18 Month Bean

Crazy how time slips away....no matter how much we try to hold on to it. 18 months old already!!!!

We finally went to the doctor...you weighed in at 25.6 lbs, are 33 inches long and growing well on the charts :)

In everyday life you have become a little bit of a holy terror on Spider-Man steroids! You climb anything and everything! There is nothing you fear (very much contrary to what your big brother was like!). You are learning the process of "time out" and have even begun to throw full on tantrums at home...yes, laying on the floor and screaming. Since I can't quite pick you so easily now I tend to just walk over you and ignore the fit, which is working for now :)

You are smart....crazy smart! I can see the wheels in your brain turning as you process things....mostly how you are going to go about causing some form of destruction or climb something in the house. Your vocabulary is still a bit limited but I am not too terribly worried because you communicate exactly what you want and how you want it. Right now you say our own version of "pipe", "mama", "Sugar", "Cookie", "Nena", you give me signs for "all done", "more", "bye".

You love to play with the iPad and think you are 18 months going on 5. Anything MJD does you think you should too. Climbing the high top chairs is your newest feat and you love to sit like a big boy. Baby toys are a thing of the past! Bring on matchbox cars and watching video games with your brother. You want so badly to figure out how to play Mason's LeapPad that it drives you bonkers. You growl like a dinosaur and think it something everyone should do back to you. And every time MJD leaves the car to go to school you start to cry.

I have loved the last 18 months with you Bean :)
