18 months...

18 months...I cant believe it!  That has always sounded so old for me when people would talk about their 18 month old..how do I already have one?! 

Height: 33 1/4" (80%)
Weight: 25 lbs 10oz (50%)

Sweet boy is so ready for warmer weather...having to stay inside all day is about to send him over the edge!  We have had a few warmer days so we have soaked those up outside...which means one happy little boy in this house! 





He is repeating and copying everything these days....it is precious!  From words that we say, to things that we do...he is such a sponge and is taking every single thing in. 


Two of his bottom molars are beginning to pop through so that has been fun :)  He has really handled those a lot better than the top two so far.  This gives him a total of 11 teeth...slowly but surely these pearly whites are coming through!  He LOVES to brush his teeth...I hope this great dental hygiene lasts forever :)

He loves laughing...which works out well because he cracks himself...and me...up all day :)


We tried finger painting a few times this month...he loved it.  Was a little confused that he couldn't eat the paint, but finally got the hang of it.  He does this at school a good bit so it was fun seeing him try it out at home.  As far as a paint brush goes...well, he'd rather get paint all over the brush then throw it on the floor...watching the paint splatter everywhere... :)


He is still handing out kisses and hugs left and right...I.LOVE.THIS!  He has always been a cuddly little thing, but has taken that to a whole new level here recently. 


Bath time is still a favorite...he loves filling things up in the bath and then pouring it all over him.  I think he would stay in the bath all day if we let him!






He is in to EVERYTHING.  EVERYTHING!  I love his curiosity and inquisitive nature...he loves to figure out how things work and go together.


He is very lovey with his stuffed animals..and a doll he found at my parent's house...I think he's getting ready for baby sister to come along.  I hope he loves on her like he does his animals!



We took a fun trip to the McWane center this month with Mel and the kiddos...W just loves his cousins so much!


We are in the process of getting his big boy room together...it has been a process, but I think we almost have everything.  Now we just need to move it all in to the room!  We debated on whether or not to move him in to a big-boy bed now or wait until later, but we decided to go ahead and keep him in a crib for the time being and move him into a twin (which will also be in his room) when we feel like he is ready.  He LOVES his crib, so I didn't want to rush him out of it.  We are going to move his furniture and crib in to the baby's room, then get him a new temporary crib...I don't think he'll be in it for long, but we feel like it is what is right and best for him right now.
