31 Months

Leif just keeps getting bigger and bigger. He is a sweet little fellow who continues to love his naps and his comfort sources (blankets and binki). He also still loves to eat most of the time, but I still have to urge him along sometimes.
He loves to sing- with me or to himself. One of his favorites right now is "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree" which he must have picked up from nursery at church, because I never sang it until he started attempting to sing it and do the hand motions and I figured out what he was doing. Now I sing it to him all the time- he usually loves it, but sometimes he tells me "no".

Leif adores his baby sister and knows her full name, but he usually just calls her "the baby" even though when we ask what her name is he says "Heidi Rose".

Here is a photo Austin got of Leif getting up on the counter in the bathroom to get his teeth brushed. Why use the stool that is always sitting there when you can just scale the drawer handles?

In the last couple months, I have been giving the boys "thumbs up" when they do a good job. It took Asher awhile to figure out how to get just his thumb up, but Leif doesn't even try. He insists that his pointer fingers are his thumbs and sticks those up, usually saying "two of them" . . . so at least he can count (sort of). 
Something Leif loves right now that I'm not so proud of is potty talk. I won't go into the details of the words he uses, but he says them all the time and thinks he is so funny. I guess that wouldn't bother me so much, but he often calls other people by these names, especially his brother and on occasion, me or Austin.

Overall, though, Leif is quite the pleasant little fellow who loves to laugh and be silly. He was in a bit of a grumpy mood this morning (he loves to tell me when he is grumpy!), but he let me take his picture while he was playing with a toy.
