A Fun Week!

This week I started going to my new Mother's Day Out on Mondays & Wednesdays! I love my teachers, Ali & Tricia. My classroom has really fun toys & we get to go to music class! I get to take my nap on a cot. Mommy was wondering how this would go, but when she picked me up Ali told her I crawled up onto my cot & fell right to sleep. I was tired from all the playing! In other news, I have been putting 2 words together - I can say & sign "more please" & "help please." I have been doing better at saying please without Mommy or Daddy prompting me. I also have other new words this week - spoon, nap & bird. Mommy was surprised yesterday when we were playing outside - I heard a bird tweet, so I looked up & said bird while doing the sign! Mommy didn't even know I knew the sign for bird - I have seen it on Baby Signing Time! Mommy & Daddy are also beginning to notice that I never meet a stranger. I say hi to EVERYONE! I even say hi or bye bye to people who are getting into their cars in parking lots. Today Mommy & I were at Hobby Lobby. I said hi to everyone I saw - the cashier, people in line, etc. Then when we got home we were getting out of our car & our neighbor was getting out of his car. He said hello & I walked right over to him to talk! I am just a friendly little guy!

Edging!

I have discovered Daddy's edger & I think it is really fun to push around the garage! Maybe soon he will let me help him:)

Fun Animal Pics!

Mommy & I went to the zoo last Friday & we took these fun pics! The animals were really showing off for us that morning!

This & That...

*Today Mommy made a list of my words - I currently have over 30 & it seems that I am adding to that list daily!
*I know 9 body parts & can point to mine & to Mommy's & Daddy's as well - nose, ears, mouth, tongue, eyes, brain, toes, knees, tummy
*I have become very aware of my nose being runny - when it needs to be wiped I walk around pointing to it, saying "nose" over & over!
*I LOVE to read books & I'm interacting more when Mommy & Daddy read to me - I point to objects when they ask me to find them. I also point to objects I recognize & say the word, such as ball.

My BeBe Pod!

I found my BeBe Pod in my closet today & thought it would be fun to sit in it! Amazing - I still fit:)
Silly me! Always laughing about something!

What do you think of my new haircut? Mommy took me to get it trimmed today, but watched carefully to make sure my curls stayed! They did & we're happy!

Eat, Eat, Eat

I love to eat! My favorite breakfast is a scrambled egg with cheese & a banana! This is what I get every morning!
I love my veggies! Carrots, brocolli, peas, green beans...Yummy!
I'm doing so good with the spoon! Today I ate my applesauce all by myself!

Trip to the Zoo!

Last night a few couples from Mommy & Daddy's Sunday School class went to the zoo! We had such a great time seeing all the animals! Mommy & Daddy even let me get out of my stroller & walk - I was such a good boy & loved the freedom!

I kept calling him a dog:)

My 18 Month Check-Up!

Yesterday Mommy & Daddy took me to Dr. Stecklow for my 18 month appt. I weighed 19 lbs, 1oz, & was 30 inches long. What's so exciting is that I am back on the growth chart for height! Although I am still not on the chart for weight, I did move up closer to the chart:) Dr. S was very pleased with my progress. It's no wonder I've grown, considering how much I've been eating lately - A typical meal for me is 2 hot dogs, veggies & fruit. I really impressed Mommy & Daddy the other day when I ate 3/4 of an entire box of mac & cheese (all for dinner)! I guess all my moving around is helping me keep my trim figure:)

Baaaa!

A while back Mommom gave me a cute little sheep toy that says "Baaa" when you push the tummy. I brought it in the living room this morning & thought it would be fun to push it into my shapes sorter container. For some reason, this cracked me up:) I thought it was soooo funny, as you can tell from the pictures!!

My New Grocery Cart!

Mommy got me a grocery cart! I love it! I have been pushing it all over the house and I love giving BoBo a ride! The cart came with some food too! I have been lining the food up on the coffee table & then putting it my cart!

Playing with Molly!

Molly & I were sharing so well! Mommy had to take a picture:)

Play Group!

Last Monday we had play group at our house! 8 mommies & their babies. It was fun!
