Today B is 18 months old, and I swear it seems like someone hit the fast forward button on our life. At the risk of sounding cliche, everyday he amazes me even more! These past few weeks he has become SO interested in the things around him. Everywhere we go he has to point out various things, and say, "Wow!!!!" His vocabulary is amazing and gets better everyday. He is a little sponge, and picks up on things so quickly. He is turning in to such an amazing little boy and is completely crazy with energy! He certainly keeps me on my toes, and I never forget for a second how blessed Brian and I are to have him in our lives. He has enriched out lives more than we ever could have expected. He's amazing!
To keep track of a few of the latest milestones, I am going to list some of the latest and greatest!
At 18 months he can say: Mama, Dada, Ball, Car, Juice, Please, That, Hot, Cold, Meow, Ruff, Hi, Wow, Bye, PawPaw, Out, Me, Eat, Water, Yellow, and a ton of letters.
He is fascinated with letters. Everywhere we go he points out the letters. HE is particularly attached to the letters "R," "A," "O," "T," "D," "P," and "E." He is good about actually pointing out the letters "R," and "A."
He LOVES cars, and especially big trucks. Today, we waited for the dump truck to pick up out trash all while hearing him say "WOW!!" :)
He loves cats, and will point them out and say, "Meow" with this cute little scruntched up face. Heh...he gets his love of cats from his Momma. :)
His latest is pointing out Momma and Dada in all of the pictures he sees. He's been pointing out Dada for awhile, but added Momma lately. I've always emphasized Dada because Brian has been gone, so it is so nice that he started Momma on his own. Makes me feel special. :)
He loves to say hi and bye to himself in the mirror everynight when he brushes his teeth. :)
He LOVES to run around naked after his bath! lol He gets THAT from his Daddy. :)
He loves watching Barney, Yo Gabba Gabba, and The Backyardigans.
He gets in to EVERYTHING...ALL THE TIME!!! Hahaha.
He can point out eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, hair, head, feet, toes, belly, hands, and knees.
His favorite song is The Itsy Bitsy Spider and the babies and mommies verses of The Wheels on the Bus.
He loves when I point out the color of things. He will point to something (especially floors with different colors) and wait for me to say the color.
He will not say hello to someone on the phone, but he will say bye.
He loves to "read" anything.
He goes to bed around 8pm and sleeps until around 8-9am. He takes a nap from around 12:30-4pm.
He has 4 molars, 4 bottom teeth, and 4 top teeth.
He has the cutest dimples I have ever seen.
His eyes are still blue and green.
He weighs about 33 pounds and is about 37 inches tall. He wears 3T, and some 4T and a size 6.5/7 shoe.
I'm sure there are a ton of other things that I am leaving out. He is a wonderful little boy. Everyday is an adventure, and we are loving every moment of watching him grow and learn.
We thank God, or the universe, or the spirits that be everyday for allowing us the opportunity to have him in our lives.
Mommy and Daddy love you Brandon!!
I leave you with pictures of our little (big) guy and his half birthday cake! Enjoy!

He's a big guy!
Encourage the letter thing. Sesame Street is good for that, as well as letter puzzles. David knows all his letters and numbers. At their age it isn't much more than a stupid human trick, but it's fun.
