18 months

Liam is now on the other side of 1- headed towards 2. He is so much fun, he adds so much joy and laughter to our lives. He gets soo excited to see someone he loves! He dances and turns around in circles and claps his hands and yells and says "hi". He is saying no, hi, bye, go, that, mom-mom-mom, dad, yeah, all-done, more. He is still pretty quiet on the word front though, he seems to listen and take it all in, and he does lots of jibber-jabber and yelling (in a happy and sometimes not happy way).

He is getting really attached to a few toys, he has this red fire truck and sings about a puppy, that he wants to hold and play with all the time, he cries for it, etc. Then today my mom gave him a little white jeep and he did the same thing. He is also really attached to his little blue "taggy" which is a huck and stella term I copied for his Little Giraffe brand blanky.

We have been slowly weaning the binky and he is doing really good.

We haven't started any potty training but will at least get a baby potty in the next 6 months.

He is getting his pants on and off and trying with his shirt, putting socks on and off, trying with his shoes.

He still loves cars and trucks and he still loves taking things in and out of a box, basket, etc. He loves playing with dirt, mulch and rocks, he gets them and puts them in the back of his cozy coupe truck and "hauls" them around outside.

He really enjoys the playground we met my good friend Lindsey and Liam's future wife ;) Julia today and they had so much fun, they were super excited to see eachother!

He also thinks pushing his stroller around is so fun- which is cute but he never wants to ride in it anymore. He thinks he is so big.

He also feeds himself with a spoon now, and he is actually good at it.

He has some big transitions coming up and I think he will handle them beautifully.

At his check up he was 26 pounds and 34 inches... 50th percentile and 75th percentile, like always.
