Charmer

18 months!

My baby boy is a whopping 18 months old.

He is such a charmer. He has the sweetest personality.

At 18 months he loves to give "loves" and kisses. He has perfected all the animal sounds, and practices them often. He loves running around outside, and when it is raining and we can't go outside, he stares out the back door window and says "please".

He is so polite! He says "peease" and "dank too" like a champ. (Even from the back seat when we are ordering in the drive through)

He can gallop like a horse. It's both entertaining, and amusing...he's quite coordinated!

He still loves the BYU fight song--and claps/ does the ra ra ra at the end...we are so proud.

He loves to dance and rock out in the back seat.

He waves to everyone-- such a friendly little thing :)

The first word out of his mouth in the morning is still "ball"

He loves to go to papa's farm and see the sheepies and pigs.

He loves nursery (the teachers could just be saying this, but they say he is the best behaved)

He loves to sing, play hide-and-seek, and follow memo around the house.

We are working on his ABC's and 123's.
He loves his dadee. He asks for him all day long.

He loves to dip everything in ketchup. He also loves nanas and berries and says "cracka" when he wants something to eat. He is a candy fiend. You want this kid to love you immediately, you give him "nandy".

He loves to laugh along with anything.

He also claps for people at church when they finish their testimonies. (we should be working harder on saying "amen", but I sometimes think you need a good clap!)

He loves to sing "popcorn popping" "if you're happy and you know it" and "once there was a snowman"--

He loves to play with his friends...especially london and penny

He can take a bath for hours...it may be due to the amount of time I spent in the bath tub while pregnant with him.

I still can't get over his expressions. His uh-oh face is my absolute favorite!

His monster eyelashes. Love. them.

I also love how he climbs on everything, but has never attempted to climb out of the crib. Instead, when he wants out, he just sits and repeats "mama", until I come. It makes me feel needed :) Which is sometimes really nice in the life of a toddler.

When he wants something, he grabs my hand, and leads me there.

Pretty much melts my heart.

Motherhood has it's moments, but most of them are pretty dang good.

Especially with this little guy :)
