It's amazing how time flies. My little man is 18 months old, and he is definitely ALL boy! He loves to run, jump, climb, dance, and play. He's into every kind of ball and will throw a flat out tantrum if we walk by a basketball goal and don't stop to play (which means anything held in a basketball gym is out!) He is obsessed with water and loves to splash and swim. He also loves rough and tumble play with DaDa.
As his independence develops, so does his sweet, caring personality. He gives the best bear hugs--he will be across the room and come running towards you with arms open wide. He has also learned to "smack" with his kiss, which he does often. Every once in a while, he even snuggles up into my lap for some cuddle time. He loves to smile and wave to everyone, including strangers at the grocery store. He will say "Hi" and "Bye" to pretty much anyone. He has his daddy's outgoing personality. :)
He still loves to listen to his favorite books. He will let you know which ones he wants and will often chant along with them. For example, while reading the book Five Silly Monkeys, when we get to the line "No more monkeys jumping/skipping/dancing/etc. on the bed", he will shake his little finger and say "no, no, no, no..." It is priceless!
His smile melts my heart, and his laugh makes my day. His life makes me complete, and I thank God every day for His precious gift to us!
