Speech:
You are talking up a storm these days.
Sometimes you get so animated about what you are talking about all I can do is laugh and kiss all over you.
We are hitting the phase were you so badly want us to understand what you are saying and when we do not you get so mad and frustrated.
Hopefully we can figure it out soon.
New words or phrases:
Please(Sees), Its Stuck, Go, You Stop(U Gop), More of This(Mo O Dis), Juice (Ju)
Food:
Still an amazing eater.
The past couple of weeks we have really concentrated on using utensils,
however you still favor your little fingers.
I struggle right now with giving you independence because I do not want the mess,
but as you can see in the above picture from Noni's house you love it.
So we let you have ice cream, juice boxes, and apple sauce by your self,
and Mommy is right there with the hose or mop to clean up.
Daddy has nick named you Mr. Mooch because you love to eat what ever anyone else is eating and will go up to the person and say "Dis, sees"
Updates:
We no longer have bottles, except for the empty ones.
Empty bottles are a form of pacifiers for you and you use them at night time
and any time you need a little extra comforting.
No more sleep sack
No more bumpers on your crib
Sippy Cups have been updated to Plastic tops
The Cart/High Chair Cover has found its way to the storage bin
Doors are now dead bolted as you have discovered to open doors.
Sleep:
You have been on the same sleep schedule for a while now.
Go to bed around 7:30pm and Wake up around 5:45am.
Nap is at 12:00 and is usually an hour to an hour and a half
Shows/Movies:
Toy Story 3 is the winning movie. If you do not like what is on, you will take the remote and pointed it at the TV.
Sesame Street is another winner; along with Veggie Tales Live Concert
My Favorite things You Do:
- Dancing - You have become quite the little dancer. You will stomp you feet as fast as you can, crouch down real low and then jump and then you spin. Oh the spin. There is the right arm that goes up to shoulder height, crosses your body and you spin looking at your hand.
- Cars - Cars and trains are everywhere. These days you push the bottom cushion up to be flat against the back of the recliner. Gather all of your cars and trains that are downstairs and put them on the frame and then you climb up on the chair and sit on the frame with a huge smile on your face.
- When you are hungry, you go to the pantry to find some food to eat. Recently, you grab the French Onion strips...you know the kind that go on top of green bean casserole. Of course, I do not provide you those wonderful deliciousness but you still grab them and hand them to me.
- Sitting at your picnic table is one of your favorites. But you do not sit at it normally, oh no, you back up to the table, sit on the bench with your back towards the table and swinging your chubby legs as you eat.
- The arrival of someone you know is so funny. You start stomping and then you will do a little circle and then go sit at the person's feet and bounce up and down. Then look at the person with a huge smile. It gets me every time.
Piling everything up...no toy is left behind
Toys:
You fell in love with your Uncle Hunter's train set at Noni's house,
so Noni bought you a starter kit.
It is by far your most favorite toy that is downstairs.
Other favorite toys are:
Cars, blocks, books, puzzles, jump jump, pull toys and trampoline
Out and About:
You are the best companion to have on our shopping trips.
You laugh and point to all the little kids.
When we go out to eat you are easily entertained by cars, books and food
You love to be on the go!
Daddy:
You are in love with your Daddy
Which is a good thing because you are so alike sometimes.
Especially in the food department:)
To big for your britches:
You are constantly trying to be just like Daddy or the older kids.
See above you are climbing the ladder to the top where Daddy was.
I am finding myself always looking to see what you are doing next and how to prevent some craziness.
Little Man, I cannot believe you are 18 months. I wish time would just slow down and we could keep you little forever. However, I know God has a plan for you and I pray that you grow to know him and love him.
