Dear Michael,
You are 22 months old today! You have had a bad cold this
past week but you are still your happy little self. This week is Thanksgiving
and Simon, Ellie, and Nanie are all coming to the house. We are going to the
club for Thanksgiving lunch. Grandma-ma is coming over to visit on Tuesday. Two
weeks ago we met Grandma-ma for lunch at Chili’s. You were a little restless
the last ten minutes or so and were playing with a car on the seat of the booth
while standing under the table. Grandma-ma and I thought we had you blocked in
by our legs but after a few minutes we looked down and you were gone! Of course
we both jumped up and started looking for you. I gave James my phone to play
with and Grandma-ma told him to stay there while we looked for you. I told the
hostess what you were wearing and she immediately told all the waiters to start
looking for you. After the longest two minutes of my life, Grandma-ma found you
hiding under the table next to us! You popped your head out from under the
table, smiled at me with those big dimples, and said, “More chicken?” You loved
the chicken you were eating for lunch that day. Michael, you definitely keep
mommy on her toes! I have never been so relieved! (except maybe the one time
your brother decided to play hide and seek at Target when he was about your
age!)
The picture above is from a mini photo session we had with
Miss Sabrina at the Dallas Arboretum. You were a busy boy but as always she
managed to capture your sweet spirit and smile that melts my heart!
So Michael Scott, what else are you up to at 22 months
old???
You are 34 ½ inches tall and weigh 27 pounds
You wear a size 4 diaper and size 7 shoe
You wear a size 2T shirt and size 18 months or 2T pants. The
18 months fit better in the waist but are getting a little short!
You LOVE Chloe and Coco very much! You always want Chloe to
sit with you. The other day Coco was wagging her tail and you grabbed her hips
on either side and said, “Shake your booty Coco, shake your booty Coco”. It was
so funny!
You and your big brother play together all the time. Your
favorite games are chase and standing up on Mommy and Daddy’s bed and tackling
each other. You both fall into the pillows, laughing.
You have your last two teeth trying to come in right now!
Hopefully they will be in soon.
You love to watch Toy Story (1,2, or 3) and ask to watch
Buzz when you wake up.
You also love Diego. It is one of your favorite books to
read and you love the animals!
You still say, “Mama rock you” at night when you want me to
rock you. Sometimes you say, “Daddy rock you” but you are definitely a Mama’s
boy.
You love to sing “Love Me Do” with me when I rock you at
night. You say, “Peeeeeaaaaaaaasssse Love Me Do”. I need to record it!
You also say “soooooooooo much” to me because I always say “I love you
soooooo much” when I give you a big hug.
You have to bring your blanket, Ella, and Froggie with you
to the den in the morning when you wake up. We call you Linus in the mornings!
You have started to refer yourself in the third person,
“Michael do it!”
You also use too correctly. If your brother gets a snack you
might say, “I want fruit snacks too!”
You are the sweetest boy and are so thoughtful. Whenever you
get something for yourself you always get one for Bubba too.
I can’t believe you are going to be two years old in two
short months! Your birthday always sneaks up on me since it is right after the
holidays. I have a birthday party I need to start planning. I love you sooooo
much Michael! I can’t wait to see how you grow and change this next month!
Love,
Mommy
