Kempton: 23 Months

I really wish time would slow just a bit! Suddenly it is December 20th and he is even closer to two! The reason for the delay is not only because I have been super busy, but there were too many pictures on the computer and I couldn't save anymore on here! I couldn't post this with out one of my new favorite pictures...

Here's Kemp's 23 Month update....

I'll start with pictures first this time...

 Kemp is pretty adventurous, especially if he sees big brother do something first.

 He loves his cousin "Tysie" and will yell "Tysie" when he sees a picture of him or the real him!

 He's also a big fan of Cousin Hannah!

 He still loves wearing his hat and generally does not take it off when he gets inside.

 Kemp loves bubble baths!

 He loves his Mom (almost as much as his Dad!) He always yells mommy's name in the mornings and prefers that Mom change his diapers, really?!...pretty sure Dan has secretly been giving him some advice with those things!

 We went shopping for a present for Cohen's friend and the boys were playing with this Frozen microphone. Kempton was walking around singing, "Let it go....let it goooo." I want to get it for him for Christmas or his birthday but I cannot find it anywhere!! We originally saw it at Target so if you see it, please buy it for him.... :)

 This past month Kempton got a haircut all by himself and did not have to sit on Mom's lap. He did an awesome job!

 He loves "Olap" aka "Olaf" from Frozen and loves the hat....

...and slippers that Aunt Heidi bought him!

 He has had a tough time going to bed lately. It just takes him forever to finally fall asleep. Sometimes he takes his shirt off, as seen above, other times it's his pants or he's just rolling around playing and talking.

 As you can see he loves raspberries! He also likes bananas, oranges, green beans, pancakes, waffles, chicken, raisins and any kind of chocolate. He likes to drink milk or water.

 He likes to help clean! If only he didn't make a bigger mess while doing it.. ;)

 His favorite ninja turtle is Mikey! He can correctly identify all of the ninja turtles, April and Shredder. Definitely learned that from Cohen!

 He can be so stubborn and demanding! In this picture, he didn't want to put on his pajama shirt and only wanted to wear this sweatshirt after his bath. I struggle with giving in to him and things that aren't worth a fight. I don't want him to always get his way, but at the same time if it isn't a big deal, why not? I try to give him choices, which seems to help!

 See his Santa pajama shirt under his T-shirt?...He loves Santa and forcing him to take off that shirt was not worth ruining this kids morning. 

In fact, he loves all things Christmas! Especially Christmas lights, Christmas trees, and their Elf, Cheeks!

Cheeks brought Kemp his very own (creepy) Cheeks shirt! Haha. I am pretty sure it's a girls shirt, but seriously, his reaction when he saw it was priceless.

He loves hiding in the closet... at least he always hides in the same spot!

 Below are a few pictures of Kemp and his friend, Ritchie. Him and Ritchie are in the same class, and Ritchie's sister CJ and Cohen are in the same class. We were at CJ's birthday party in the pictures below.

Kempton loves to take pictures and often accidentally takes pictures of himself!

 Here are some videos....

Working on his wizardry with Cohen's Harry Potter wand...

"Cheeks, where are you, Cheeks?" He loves looking for him every morning!

 So he is still pretty good at basketball...

...however, his golf skills need some work! HAHAHA

Don't worry I gave him some pointers...I think he's a bit shocked when he actually hit it!

He wears 18-24 Month pants and 24 month/2t shirts

Any time he is allowed to pick out a movie he picks out "Up" because he is still obsessed with balloons! 

He says so much now. He still a bit hard to understand, but we almost always eventually figure it out. The other day we were doing a train puzzle and he was saying "all aboard!" It took me awhile to figure it out because I never heard him say it before and I didn't even know that he knew that.

He loves yelling "Happy Birthday" and has been saying "Happy Birthday, Coco" for the last few weeks. He's also pretty good at singing the "happy birthday" song

Kempton likes doing things by himself, like putting his clothes and shoes on.

He is doing awesome at potty training! We don't  push it yet, but he will often tell us he has to go and will usually go whenever Cohen goes. We are making progress!

He  loves puppies, balls, trains, Frozen, Ninja Turtles, Elmo, Mickey and Rubble from Paw Patrol!

When we get in the car he says, "Black thing, please" meaning he wants to watch something on the Kindle

Kempton is one cool little guy and we absolutely love him to pieces!

Love, 

Katie
