David - 23 months old!

On August 20, David turned 23 months old.  He is talking up a storm now and is actually getting to be more and more understandable ;)  He says sentences with weird verb tenses (like if you ask him, "Do you want chips?" Instead of saying "I do", he says "I does"!  Or if he is holding something, he'll say "I had this" instead of "I have this" :)  Cute little things like that I never want to forget!  He loves playing with his balls and his new basketball hoop (well, new to us - we found it at Goodwill for $5!  We wanted to buy him one for his birthday, but since we found this one cheap at the thriftstore, we just bought it early and gave it to him right away.  He's been enjoying it ever since!).  Whenever we Skype with family, he says "Ball!  Hoop!" and runs off to the hoop to show them his basketball skills :) His favorite book right now is "Adam Racoon in Lost Woods", which he calls "Coom" (for raccoon).  He asks to read it all the time and even can sit by himself and "read" it to himself (fully dramatized, though hard to understand!).  This month, he got to see both sets of grandparents, and really has bonded with my dad - his PopPop (he calls him "pop").  It's amazing what a strong bond they have, despite only seeing each other a handful of times a year!  Since the new baby has come, photo shoots are a little more hard to schedule into our day...but here is David's 23 month photo :)
