Favorite 20 Month Old Activities:

*Reading books -- Logan can sit for 30 minutes or more when we read him stories before naptime and bedtime. His favorites at the moment are pop-up books such as "This Old Man" and "Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?"

*Watering Plants; Water related activities like going to the swimming pool and taking a bath. Logan is doing really well in the water. He puts his entire head under and blows bubbles like a pro! He'll even make swimming motions with his arms and kicks pretty well with his legs.

*Arts & Crafts -- Logan started doing "nail drawings" -- which consist of taking a nail and poking holes along a black line. This helps with small motor control and Logan has gotten pretty good at punching holes. Of course, the best part is proudly displaying his work to Daddy and then taping it to the kitchen cabinets!

Logan also enjoys using stickers and gluing things on paper. Again, we can see a lot of progress with his ability to manipulate small objects (holding the glue and actually getting stickers to go where he wants them).

*Trucks and cars -- This month Logan has had a lot of fun taking his trucks outside and rolling them down our (hilly) driveway!

*Playing in his play tent and play boat

*Stacking and sorting colored disks

*Hiking (and walking with Mom in the morning)

*Playing at the park -- Logan has gained a lot of skill. Today, for example, he climbed up a ladder and across a bridge all on his own.

*Kindermusik & Kindergym

*Watching his "Brainy Baby Animals" movie

*Counting Money -- Logan has several film canisters with different kinds of coins. He really enjoys dumping out the "MONEY" and putting them in one-by-one while Mom or Dad counts. He'll repeat numbers now and then (especially the number 8).
