20 Months

Dear FIN,
So for a few weeks now, I've just told people you are 20 months. They all buy it because you are as tall as a 3 yr old. But its official, you have hit a milestone that marks nothing other than you are rounding that curve to the 2 yr old mark really fast.
Your language skills are remarkable. You will pretty much say anything we tell you to say, and you started to shock us with phrases that we don't realize you even knew. We already know how smart you are, but you are a lover too. This morning when daddy, or as you call him "Kiko" left the house, you said "wuv woo", which I know you mean, "Love you". Oh achy breaky our hearts.
Over the weekend you got to have an overnight with your grandma/pa Dahlke. Gramma said she was going to buy you a tricycle, instead, we come home to you sporting some pretty classy driving skills in a mobile bug. They bought you your first car. First a pony, and now a car - I can honestly say, I don't know these people. There were no pony's unless they were part of an hour long trail ride, and there were no cars until I was 16. You are spoiled!
Last week was a sad week. We said good-bye to the house we brought you home to when you were brand new, and we said good-bye to our beloved "Leanie". Leanie was your, for all intense purposes, day care provider, but she was much more than that. She was the person that helped me figure out the best of you - and FIN, she loves you very much - highly evident from the scrap book put together, and all the pictures she took of you!
This week, we are trying to get our lives in order in our new home. Figure out all the places to go, shop, etc. 10 minutes in the car this morning and you were out like a light. I'm sure it has nothing to do with all the hard playing you did yesterday with your cousins, aunts/uncles, grandma/pa Nunez. I'm so interested to see what the next month brings. Maybe full phrases all the time, who knows!
Wuv woo,
your mama.

Independence

So I was told by Nunez Moment Fan Club that I need to be more diligent about updates. I do apologize for not updating the blog sooner, we have had a few things going on, and its kept me from getting to a computer to give updates about FIN and the family. This has been an exciting month. Just this week, we moved to the new house in Grayslake, IL in the Prairie Crossing community. More importantly, FIN got himself a new cousin! Madelyn Ava Yu! We are so so exciting about her arrival! We are going to Visit her in a week!
OK, so I know everyone wants to know what FIN has been up to... well growing, at an alarming rate! Pants that fit 2 weeks ago are now capris - just in time for the warmer weather. He has become more and more head strong about everything he does. I mentioned to Francisco the other day, "Where does he get that from", I wasn't even kidding, I truly wanted to know where he got that from, and Francisco said "gee I wonder, 'Miss knows everything what she wants', he gets it from YOU lady". I was all "Moi, head strong?!" Well, ok, so I'm a directive, rather than being directed. Anyhoo, I guess for the fan club this isn't interesting... So I digress.The boy is very independent. LOVES buttons. Especially his parents. But everything has a "buts" - thats FIN for Button. And atleast its "buts" now and not a pointing little finger at what he wants calling it "shit". Yes, FIN has dropped the s-bomb, the f-bomb, and boy let me tell you, if you laugh at it, he will come up and whack you one on the head. Thankfully, the swearing has past, and we are on to new more G-rated words, like birdie.
Here are a few pics from our last day in Milwaukee yesterday. And the one on the slide is from the new park by the house.
