Donovan is 23 Months Old!!!
Ok, more than a week ago. But I’m almost caught up now =)
5/9
Donovan is growing into such a funny, sweet boy! Here are some of his current phrases that are so adorable!
“Whee-ha” I’m not sure exactly how he came up with it, but he says it very enthusiastically when things are fun, like riding on Daddy or zooming around on his Pillow Racer. He also seems to really love cowboys these days, and often says Whee-ha instead of Yee-ha or Wahoo! So cute. He has a cowboy hat now and waves it around wildly in the air.
He’s starting to show off a dramatic tendency. In some exciting shows, he’ll say “I can’t look” while holding his hands just under his eyes. He does this for peekaboo too, putting his hands over his nose instead of actually covering his eyes.Â
“I too happy to see you!!!” with wide open arms. He is so snuggly and loving with his greetings. His c’s and s’s sometimes sound more like t’s, so cowboys sounds like towboys, and so sounds like too.
Kisses and hugs for everyone mandatory when leaving. He’s perfectly calm about people needing to go places, unless they don’t follow the proper goodbye protocol. He’ll say “Hugs!” and give Daddy big hugs, and then he will declare “Sister hugs! Mama hugs!” And Daddy can’t leave until everyone hugs him. Sometimes high fives or kisses are also required, he lets us know.Â
Loves buses, bulldozer, cars, trains.
He’s really a pretty chill guy overall. I’m so lucky! I especially love the play that is developing between Serenity and Donovan. They are adorable! He’ll invite her to play legos and she will, and then she’ll come up with an airplane game and she’ll encourage him to race all over the house with her. They sometimes go upstairs and I lurk downstairs listening on the monitor. It’s so cute! Not perfectly tranquil of course, occasionally there are boundaries crossed, but I don’t have to rush in to rescue them anymore, they usually work it out. LOVE IT!!!
He says “I know!” or “idea!” and holds up one little finger. Like today I told him he couldn’t have cookies, and he said, “I know! Pretzels!”Â
He has the cutest biggest belly laugh these days, and finds so many things funny. He keeps us all giggling. Oh, and he has the cutest bow ever. I even got a picture of it! =)
