I cannot believe I have an 18 month old!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN???????????
You dont know? Me neither. But at this rate I'll be sending him off to his first day of Kindergarten next month - yikes!
He is doing great at 18 months - lets see here are some stats (we go to his doc appt tomorrow so I will know weight and height then :)
He is still wearing size 5 diapers and sleeps GREAT at night! 7 pm - 7-8 am. I hardly ever hear a peep! Praise! Naps are so so - most of the time 1 hr and a half but sometimes its 45 min or 3 hours. You just never know!
He has such a personality! We are trying to encourage please and thank you. He holds his arm up for please (but we started that because he held it up for us to turn on any lights so since he already knew that we transferred it into please - genius I know haha)
He is definitely having the irrational tantrums. He wanted his blue bib on the other day so badly after lunch, but before nap, and he had a total meltdown sobbing and sobbing. I have no clue what that was about but he was desperate to get that bib on! Probably stalling before nap :)
He also fights me almost every diaper change and getting into the car seat. This is probably the most annoying tantrum. UGH. We are seriously about to start Time Out - I think I've said that a gazillion times but honestly, I mean it! ;) Mainly because he is really understanding No and he started spitting out milk and water and laughing when we tell him no. Which results in a major clothing change and almost bath because of how sticky milk is - and not to mention cleaning the carpet!!!
Eating is still very hit or miss - the child won't touch a veggie or potato, noddle, etc to save his life. But he does love toast, now he also likes raisin toast, no more cheese toast, cheese cubes, bananas, waffles, and all things crackers and snacks. Likes Veggie Sticks and most muffins - as long as they are orange or brownish (he won't try the chocolate chip white muffin I just made) Go figure - boy he doesn't know what he is missing out on! But he loves the honey bran one and of course pumpkin bread, gingerbread, etc
His future Wife should thank me, really. I mean - who won't love a guy that knows his way around the house with a broom!? He is getting to where he sort of wants to help clean up - well sometimes. He will hand me blocks to put back or put them in the box himself. Only if I ask. he brings me things off the floor if he doesn't' know what they are which I love! Sometimes they are dangerous - like rocks or a tiny plastic piece!
He loves Sophie - he tries to throw her toys for her to chase which is just precious! he throws her his balls too which she isn't supposed to have but seeing as the ball pit has over 100 balls that just isn't a battle I am willing to start! :)
My happy boy!
In the nice weather we go to the park - he loves running around (Yes he is RUNNING these days!) Wearing me OUT :)
He is really grasping what we say to him more and more - he knows when I say "lets go" or "lets get in the car" we are leaving. He will tell the TV "Bye Bye" at night after his video ends. If we are somewhere else and I say "lets go home and see sophie" he knows its his dog and we are about to leave. I have started giving him countdowns when we have to leave a fun place so he is more prepared. He still pitches a fit for his car seat but it isn't as bad sometimes. Life with a toddler is NEVER boring :)
