Baby CP continues to grow and develop very well. In daycare he participates in all art projects and music classes and has a blast outdoors at the playground. His teacher tells me that unless he isn't feeling well, he's always good and takes are of the other little kids. She also says that out of all the kids, he enjoys learning the most and has a very long attention span.
Baby CP has been using his imagination skills quite a bit recently. I overhear him creating dialogues between his cars and trains. Sometimes when I'm telling him stories, he makes up new parts of the stories on his own. He also enjoys singing and sometimes makes up his own words and songs. He also pretends to be mad or sad sometimes with faces, sighs and everything. It's hilarious. We like when he gives certain vehicles a "time out" for being bad.
Baby CP got sick a lot over these past 2 months - about once every 2 weeks for almost 3 months. The doctor said this was good for him. After he got better from his last cold, he suddenly started eating very well and often on his own. It has truly made life easier and mealtimes much less stressful. He's gained a significant amount of weigh recently and man, have his feet grown!
We attended a wedding and Baby CP was a big hit with the ladies. He's so funny...usually he prefers to hang out with us, but sometimes when there are young ladies around, he just disappears. He went and found this group of young women on his own and just ditched us!

Around his second birthday, Baby CP started to refuse to change his clothes and diapers, so we either let him run around for most of the evening without pants on. This has somewhat facilitated potty training. Over the past couple months, if he doesn't have pants on, he generally will go to sit on his potty on his own to pee and will also go poop on his own. He likes his privacy while pooping though, and NOBODY can be in the room as he does his business. He will give you the policeman stop hand and tell you NO or GO AWAY. You gotta' respect that.
