Our munchkin is growing more and more everyday. He is becoming quite the
little stinker. He is knowing more and more how to throw a temper
tantrum. Throwing himself on the floor when he is upset and screeching
when he doesn’t get his way. Not fun for mom and dad. His love for
reading books and throwing balls continues. He is starting to throw with
his left hand more and more so I am hoping that he will not be left
handed. He loves watching his brother Owen throw the ball against the
wall and retrieving it and has copied him by standing on our bed and throwing
the ball again the headboard. Super smart kid! He is learning more
and more words. He doesn't seem to be saying much besides mama, dada, no,
dog and now hot. But he does understand alot such as take off your coat
or put on your shoes and socks or it time for a tubby or do you want to go to
bed? He is starting to use No against us. Like if throws food at the dog,
which happens often when he is done with dinner, we say NO and he will turn to
us and say NO with the same tone. Its hilarious but we try not to laugh
and try to get serious about it. Last night he even got a spanking for
doing it but it really didn't seem to bother him. We might have a
stubborn one on our hands.
At 18 Months crew is starting to talk like crazy. The words aren't
quite there but he is finally making tons of noises trying to talk. Some
of the new words lately include bubbles, tractor, ..... His new trick is
we will read Goodnight Moon and he will say the "Hush" part.
His four molars are fully in now and I don't dare to put my finger in there to
check in any other teeth are on their way in. We are playing outside when
the weather allows for it and Crew loves it. If we get him out of the car
we can't put him down in the garage because he wants to stay outside and play and
will throw a fit if we try to go inside.
He is becoming more active with his older age when means more bumps and
bruises. He had his 18 month pictures
scheduled in April but we had to reschedule for May because his face was so
scratched up with multiple falls that Photoshop couldn’t even save us. Crew ended the month with his fourth haircut
and same ole, same ole. As soon as we
walked into the shop and Crew heard Leanne say hi, he started to cry and cried
through the whole thing. Crew is also
really starting to test us out with discipline.
He will listen to me when I say NO and will often sit down in shame but
there are times I will tell him NO then he will turn to me and say NO and try
to hit me. Its crazy how fast they learn
that stuff. I have a feeling the
upcoming months will be a war of wills.
18 month check up (April 25, 2016): 28.6 lbs and 34 inches (90%)
