His personality has been consistent all along- easy going, funny, always smiling and laughing, and giving us this mischievous smile. He's very busy. He doesn't sit still. He is always doing something. And while he's doing something, he's babbling. He is such a talker! Most people that are around him say he's very advanced for his age with the number of words he knows and can say. He's now starting to repeat things easily and I can honestly say, he learns a new word every day! We love the way he says turtle- it's our favorite.
He cracks me up on a daily basis, but also finds a way to frustrate me on a daily basis. He is much more well behaved around David, and when I get home, all hell breaks loose. He will immediately start getting into something that he didn't touch the entire day with David. Just trying to get my attention, I suppose. He has taught me so much patience already. (I know I still have a looooong way to go though!)
He's very social. He says hi to everybody! He has this flirty, drawn out "hiiiii" that I will never forget the sound of.
He loves sports. You name it- hockey, baseball, football, basketball, soccer, golf. He can name them all on tv and know what equipment goes with what! He loves throwing things- at us, at the wall, at anything. He has a pretty good arm, I do admit!
He loves two different movies- Cars 2 and Finding Nemo. He will also watch tv shows briefly that are on this specific baby channel.
He loves trucks and cars. If we ask him if he wants to go in the car, he comes rushing up to us with his arms up high to pick him up, saying vroom vroom.
He loves dance parties. If he hears music, he usually starts dancing. Mumford and Sons is his favorite band. (You can tell he hangs out with his daddy all day.)
He loves his doggies. He is usually instigating Miley and laying on Morgan. He throws their balls/toys around to get them to play with him. He often keeps tabs on where they are.
He runs away from us when we ask him to change his diaper or clothes. We pretty much have to chase him down. Still unsure why he would choose to sit in a dirty diaper?!
He has a very consistent schedule throughout the day. Sleeps 12-13 hours straight. Wakes up babbling random words in the happiest, little voice. He is his most fun in the morning. He still gets his gourmet breakfast of omelettes, hashbrowns, fruit, etc. He plays and plays until naptime around 1030. He usually sleeps a few hours, and has lunch around 1. We are in a transitional phase with his naps. Some days he skips the afternoon nap (if he slept longer in morning), but most days, he still needs that shorter nap in the afternoon, or else we pay for it! He is very obvious when he is tired, and he usually lets us know by just saying "night night" or "playroom" (meaning he wants to go upstairs).
He eats really well. His favorite foods are buttered noodles, apples/apple juice, edamame, scrambled eggs, and cheese! Can't think of any foods he won't eat. He's starting to use a fork and spoon some of the time. When he becomes disinterested in eating any more food, he starts throwing it. Thankfully, his two doggies are right there and ready to lick it up.
He got a good report at his 18th month checkup and continues to be tall and skinny! I will have to find the papers to record his official stats. Height was around 80% and weight in the 30%s.
"You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this"
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this"
Love the lyrics to this country song by Trace Adkins. Been hearing this song on the radio a lot lately. They really put things in perspective and remind me to soak it all in, because Nico is growing up TOO fast! I love this little boy with all of my heart.
