We welcome spring this year with an 18 month old! It seems so long ago (yet not) that this little man entered our lives.
- waves by wiggling fingers
- drags his little chairs everywhere to use as stools
- climbing monkey (will climb on anything, anywhere)
- knows when he is being an imp and wants to be chased
- has a super tickley stomach
- likes to dance to music
- will hold up one finger when you ask him how old he is
- knows where his eyes, ears, nose, fingers, toes, belly, hair etc are
- nods emphatically and gives a really big grin and a "peeees" when he really wants something (then does a happy dance in one spot when he knows he is about to get what he wants...this is one of my fav things right now)
- points and gestures when he wants something (and knows what he wants)
- loves his soother & blanket (although only supposed to use at nap time...often squeaks them out of us when he is tired and playing)
- asks for a bath
- waves bye-bye without being prompted at bedtime or when leaving the house (probably after months of saying "say goodbye to Oscar")
- waves to trucks that drive by on the street
- loves talking to his grandparents on skype (especially seeing Grandpa)
- getting a little less fussy about eating again
- has had a few time outs when conducting mischief...and will stick out bottom lip and rub eyes and cry when he does...when asked to say sorry will reach to be picked up and want to give a hug (that's his way of "sorry")
- throws tantrums when tired, hungry, or just because
- has become a bit of a "momma suck" and will cry when being left by momma
- talks in jibberish sentences
- says a few words very clearly - for example: dad, truck, woof, hat, momma, please
- says many words that are sometimes understandable - like walk, snack, water, Oscar, shoe, Ben...
- loves to read books
- loves to stack things (like tupperware containers & pots & pans)
- loves to "help" unload the dishwasher & bake/cook
- when put to bed and doesn't want to sleep, shakes or kicks the crib sides until someone comes to rescue him
- claps for himself and says "yay" when he thinks he has done something good
- wants to strip down as soon as he gets playing hard (and is trying to take his diaper off as well)
- is impossible to get a picture of...he is never still for even the fraction of a second it takes!
