Great Things are Happening at 20 Months

Callum seems to be developing a better sense that there is a baby on the way. We aren't fooling ourselves into thinking this means he understands the full implications but he can identify where the baby lives. And give it hugs...and kisses...
and a devilish big brother bit of mischief when necessary.

Becoming 20 months old seems to be a major milestone. He has started accurately identifying his colors and proudly discusses colors endlessly. His favorite is green and when we bring out the crayons he just holds onto the greens and instructs us to color with everything else. He is also able to identify lots of body parts and like to point out our feet and knees. Everything he touches, feels and does is narrated endlessly with astonishing 2-WORD SENTENCES! Cal-Cal cold. Cal-Cal nap. Cal-Cal chin. Cal-Cal garbage truck, etc. This also extends to telling us what to do...Mama cold? Mama color. Mama green car (which means Mama play with the green car.). Papa play? Papa tunnel (Papa, build a tunnel out of blocks for me.). We have also gotten the heart-melting "I love you" and one of Mama's favorites "More Kiss, More Hug". He's also constantly chattering about all of his family in Minnesota and clearly misses all the Minnesota love he got over the holidays. There is alot of conversation happening at our house.
