18 Months!! (Holy Cow!)

At 18 months Peanut:

~ weighs about 24.5 lbs

~ is about 32.2 inches long

 

~Is hard to keep up with...walking and running all over the place!

~Has such a funny personality. He cracks me up with his goofiness.

~Has started to say a few words, finally. He calls both me and Hubby "Mom" much to Hubby's dismay. Other words: one, Ernie, moon, Elmo, murmel murmel (from the Robert Munsch book!) and up. Very strange to see which words are important to him! And they aren't all that clear yet (beyond up and Mom)

~Eats like a champ, but it depends on his mood. He is very adept at using his fork and spoon, and drinks out of a cup now. But we still use the straw to minimize spillage when he's on the move. 

~ He's invented a bunch of different signs for everything. Popular ones are more, diaper and Big Bird.

~ Still gets into EVERYTHING. 

~ Loves bath time, and chasing Kitty. But now that he can run, Kitty is much more alert! 

~ LOVES music. He plays his ukelele, his drum set and our piano. He dances up a storm and "sings" along. He loves it when Hubby plays the guitar or when I play the piano. 

~ He is a reading machine. We spend hours a day going through books, reading them, looking at pictures and pointing out all the words we know. We have had to "lose" a few books because we just couldn't stand reading them any longer!!


I cannot believe that he is a year and a half. He has become his own little person, and it's so fun to watch him learn and explore the world. I am one lucky mama!
