Feels like a bit of a milestone, 18 months! You've changed incredibly over the last 30 days or so too, you're quite a different child! Still, obviously, incredibly cute, sweet and loving (which you get from your mother, no doubt) but you're walking, almost running everywhere, you're talking ninteen to the dozen and interacting on a whole new level.
One of my favourite things you're doing at the moment is looking in wonder at the fact that you can sometimes walk outside. Granted it hasn't been as often as it should with the weather having rained continually for the last month, but on the odd occasion it stops and we are out you are never happier than being allowed to walk along holding mummy's hand. I love it.
Favourite words this month are still 'errow' and 'buh bye' (the latter you now like to shout while standing on the sofa waving to Daddy and Dylan as they leave for work and school respectively in the mornings), and shouting 'TWO!' every time someone says 'One'! Whenever you want to know what something is you say 'Sat?' 'Sat'? (what's that) and you still enjoy shouting DAD and DAN at the top of your voice if you want them for something.
We started back at Baby Music classes a couple of weeks ago and the break has not diminished your love for it. This time we've learned 'Ring a Ring of Roses' and you think this is the absolute bees knees, practising non stop at home by turning yourself in circles singing 'row row' and then falling down and laughing.
You have been going to the daycare at the gym 3 mornings a week for an hour or so and thoroughly enjoy playing with all the other little kids, especially a little boy called 'CJ' who has become your big friend there. The interaction is good for you though, and you come home happy and exhausted ready for your nap afterwards.
Napping is consistently around 2 hrs every day and has just moved back to noon-ish which is good, means you're better rested in the afternoon when you wake up (and happier, not that you were particularly unhappy anyway!)
Yesterday we took you down to the new playroom for the first time and you thought it was Christmas all over again. You couldn't quite believe the amount of toys and things to do that were down there. Favourites were a ball tower thing and Dylans electronic drum kit (groan). As of tomorrow you and me will spend most of our time down there so you'll have plenty of opportunity to explore all the new things.
Love you little man
