19 months old...slow down time!!! Here is a look at month 18...

Wow, unbelievable...I'm wondering if there is a slow motion button??? It's true time sure does fly when you are having fun. I am savoring each and every moment, especially now that I've been given the gift of being a stay at home mommy. I love being here for each and every moment, and I love my husband even more for giving me this opportunity that I will forever be grateful for.


Here are some highlights from month 18:


*Totally into cars, trucks, and everything boy! He usually has a truck or car in each hand and you will see him making it go around on the floor with the mmmmmm sound

*Check up went great! I know I shared this in the 17 month review, but he was really 18 months at that check up, so I will share it here too. He is 22 lbs, so still a little guy, but growing, growing! He has met all his milestones, and the Dr. was impressed with how well he talks. He didn't get his 18 month shots because he was still battling an ear infection :( Which led us back to the ENT and we are scheduled for tubes August 27th :( Overall, a healthy, happy baby so I couldn't be more thankful for that!!!


*Says several phrases...talks so much there is no way to keep up with all that he says now! I love it when he says "there go" (there you go), "etzelllll" (pretzel, he holds that ellll out), he does a whole lot of talking that you catch a few words in, he can really get going!!!


*Still in love with everything outdoors!


*Has discovered standing/walking on his tippy toes, soooo cute :)


*Loves to give kisses with a big "muah" sound...and we LOVE getting them. He is such a cuddly, loving baby...so sweet! The other day my hair had fallen into my face and he reached up and gently moved it out of my face...melted my heart.


*Has a new game he LOVES to play with Daddy...they get on the couch and hide, throw, fall, hit each other with all the pillows...this has become a nightly ritual in our house...along with riding the horsey (riding on Daddy's back while he does push ups)


*Still in love with the water...went all the way under in water class AND jumped off the side to Daddy


*Loves to vacuum with the swivel sweeper, and I must say I love this one ;)

* When you ask him what he wants...he will really think and say ummmm, ummm, ummm...then tell you what he wants.

*It is really neat to be able to communicate, for the most part we can understand what he wants and he can understand when we ask or tell him to do something

*Can climb up and go down his slide all by himself now

*Loves to throw things away in the trash can

*He will fake laugh now to get attention, if you say, "Clayton is Daddy funny?" He will fake laugh really loud...he is such a ham!!!

*Loves to sing...especially the La La La La, Elmo's World song!

So many more things I am sure, he just does so many new things everyday, it is hard to keep up with it all :)
