Our little boy is 18 months old today! It's crazy how fast that time has gone!
Here are some pictures of G the past couple of weeks. He has become such a grown up little boy within the past month! He is talking a lot more and loves to sing, especially Row Row Row Your Boat, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Ring Around The Rosie! We just say "Sing your songs" and he starts with "row, row, row...." It is so cute!
He has also turned into a smart (aka naughty) little cookie! He definatly keeps us on our toes! He is to the point where it is very hard to take him anywhere because he LOVES to run and run and run, which he has always loved to do, but now he KNOWS that he can run away from us and it is a game to him. Little Stinker! He loves to run in the street especially because he knows he is not supposed to.....see what I mean about the naughtiness??? :)
He still loves to hug and kiss and give eskimo kisses! That's what we love about our little boy! As crazy as he is, he always wants to come and give us hugs and kisses and is SO lovey! It's awesome! When we go someplace he can just play and play and run around and not even know we are there, but when he does remember we're there he runs up for a hug!
He is going through a screaming phase right now which has been frustrating. We think it's because he is communicating so well that when we don't know what he wants or when he isn't getting what he wants right away he just screams because he is frustrated. He is used to us always knowing what he wants, but now that he is picking up new words it takes us a little bit to figure out what he wants! Hopefully this phase passes quickly because we have had to leave several places lately due to excessive screaming at the top of his lungs.....did I mention he also has a temper??? :)
He is gettig to be very easy to put to bed, which is awesome! He naps great! Still doing 2 a day, but he can go with just an afternoon nap if he needs to. However, the morning naps are his easiest to go down for and he can sleep 2 to 3 hours if I let him. Many times he comes up and lets us know he is ready for bed. He fusses and whines and wants up and as soon as we pick him up he puts his head on our shoulders. We ask if he wants to go night night and he either nods his head or says yes. Sometimes he will go in his room and get his blanket and stand by his crib whining to get in. Nights are harder than this if it is before 10:00. But, his bedtime this summer has been 10:00 or later and he goes right down.
We have tried many nights to put him to bed before 10:00 and he fights it and screams until he throws up in his crib. (Remember the naughtiness???) haha!
This picture is from when he got his leg stuck in his crib a few days ago. He was napping and must have fallen asleep with his leg stuck in the bars of the crib and woke himself up when he was trying to turn. I went in there and it was stuck up to his thigh and I couldn't get it out. He was screaming in pain and I couldn't get it past his knee. We had to call Daddy to the rescue! This pic is from while we were waiting.....
His favorite toy....the hose! He is obsessed with hoses! He LOVES to play in water and can play with hoses for hours! He sticks it in his face, all over his body, on top of his head, he twirls it around, whatever he can find to get water all over. It has gotten so bad that we have to hide the hose in our backyard so he can't get to it or he throws a huge fit the entire time because he wants the water on.
This is Grady and Luke playing! Grady's new thing is when you tell him you are going to take a picture he says "cheese" and then squats down. It is so weird. We have no idea how he learned that!
Grady and Isaac!
Isaac wanted to copy the "picture stance"!
"Cheese!"
