21 Month Old Link Summary

Link's 21st month has been another month full of language advancement! He has gotten really great about repeating words we say, he initiates conversations and asks for things by name now, he sings and plays pretend (sometimes he mixes in babble with real words because he has A LOT to say), and he has several books memorized (Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site and Little Blue Truck are his favorites).



Link loves to hop. Sometimes he just hops around when he's excited. He gets quite a bit of air with those little legs! Link is also very good at running. He is super fast and looks like he is flying because he really picks up his knees. This is great especially when we are out on the trails because he is able to clear roots and not trip all the time as he trots along.


Meo and Link have been playing very well together now. Link loves to imitate what Meo is doing and they are able to entertain themselves for extended periods of time. Meo has been a great teacher and often takes the time to point out interesting things to Link, teaches him new words, reads books to him, and is getting better about being patient with him when they are playing together. They still have epic battles when they want to play with the same toy though!




His toy Dynamite...who he carried around everywhere and slept with for months...seems to have fallen out of favor. Now he doesn't have a particular toy that he carries around. But his favorite things to play are stacking blocks, dump truck, sand box, "fish to the face" (aka wacking dad in the face with a giant fish), and singing/reciting opening circle everyday.
