Watch Me Grow - 18 Months

I am full swing into toddlerhood....and lovin' it! Can't say the same for my folks! But hey they're learning to deal with it. I like to call it "Battle of the Wills"-- you win some, you lose some!


So....where shall I start....



18 Months Progress:
Stats:22lb 4 in, 32 inches
Development:
- Have about a 20-word vocabulary. Use it when I want to.
-Sometimes even make 2 word sentences.
My 2 favorite words, "Mama, milk."
My 2nd favorite word "NO!"
Other favorites are "Doggie, Bub-ble, and Book"
-Starting to repeat things (watch what you say, you'll never know when I might repeat ya)!
-Hand eye-coordination improving daily. I can swing a bat and hit a ball off the T. (And you know Daddy is proud. He has show everyone that comes over)!
-Climbing on, off, out of everything...not even that crib can hold me down! I like to escape during dinner--out of my chair, across the table, down into a chair, and on to the floor (all while my Mommy's back is turned)!
-Improved balance - I practice my stunts by standing on my motorcycle seat!
-Go down slide sitting up (I used go down head first on my tummy)!
-Know a few body parts-can't say'em yet except "nose", but I know where they are.
-Mouthing nursery rhymes (we think)!
-Trying to count (1, 2, 3...is about all I got for now, the rest I make up)!


Fun Facts & Other Interesting Things:
-Went to a few more parties over the summer: godbro and sis had b-days. Got to ride the train at my godbro's party; had fun at Gabrielle's party at Golfland. That's me and Ian sippin' on a cold one waiting for the train.




-Went to Children's Discovery Museum--had lots of fun! Check out my wetsuit. My first Picasso, I must concentrate!




-Saw a few old girlfriends: Gabrielle (different one from the party) and Zoe. They came all the way to Cali from Texas and Atlanta to see me!









- I go biking w/ my parents sometime. I sit in the front where I can see everything. It's a lot of fun! One time I fell asleep on a long ride thru Coyote Trail. I'm helping Daddy fix the bike. One good wack w/ the hammer and we'll be ready to ride!





Safety first Daddy!





Must have my shades!









-I'm sitting forward facing in the car now! They finally bought me a "Big-little persons" seat! So Mommy has moved back to the front seat! Mommy let me borrow her sunglasses to keep the sun out of my eyes!



-I'm trying to figure out what is the point of this "Time-out chair!" They say if I don't straighten up, then they will keep putting me there.
