18 Months

Happy 20th Month in this World!

 (this picture is 2 months old)

You are exploring your boundaries a lot! 

Your tantrums consist of the following:

• "No, no, no, no, no!"
• Throw whatever is in your hand or mouth on the ground
• Throw yourself on the ground
• Create saliva and spit it out of your mouth. I'm pretty sure you do this because you can't make yourself actually cry real tears yet. 
• Get distracted and stop

You make us a laugh a lot!!

You say lots of words with soft endings:

• Da-ee (Daddy)
• Qwa-cka (Cracker)
• I see ew (I see you)
• Do do (Dog dog)
• Se-sa (Stella)
• Uhv-u (Love you)
• Ank ew (Thank you)
• Ga ka ka (You're welcome)
• Na na (Pacifier)
• Yesh (yes)
• Cher (cheers)
• Chi chi (chicken)
• Che (cheese)
• Da (that)
• Ki-ca (kitty cat)

You say lots of words very well:

• Bye Bye
• Apple
• Momma
• No
• Chica
• Elmo
• Oh no
• Elsha (Elsa)
• Anna
• Go
• Puff
• Off

You also say things that we have no idea what you're saying:

• Habish
• Ha-pi-ta

You ask me to sing Let it Go from Frozen every night before you go to bed! This is my favorite thing you do right now!

You can say "oh no" and "off" but won't say "Olaf"! You call him Elsha. (These are characters from the Frozen movie)

You love to play in your playroom. You still love your ball tent, your kitchen and then random items like DVD cases, game cases and plastic containers.

You're obsessed with taking things out of something and putting them back in over and over! It doesn't matter what it is but this process fascinates you.

You don't like to color but you like markers

You love the "Baby Shark" song

You have a good grasp on snapping! Seriously; you've almost got it down!

You have seen the movie Frozen about 5 times (maybe more) but only a few times all the way through.

You are enjoying sitting on the couch more and you'll actually sit there longer than 5 seconds sometimes

You call all animals by their sounds: (except a cat is still a cat just a ki-ca)

• Moo (cow)
• Quack quack (duck)
•  Neigh (horse)
• Ba (sheep & goat)
• You make the panting sound for dog
• Rwar (bear or lion)
• Tweet tweet (bird)
• Bbbbaaawww (elephant)
• Ooo ooo ahh ahh (monkey)

You grin a huge sheepish grin and cock your head to the side when you think you're being funny or have done something funny

You love Puffs!

You most always start to throw food on the floor when you're done eating. This is not one of my favorite things that you do right now! I'm glad we have a dog!

You love to "puddle" in the sink (play with the water with bowls & cups)

You're a great shopping buddy (most times) although you don't seem to like Trader Joe's. I think the crowds stress you out.

You make us play Ring around the Rosies a lot and we never deny you! We love to play it too!

You're not a huge fan of sitting in your highchair anymore. You need a big girl chair now!

You like to "cheers" and sometimes "cheers" with our utensils too!


I can't believe you're 20 months old! 20 months on the 20th! That's some sort of golden birthday I think! Actually I think it'll be when you actually turn 20 years old but hey you'll only be 20 months once; right?!

I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love you!!!
