Well, everyone kept promising that the 18 month mark would be amazing. I’m officially a believer! It’s crazy, the week he turned 18 months (last week) it seems like a light bulb went off, and each day it shines a little brighter. His words, interests, and movement develop each day. Even though I was warned, I am shocked with how much I’m in love and in aw of this age!!
Favorite sayings:
“Ight up down” – when we leave a room, he’s a constant reminder for mommy to turn off the lights. Tree hugger.
AHHHHH DUKES (puts up his fists/”dukes”
AHHHHH BEES!
AHHHHH Muscles
AHHHHH Strong (not sure if the “ahhh” is him trying to say “I” or if it’s him just yelling with excitement??)
Help please.
I clean up
Bye bye mommy
Bye bye Chap
Amen, YAY! (cheers after nighttime prayers and blessing the food...his teacher loves this).
Boom, Boom, Boom
I good boy.
Tickle you mommy.
Tick Tock Pease (read the book Hickory Dickory Dock, please)
Sings/dances to ‘Wheels on the Bus”
Sings ‘Old MacDonald on the Farm’. Every time that MacDonald has a “chick chick” on his farm that goes “bock bock”. Kind of the most boring farm ever.
(talking on the phone) Hi dada, ok, bye.
Milestones:
Pee pee in the potty!!
First school performance at School Days (way more on this later!)
Blows his bubbles by himself
Dunks his head under water
Climbs up and down the stairs using rail
Can go down the big slides at park with no assistance (I consider this a mommy milestone too, for the record).
Foods
Will try just about anything.
Loves grapes and oranges a lot.
Has to have blueberry pancakes every morning. Don’t even THINK about trying plain.
LOVES chicken (sings Old MacDonald to them as he eats them…kind of weird).
Turkey hot dogs
Chips (thanks Cookie & Gigi for promoting this!)
Current interests:
Chasing the wood dwelling bees on the front porch. I know it’s dangerous, but they don’t sting…and he laughs a lot at mom playing tennis with them.
Riding his bikes.
Driving his cars.
Choo choo trains.
School buses
Blowing bubbles

He amazes me every day. This age is wonderful, and I can’t WAIT to soak up every second of it this summer…10 days till summer break, 2011. It’s gonna be a good one!!
