March and April of 2016 (17 and 18 months)




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%)
