Twenty Four Months Old (August’s Last Monthly Photo)

Twenty Four Months Old (August's Last Monthly Photo)
A Year of Monthly Baby Photos
Two Years of Monthly Baby Photos

I took a photo of August sitting in the Eames rocker and wearing his pin each month until he turned two years old. I also took monthly photos of his older sister, Eleanor, until she was two.

And just like that, nearly four years of monthly photos of my babies are done. Like Eleanor, August will now have a yearly photo. I’ll also create a book for him, as I did for his older sister.

Two years old! Happy birthday, my little man. I love you, I love you, I love you.

Knock Knock

Eleanor and August have both started telling knock knock jokes, and they both always end with the same punchline. It started with E a couple of days ago, when Brandon tried to teach her the concept.

Eleanor

E: Knock knock!
Us: Who’s there?
E: Poo-poo tea pasta booty! (This is a favorite phrase of hers.)
Us: Poo-poo tea pasta booty, who?
E: MOM! *fake laughter*

Now, August is a man of action, not words. He’s going through a language explosion right now, picking up a new word every other day or so, but I was surprised at breakfast the other day when I realized he was trying to tell a knock knock joke.

August

A: Knock knock!
Us: Who’s there?
A: Mmf pheatuw cat glarbo. (?)
Us: *unsure* Mmf pheatuw cat glarbo, who?
A: *real laughter* MOM!

p.s. That’s his ‘Whatchu talkin’ about, Willis?’ face.
p.p.s. Hi Ho Cherry-O pieces are his favorite right now.
p.p.p.s. Pointed toes!

Twenty Two Months Old (August’s Monthly Photo)

August is 22 months old. Soon he’ll be two, and I’ll have to stop thinking of him as a baby. (But I will still call him my baby as I pick him up when he awakes, with sleepy eyes and arms outstretched, softly saying “mom”.)

I had another post slated for this morning, but it can wait. I take these pictures for me and for my family because they make me happy. I share them because hopefully they bring a little happiness to you, too.
