John- 23 Months Old

John is 23 months old! Since February only has 28 days, we have to count the 28th as his 23 month "birthday." I can't believe my baby is almost 2! We are already starting to plan his second birthday party. It is going to be a Sesame Street theme. His favorite characters are Cookie Monster and Elmo!
JJ loves to play with Will. He follows him around and thinks anything he does is great. He also still likes to play ball and loves "cat-cats." He is starting to like to color and draw more. He will play with a Magnadoodle and pretend that he has drawn a ball or cat.
John likes to give hugs and kisses. He is very sweet most of the time and is very funny. We have a few friends that recently had babies and he LOVES them. We have a couple of birth announcements on our fridge down low enough for him to see. He likes to look at the announcements, pat them and say "baby sleep" and give the picture a kiss. We went out to lunch with some friends with a baby and he kept saying "baby, baby, baby, hold!" because he wanted to hold the baby.
JJ is getting more into reading books, especially if they have cats, balls or Sesame Street characters in them! He will sit and look at them and pretend to read the books and loves story time before bed.
On February 11th, JJ peed in the potty for the 1st time! We aren't trying to potty train him, but he went a little in his potty before bath. He is starting to get more interested in the potty and will try to take off his clothes and diaper if he is wet or dirty and we don't change him fast enough! I am planning to try to potty train him this summer.
