Have you ever experienced a time in your life where it seems everything is going so fast but at the same time the memories of that time seem to fade? Like it seems that I just had this little squishy baby but at the same time I don’t even remember him being that small, fitting in those newborn clothes I just sold, drinking from a bottle, little baby coos... my baby turned 18 months old this week! How is that possible?
I just love watching him toddle around and “run” with those tiny legs. I remember when Bob commented that Dylan toddled like that and he wanted her to always do that because it was adorable. I also remember the day I realized she didn’t do that anymore... she was big, right before my eyes! She now cartwheels through the living room.
He’s so fun! Rough and tumble, all boy! He goes non stop all day long. He’s finally talking but still refuses to say momma. He has said it just a couple times but he definitely knows how to get my attention and is sure to make very clear that he wants no one to hold him that isn’t momma.
He is still in 12 month clothes and size 4 diapers. He's 23 pounds. I thought he was so big but only in the 30% still.
He loves to run, steal his sister's toys, and he gives the best open mouth sloppy kisses. He snacks all day long and isn't really a fan of sleep unless he is pressed up against mom or dad. He likes to climb but luckily hasn't figured out how to climb out of the bed. He is very much a daredevil and his favorite place to be is standing on the coffee table watching tv. He has recently discovered my phone and loves it but also likes getting out of the app I put him in and doing all the things he shouldn't. He also loves throwing it!
He is really good at throwing epic temper tantrum to try to get his way. He loves candy and cookies and wants to eat these things all day. He hates socks and really anything on his feet. He thinks it's fun to throw all of his food to the dog and then scream that he's done.
He's finally started talking just in the last few weeks and he's so funny and smart. He helps to throw things away and put his dishes in the dishwasher and towels in the basket. He loves reading books (or turning the pages) and he loves clapping and dancing along to nursery rhymes. He knows how to do that super adorable cheesy smile that makes anyone do anything for him.
Overall though, he makes us laugh, he keeps us on our toes, and we wouldn't trade him for the world!!
