20 months

• Some new words; "water", "Juice", "Zoo", "Cheeeeeeeze", "Pease" (please). "Papa", "Tutututututu" (Grandma in Hawaiian), "Nama" (Grandma in Californian), "Willllla", (the neighbor's dog), "Car", "lawdlawdlawdla" (banana), "Baby" as he points to children smaller than him, which are rare to find.
• His obsession with Buzz Lightyear has gone extreme. To get from one place to another, he first needs to poke his chest (the button to expand his wings), spread his arms out, shout "Buzz!" and run as fast as his little legs can handle. In his nursery class at church, he shouts out "Buzz!" in the middle of the lesson when they are asking the kids who created the animals. Buzz solves everything; when he's having a melt down, all we need to say is "Buzz?", and he immediately cheers for joy.
• He almost goes to bed willingly at night. We just have to keep the door open, lights on in the other rooms, and continue with our evening so he knows that we are still there. Some nights are better than others, but we are making progress.
• We haven't been to the doctors in a month or so but I'm assuming that he's still not on the charts. I'm not worried. He's easy to carry! He will get his growth spurt soon.
• He is always so thrilled when "dada" comes home from work. He immediately stops what he's doing and runs and tackles him to the floor.
• Tristan is still into kissing his mom and dad...on the lips...sometimes using tongue. I'm not sure where he learned that from but oh my!!! Should I be concerned?
• He makes friends wherever he goes and gets along really well with them. He's a lover, not a hater. (see bullet above)
• He has taken an interest in sitting on the toilet, with the seat up, and his clothes off. Signs of potty training? oh boy.
• Some of his favorite games; Simon Says, Red Light Green Light, and Hide and Seek.
