27 Months Old

This month we have realized our little boy is turning into a parrot. He will repeat anything and everything that you say, whether you ask him to or not. I'm pleased that most of the time, it comes out quite understandable......although, there are moments of frustration. The poor guy can be so serious and repeat the same jumbled phrase over and over, before giving up and actually physically showing me. 

We've always tried to do a good job of not creating separation anxiety by sneaking out or leaving him somewhere without him knowing. He seems to really understand the idea of "leaving" since Drew told him he would be going on a trip Monday and Griffin has yet to ask where his daddy is. He happily chats with him on the phone each evening and then waves "bye" to the phone when he's done. I don't usually drop him off at daycare in the mornings, so this week I've enjoyed him asking me for a kiss and a hug before he says "bye momma" and runs off to play with his friends.  

Other things to note:

--favorite word: no.....hands down winner

--number of teeth: 16 

--potty training status: hit and miss - he does really well at daycare, but not as willing at home
--likes to pick his clothes out, and developing an attachment to his coat - he carries it like a blanket....is that normal?

--loves animals, especially his cat Rocky -- the nicest, most loving cat in the world, see video:

Here's our monthly photos:

He's also learning more colors, letters, how to count and all kinds of things that make me realize he's growing up. Daycare has also taught him his name:
