Dane is really starting to seem like a two year old now, possibly more like a three year old, or 14 year old based on the day. His language is amazing; he puts together complete paragraphs, not just sentences, and has started to understand more nuanced language such as when to use "also" and "maybe". He still speaks in the third person most of the time and loves saying funny things that Grandpa Anderson teaches him, such as the song about Granny's bit of matter in the batter. He can now fully jump on his own and just learned how to "swim" on his own using arm floaties. It's such a difficult and fun age, tiring us to the bone and then melting our hearts almost simultaneously. He loves snuggling, and at night, requests that Dad hold him like "baby Dane" while we sing. His favorite foods are many and varied, and while he's not a picky eater, he is definitely figuring out how to be independent at mealtimes, which is a bit of a struggle for me as I remember how little he was in the beginning. He loves all kinds of grilled meat and vegetables, snap peas ("crunchy!") and anything salty. Including licking spilled salt off the table. One of the good things that he's started to enjoy is doing puzzles. We had a number of the Melissa and Doug puzzles at my folks' house, but just got a couple of our own. Dane started to love them right away. Watch the pride at completion:)
