Mommy loves 18 months! You are so much fun and mommy is really enjoying taking you different places and working on little projects with you! Not to mention, you make mommy laugh every day! Just the other day you were walking around with daddy's size 11 shoes on, his tie on and mommy's head band on! Silly guy!
You are smart too...like really smart. You can point to all of your body parts and you know what all of the animals say. You are even starting to count to 3 and jibber jabber the ABC's. You also have learned what to do to get certain things out of mommy and daddy... like just this week you started saying "Pweese" when you want something...and mommy is having a tough time saying no to that cute little "pweese". You also have learned a neat little paci trick. Mommy and Daddy only allow you to have your paci when you are going night night. So when you wake up, we make you throw your paci in your crib...but you have learned that if you throw paci on your blankie... you can then shimmey the blankie threw the crib rails and get to your paci. Quite the little trickster! (But the doctor said that it's time for that paci to go..uh oh!)
You continue to be quite the little piggie. You love fruit and continue to love love love blueberries. We have, however, noticed that you're not eating quite as much as you used to eat... eventhough your babysiter says she never met a tiny little boy that eats as much as you do! At eighteen months you are still wearing 12-18 month clothes and tip the scales at almost 23lbs (10-25%) and are 32inches long (25-50%).
At eighteen months you love to play outside, especially when the other kids are out. You stand in the living room and wave "bye bye" to daddy and the kids getting on the school bus every morning. You call me baba... even though you can say "mama". You are into everything and constantly touching everything... you will, however, sit still to read books. You also love to talk on the phone. Mostly we call Grammy and Maw... or daddy when he's at work. You jibber jabber away... I wish I knew what you are telling them! You can probably say 50+ recognizable words with your latest being "umbrella". You are also starting to repeat things that you hear mommy and daddy say... time for us to watch out! You are just starting to cut back to one nap a day. At eighteen months you still enjoy snuggling and giving kisses. You also love to dance, especially to the Mickey Mouse "hot dog" song!
For your 18th month birthday, mommy and daddy got you a cute little table with chairs...
and then I remembered why we got rid of our coffee table... you like to climb on everything!!
Here you are on your first birthday...
and here you are at 18 months!
I can't believe how much you've changed in 6 little months!
oh yea... did I mention you are a DRAMA KING!?! You sure know how to turn it on... but sorry Gabe... paci's are for night night time only (until next week that is...then it's farewell forever to the beloved paci)!
Daddy and I are so lucky to have such a sweet, smart, loving little boy. I love you more and more each and every day, which I didn't know was possible!
Hugs and Kisses!
Love,
Mama
