Mack - 22 Months

Another month is behind us as Mack approaches his 2nd Birthday! At 22 months old it amazes me how much Mack absorbs and learns daily. He talks non stop repeating words and phrases. If he doesn't know what something is he points to it and asks "this"? He knows the colors, orange (his favorite), red, green, purple, yellow, black and white. Does pretty well with his shapes. Knows all his body parts. Knows and recognizes the animals: bear, lion, horse, cat, dog, moose, alligator, bird, pig, giraffe, fish, cow, duck, monkey, tiger, etc (there's probably a few I'm missing). He loves cars, tractors, music and reading! He's got quite the little personality and is very animated when he's telling you a story; his particular favorite is "David and Goliath". He loves to help switch the laundry and fold it while telling me what each article of clothing is and who it belongs to. Mack's new thing to help with is unloading the dishwasher. He's quite meticulous when it comes to cleaning but it also shows in his playing when he lines up his cars just perfectly or stacks books or blocks. They have to be exactly on top of each other.

Mack adores his little brother, Parker and can't wait till he can play with him. We can't wait either! He loves to hug and kiss him. It's really cute when Parker is crying, Mack says, "It's okay Parker, don't cry."

Mack is at the age where he's testing everything and we're trying to find the balance between being patient with a toddler and when to discipline. Pray for us.

Just a few pics of our big boy!
