That's right, my precious BABY boy is a year and a half old!!! It seems as if it was yesterday that I first saw your sweet face!
I can't believe this was 18 months ago!!! I wish I could still cuddle you in my arms like this all the time, but you're too busy exploring! lol
You are an adorable, happy, and spirited little bundle of energy and we are loving every moment of being your parents. You are such a ray of sunshine in our lives, and we thank God everyday for giving us such a precious gift! Being the energetic toddler you are, you have definitely kept us on our toes in the last month since our previous update! Here are 18 exciting things we want to remember about you at this age:
2. You really like your play tents right now. Santa brought them to you and you've decided they're pretty awesome. You think its your little fort! You take your blankies, drinks, toys, and books in there and have a good ol' time!
You love it when daddy climbs in the tent with you. He's really just a big kid, after all! ;)
3. You think Elmo is pretty much the greatest thing, EVER! I hear you say, "Elmo" at least 50 times a day! lol You like your "Hokey Pokey Elmo" that dances, and you LOVE, LOVE, LOVE watching Elmo on YouTube. In fact, you are usually saying, "Elmo" 50 times each day as you point at the computer. he he!
Your favorite Elmo video is the song by Will i am (with Sesame Street) called "What I Am." Its a great song! :)
4. You are obsessed with technology. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, lol! You already know how to work my phone, the TV remotes, and are getting pretty good at the Ipad. You LOVE the Talking Tomcat app on the Ipad! You like it because he repeats all the noises and things you say to him!
5. You vocabulary has taken off this month!!!!!!!! You are saying sooooo many words that it would be impossible for me to list them all. You repeat EVERYTHING! Some of my favorites are: love you, bath, towel, hey, Elmo, potty, snow and apple. You also went from saying, "da-da" to saying, "daddy!!!" YOU. ARE. A. SPONGE. I'm going to have to start writing down each new word right as you say it so I can keep up! We LOVE watching you learn so much each day! Its been a great experience for all of us!
6. You have really taken an interest in feeding yourself with utensils! You are doing such a great job too! We're still working on the part where we don't turn the spoon upside down, though! ;)
7. You've had some wooden puzzles for a while now, but you've just now REALLY taken an interest in them. You like to put your puzzles together and then clap for yourself! lol We clap for you too!
8. You really like boxes. :)
9. You got to see snow for the "first" time this month!!! Okay, it isn't the first time you've seen snow, but you were too little last year to actually enjoy it! One of your new words this month was "Snow," but it sounds more like, "no!" lol You were so excited that you ran from window to window watching it fall!
10. You have discovered how to climb up onto the couch. You push your Pottery Barn chair over to the couch as use it as a step stool to climb up! lol
11. You have become such a helper! For example, when I say its bath time, you run to your bottom dresser drawer to get your towel and washcloth, and then you bring to us in the bathroom! :) Its pretty cute!
12. You were sick for a few days this month :( You had a virus that kept you pretty under the weather. You had a fever for a few days, which made night time rough! You didn't sleep well, so neither did Momma or Daddy! lol Here's a sweet pic of our poor sick bubby one day. You wanted to sit like this by daddy and fell asleep!
13. You are still being a pretty picky eater, but we are working on that! ;) You definately let us know what you like and don't like.
14. I think Momma and Daddy are FINALLY going to win the battle of the bottle with you! lol We finally dropped the morning bottle, and all we have left is to get rid of the night time ba-ba! Whoo hoo! I thought you were planning on taking your ba-ba to kindergarten with you! THIS.IS.THE.MONTH! Look for a "no more ba-ba" post soon! :)
15. You are fascinated with shoes! You try to put your little feet in our shoes and walk around! lol
16. You love to go bye-bye! You don't care where to, either! You just like to get in the car and go! :) You are quite the little socialite... you love to go visit friends and family!
17. You have been the king of boo-boos this month! :( Momma doesn't like it at all! I guess that is what the day in the life of a toddler BOY is like, though! You have busted your lip several times tripping over toys, and you fell one day while holding your sippy cup, and the spout gave you a little bruise right under your eye! Let's pray that this next month is boo-boo free!!!
18. You have started playing more independently. It is absolutely precious to look over and see my sweet little bubby reading a book to himself! I just want to go cuddle and squeeze you!!
Happy 18 months, Bubby!!! We love you soooooooooooo much!
We can't wait to see what you have in store for us next! You are such a blessing in our lives and we love you to the moon and back millions of times!
Love,
Momma and Daddy
