Proof that the terrible twos are on the way...

My baby will soon be 21 months old, and there is already evidence that this once laid back, smiley, perfect little angel will not be coasting through his terrible twos without a lasting impression and having a little fun.

• It began when screaming NO at the top of his lungs became funny.
• Then we moved on to the very popular 'Fake Crying' to get what you want.
• Accompanied by screaming "MINE! MINE!" whenever someone has something that he wants. Whether it is actually his or not is totally irrelevant.
• Of course we can't forget picky eating habits! The child used to totally devour anything I put on his plate before I had a chance to cut Allie's up. Now, he picks through the food and throws whatever he doesn't feel like eating on the floor....to the delight of the cats!
• When he doesn't want to go to sleep, he now knows how to talk enough to pull on your heart strings and whimper in his crib "I want my maamaaa......" *sniff *sniff*
• To put the icing on the cake, the new favorite thing to say is "I NOT!" which of course means - I NOT listening to YOU mommy!!"

Of course not everything about twos is bad. In fact it's an adorable age. This is where they also learn that being cute is a totally asset to them and they should use it to their advantage whenever possible. For example:

• Luke will randomly walk over to you with a huge smile on his face and outstretched arms and say: HUG! and give you a big hug....for no reason.
• If he hasn't seen you in.....oh lets say a minute or two....he'll catch a glimpse of you and come running up to you like he hasn't seen you in months and go MAAAMAAAA!!!!! *SMILE* *HUG*
• When you tell him that he can't do something he gives you what I affectionately call "The Big Black Eyes" and puts his cheek on his shoulder and gives you the sideways look as if to say: But....LOOK I'm cute!!! Does that change your mind?
• He already knows how to get his sister in trouble! He is perfectly aware that if he is in the other room playing with her and he gives out a fake cry....that she will instinctively back away from him till he stops crying so that I wont go in there. And when it works...he gets a little evil smile on his face.
• If it doesn't work, however, he's not against pushing her over. And since he's only 2 lbs lighter than her and about 5 inches shorter....that is NOT a problem.
  
  Allie is going the be in trouble very soon. But me? I'm in trouble RIGHT NOW! lol

And if you think that he's growing up too fast...then check this out. Here is proof that he's already in training for being a MAN. This is how he watches TV. Lounging out shirt up and rubbing his belly. LMAO

All he needs is a beer!
