18 month update!



Beckett turned 18 months earlier this month, and i think it is safe to say we have a toddler on our hands! He is ninety to nothing the majority of the time. I have been surprised lately at how he is trying to talk. He has a decent amount of words and it seems like he learns a new one each day-today for instance it was "night-night" and "two" So for my sake alone i am going to spit out a few of his likes and dislikes so i don't forget them!

Likes:
-hats, Barney, Elmo, balls, books, chicken, fruit, dogs, babies
-he could stay outside all day if i would let him
-he can tell you what the dog, cat, cow, and bird say, but when you ask him what the duck says he says "duck, duck"
-saying NO!
-he still sleeps in our bed for naptime, but his bed at night
-the Exersaucer! I love that he will still get in there at 18months! We affectionately call it the trap and it really helps me out during the day. He loves to have his snack in there and watch Barney-i will cry the day he realizes he could get out of it:)
-his new favorite food is Spaghetti!!
-getting his teeth brushed and baths

Dislikes:
-naptime, mommy leaving, getting measured at the doctor
-Veggies....he is still yet to eat veggies at this point, but the Dr. doesn't seem too concerned-she did say we could do a vitamin though, so i guess we will start that
-He is getting A LOT better at MMO. For awhile i was having to leave him for only 1.5 hours and slowly but surely we are building up to him staying the whole time...i am keeping my fingers crossed!!!! He stayed the majority of the time last week and did ok.

Stats:
Weight-28lbs 2oz. (80% i think)
Height-34 3/4in. (still off the chart)
Head: 49cm.
We are still missing our MMR shot, but once we get that we will be all done with shots for awhile!

Despite the daily temper tantrums he really is an easy baby. He loves when his daddy comes home and is obsessed with going to his Mimi's house. I can't imagine what it will be like when he is no longer a "momma's boy" hopefully he always will be:) We really are blessed to have such an awesome little boy. I can't imagine life without him-i can however remember how much easier it was to keep the house clean:)
