It's incredible how intelligent he is. I love watching him learn his way around this world. He LOVES his books and picks up so many new words as I am reading to him. I love watching his face light up when something clicks or when he is praised for his new found knowledge.
These are some of the things I don't want to forget about Hyrum at this age:
He says a lot of words now including: Dadda, Mamma, Shzz (shoes), boots, Hu--m (Hyrum), A--mm (Adam), Copper (his cousin's dog), Emma, Grandma & Grandpa (doesn't usually say it in front of them though), books, cars, choo choo's, cats, eyes, ba (bath), ball, chair, boy, girl, apple, chzz (cheese), cup, bed, boo, monser (Monster's Inc.)
He is very responsive when we ask him questions. It's so fun!
When you ask him where your cheeks are he always makes a funny squishing sound and pinches them.
When Hyrum wants something he always finds the nearest person and grabs their finger to make them point or takes them to pick it up, instead of using his own hands.
As soon as Aaron walks in the door Hyrum either runs away laughing and excited, says Uh- oh and points to something, runs up and pulls him to his toys, or points to his shoes and says (shzz).
He has these flash cards we got him for Christmas, he LOVES them and can do almost all of the things on the cards.
His favorite movies are Monster's Inc. and Cars.
He makes lots of noises including animal noises, truck noises, trains, etc.
Lately at night when we ask if he wants to go to bed he runs to his bed squealing and expects Aaron to wrestle him and play.
He still does not sleep through the night... He wakes up at least 2-3 times a night for milk refills. He wakes up and when I come to him he shoves his cup in my hand and points to the door expecting me to fill it. He falls asleep right after he gets it back, and sometimes while I am still filling it up.
He still doesn't say please or thank you, but instead points to everything and yells "Nah". We are working on that LOL.
He hates being dirty when he is eating so he either has to hold a wash cloth or asks us to wipe him off several times while he is eating.
Some of the things I will never forget: His crazy and miraculous birth. Him grinding his teeth on a pumice stone! Yuck! The way he cries so hard sometimes when he is mad and nearly passes out, or does pass out-- All we can do is try and comfort him and support him when this happens so he doesn't get hurt. He constantly turns our computer off when he doesn't want us to be on it, even if it is for a second (drives us crazy). The day before his second birthday (today) he flushed 3 chunky wood puzzle pieces down the toilet. They swelled with water inside. It took a couple of hours to get them loose. We got two of them out and reseated the toilet. We then realized it was still clogged and there was still one missing piece, so it took even longer. We finally got the last piece out, but it was a LONG night, especially for Aaron.
