Calender

So I decided to make scrapbook calendars for my parents and in-laws for Christmas and I thought I would just put them up here in case anyone wants to try it sometime. It took a long time to do, but it was really fun and it is something that they can always keep. I just wanted to blog it for future reference,so it is more for me than anything but here it is.

18 months

So my baby boy is 18 months holy cow! I absolutely love this age and I really don't want him to grow up, but I think I say that all the time so I guess I will just keep loving whatever stage he is in right...? He had his check-up and is 30 inches and weighs 23lbs. He used to be in the 75% or higher on everything but now he is only an average Joe :)
He is into everything, but he is such a good little boy and listens really well. If I tell him no he usually obeys and he usually does what I ask him to. Like McKenna he is quite the helper as well. He always helps me fold the laundry, well his rendition which is more like throwing them on the floor, but it is the thought that counts right? He loves helping me put the clean dishes away and put stuff away. Usually all I have to do is start singing the clean up song and he will put away the toys or whatever it is that needs to be picked up. I love my little helper.
He is talking so well that is feels like he is so grown up now and I miss my little baby. He likes to think he is really big too.

It is so fun to hear him talk though and I can't help but laugh at the way he says certain things. My favorite things he says are "wawa"(water), "hold you" and "help you" when he wants to be held or helped, and "i do," and "i got this," and "mine," "want some" and "don't." I could go on and on. I love his little voice though and it is fun that he can communicate so well with us now.
Unfortunately he also has gotten into the independent stage and wont really let me or anyone do things for him much which is good in some ways but also really messy in others. He tries to do everything sister does but thankfully I can reason with him and he understands.
He really is into playing with balls and rocks and cars and pretty much anything that he is not supposed to be playing with. He really loves playing kitties with Kenna. They will get on the ground and start meowing and crawling around. It is quite entertaining. He also loves to listen to music and to dance. Whenever he hears music he starts to spin around or bounce and move his arms. It is hilarious. His favorite thing is being outside though. He could stay out there forever so I can't wait for it to get warmer.

He sleeps really well still which is awesome! I love that he still has a nap and it is so easy to put him down. He is such an easy going guy and I am so thankful for that.
Anyway, I love my boy and am looking forward to all the fun adventures that will come our way.
