18 Months - The Big Monster



Favorite words:
No (Nah)
Yah
Momma (sounds like Mumma)
Dadda
Ball (Baw)
Dog (Dah)
Outside (ow-sigh)
Wawa
Od-ee (Audrey)
Moo (Moon)

Favorite Things:
Balls
Books (especially the 100 First Word picture books and Goodnight Gorilla)
Balls
Copying his sister
Hopping/Jumping (he successfully can hop on two feet and he loves to do it)
Tippy toeing
Balls
Wrestling
Dancing
Songs (especially wheels on the bus)
Sitting in the living room chair with mom (he points and wants to sit, suck his bottom lip and burrow his head in to cuddle)

He loves to oink like a pig, neigh like a horse, woof like a dog and choo-choo like a train.
Boy oh boy does this boy have a temper. We went through a week of horribly head banging when he putting him to bed. You could hear it through the whole house, followed by 'Mama Ouchie' and waking up with bruises. (Apparently it is somewhat common, you don't want to interrupt or react and means he's a genius). We have finally got him in a bedtime routine with three songs: Hush Little Baby, Baby Beluga and Twinkle Twinkle.

He is a huge copy cat, especially after his sister.
He is accident prone and a total boy.
He is full of personality - a cuddle bug - opinionated - and still a huge mama's boy (STILL nursing once in the morning and if I try to get by without, he is UP IN ARMS!)
He's the cutest, sweetest little monster there ever could be.
