22 months!

This is late, but that's the way I do it now!

22 Month Stats:

Unofficial weight: approximately 31 lbs
Clothing size: Same as last month.
Shoe size: He's officially a 7M according to our visit to the shoe store.
Diaper size: Size 5
Favorite toy: His Bloks.  He's recently rediscovered his popcorn popper things and runs around the house with them. 
Favorite foods: Same as last month.  Also bananas, strawberries (although we have taken them away because of severe diaper rash!), and pretzels.
Least favorite foods: Hot dogs are back on the list!
Words: Again, there doesn't seem to be a significant change in his list of words each month.  A lot of his words kind of sound the same.  Auburn = Abuh; War Eagle = Gull; Ball = Aball; Book = Buh; Peek-a-boo = Aboo; Dog = Dog or Gog; TV = De; Bubble = Bubble; Bath = Bath; Banana = Nana; Cow = Mmm; Go; Bye; plus some others
Teeth: All his teeth have started finally coming in.  I think we are now just missing the last set of molars.
Daily Routine: He sleeps a ton now!  He routinely sleeps 12 hours (maybe an hour more if we'd let him!) at night, plus a 2 1/2 hour nap at school.  Milk is still a big part of his day!  I can't imagine breaking him of his morning and evening milk!

Recent happenings:

(Part of my post is going to be ever changing as I remember stuff that has happened over the past month!)

Chase has been getting over a virus this past week that started almost immediately after we came back from the Zoo last Saturday.  Toddler vomit is so much worse than baby vomit!

Chase was a real good waver for a while when saying goodbye to folks.  Now, he's big on blowing kisses instead!  When we visited the shoe store last week, he blew kisses to the store worker as we left.

He loves his Pixar movies and Dreamworks movies!  He's been a little burned out on Shrek since our beach trip, but now he loves the Toy Story movies (and can say Buzz!), Finding Nemo (and can say Nemo and try to say Anemone!), and Wall-e.  He especially loves the Pixar opening scene with the bouncing desklamp!

He's starting to love blankets at nap and bedtime.  This started shortly after the beach trip as well.  He would love a pillow too, but I think I've heard maybe they shouldn't have a pillow until they can ask for a pillow.  We currently keep about 3 to 4 fluffy blankets in his crib and he just gravitates to them when he lays his head down!

His least favorite part of the day is diaper changing time.  I've noticed when he has a dirty diaper, he'll move away from me and act really playful with his toys.  I think he's trying to delay the inevitable as long as possible!

When he wants to watch TV, he'll smile and put one finger on each cheek and say "De!".  We have no clue where he learned that from!!

Here are some pictures from our visits last week to the Children's Museum and the Zoo.
