills every day. Time certainly has a way of flying by.
