Happy 18 Months Christopher!

Well big boy, you are now one and a half year old! You continually amaze me and Daddy, as well as others around you! You recently entered a new phase of "snuggling" with blanket, "Cook-Cook" and Snoopy especially in bed with Mommy and Daddy. You love giving hugs and kisses too! And you are a chatty little guy, saying new phrases like "let's go" and "miss you" everyday. Your favorite activity this summer is playing with puzzles, and they have taught you a lot! You know all your shapes, colors, numbers and letters. Favorite past times are going on morning outings with Mommy, like the petting farm, the park, and the library. You really like to climb, swing and slide. You have perfected (almost) the art of sharing, and like playing with "friends". When you play in your room, you always put on some "mucis", ya gotta have those tunes! Just today Daddy and I heard you singing "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star" all by yourself. You have a great appetite, and lately you want oatmeal for breakfast, lunch and dinner (even if its just to use a spoon by yourself). Sometimes you play by yourself for up to 45 minutes; you are such a big kid. Things I catch you doing in your room: coloring, stacking blocks, puzzles, playing pretend, or just sitting and looking at books. Lately naps and bedtime are a breeze. You love getting cozy in your crib, sometimes you even ask for a nap! You are truly a joy, and are growing into a sweet little boy. You tell us everyday about the baby and that you are going to be a "bwrada". And what a great big brother you'll be!
