Blake potty trained

I started the potty training work with Blake when we went into lockdown in mid March. He had some success peeing on the toilet and then refuse to do it. This past weekend he was able to pee on the toilet for most of the weekend and even pooped on the toilet! Today, (April 22) he completed a full poop on the toilet.

He is doing it for a bobble heads. Now, he is into consumerism and asks to look for stuff on Amazon and for us to buy it.

Go Blake!

He quickly got the hang of peeing and pooping on the toilet. He’s even hold it mostly overnight.

Blake talks!

Blake, almost 23 months has been picking up words & phrases much more quickly!

Yesterday, Adam realized Blake calls Cadence, “sissy.”

Today, he said, “eat ice (cream).”

He started saying, “I wear boots” in Cleveland.

Other things he says:

  • Dee: things that fly (plane, helicopter, balloons)
  • Mama
  • Dada
  • Where is (says while shrugging)
  • Oucb
  • Ball
  • Car
  • Grandma

Blake at 18 months

Blake is an enthusiastic, physical kid. He jumps, climbs, and enjoys running in open spaces.

He doesn’t really have words, we don’t think. Adam thinks he has none, I’ve heard;

1) mama

2) dada

3) up

4) good (when eating)

5) love

6) cat (aaat)

7) jump

Also, not sure that he consistently uses them. At his doctor’s appointment yesterday, Dr. Brown seemed a bit worried about his lack of speech. She said we could try early intervention if he doesn’t pick up 5 words in a month. I’m not too worried since Bec, Abby, & Joshie didn’t start speaking till 2 years old.

Otherwise, Blake is healthy. He loves to eat fish, broccoli, & kale. He likes opening things with lids and putting things inside other things. He loves playing at the playground after school with the other kids.

If he wants to watch a video or tv, he’ll throw/hand a remote or phone at someone. Also smacks my chest when wants attention.

He loves to climb and eat meat. Loves his sister & Korean and Japanese YouTube videos.

Blake needs to be watched all the time bc he will definitely be getting into something he shouldn’t or get hurt.
