Uh, 20 months. Really?!

 Des is officially 20 months today. Helllo???! Where is the time going? This was him last year at this time:

Des with Santa

opening presents on Christmas Day

Its crazy that this chuck of a kid started out so tiny...and full of tubes...but mostly tiny. 

I miss the sweet little moments you can have with a baby that you don't really get anymore when they're all too cool for mommy. But he's still mostly sweet and his tantrums are pretty mild compared to some kid's I've witnessed. I guess that just comes with practice (the quality of the tantrums, that is). I did get a little cuddle time when we came home from our date night and he was crying in his bed for mommy. I just got to hold him and rock him and baby him a little more than I usually do. So that was nice.  I just can't believe that we're entering into potty training and big-boy beds so soon.

Sometimes I hold him like a baby and tell him to say, "Goo-goo, Ga-Ga". And he does. and it makes me laugh. And then I remember how fun it is to have a talking/playing/creative almost-two year old.
