In his twenty-third month, Roman is: coming up with all sorts of things to say like “Ro Ro turn”, “Petra eat it”, “Sku me burp”, “heard airplane too…listen…coming”, “Petra good girl”, “logurt” for yogurt, “did it”, “find it”, “reach it…need chair”, “mommy I need you”, “wait mommy…red light”, “Doing?”, “Going?”, “naked boy”, “Jonas”, “Xander”, “Why?”, “mean”, “AhAh best friend”, “fist bump Petra”, and more; still winning the messiest and whiny-est boy at mealtimes award; sleeping a little longer in the morning FINALLY (thanks to daddy for his ninja process of elimination in figuring that one out); and continuing to bless our hearts with his happy, into everything, passionate, talkative, snuggly self.
