Almost 18 Months

This goofy guy is almost 18 months!! He loves to run and play all day long!!! He has been wanting to play outside a lot lately. He wants me to carry him down the stairs even though he knows how to go down the stairs. He likes to feed himself and has a hard time letting Mom or Dad feed him. He loves baths. He says mama, dadee, thank you, ba-ba, kitty,ohhhhhh, and ball. He does a great job of pointing and letting me know what he wants. When we get him out of bed he directs us to pick up each of his blankets and animals that are in his bed to carry out of the room with him. He loves bottles and will ask for them throughout the day. We are trying to just give him a bottle in the evening before bed. His bottle days will be over when he is 18 months and I think he will have a hard time with this. Church has been hard for this guy. He will last sitting semi-quietly throughout sacrament meeting, but one of us will spend most of the next two class hours out in the hall. He takes one nap a day and goes down around 11:30am. He is very loud. He loves to scream and carry on. He does this when he is happy and when he is not so happy. He loves playing with his brother. He is enjoying playing with his sister, though at times they don’t always agree.

My favorite thing right now with Karter is that he will come to me at anytime of the day and take me by the hand. He points and lets me know that we must pick up a fluffy blanket and a book
and directs me to the chair where we will seat. He cuddles up and I wrap him in the blanket. We rock in the chair and I will read to him. I just love this time with my goofy guy!
