Oh my GOSH! How can you be 18 months old already? That is such a big milestone. It is funny how much can change in a month. I was just re-reading the last post and started laughing about the biting and kicking. It was all so new then..... Somehow we've adapted as it has become a part of daily life. Usually only the changing table now, though. :-)
Your vocab still hasn't changed much - you're stubborn and it's funny. We ask "Can you say CUP" and you nod. But you are getting much better at communicating your wants and needs. Just the other night you and I were on the couch rolling around (one of your favorite activities) and all of sudden you stopped and said - clear as day - "Bath?" You knew it was time to go upstairs. Truth be told, I was actually going to skip the bath that night, but since you asked up we went.
You also know when you're ready for bed now. We no longer sit in the rocker - instead we pull your pink blanket down on the floor and we read a little, play a little...and now you point to your crib when you're ready to lie down. It's so easy!
Nana arrives tonight. She is staying with you this weekend because Daddy and I have to go to Salt Lake City for work. So tonight - in honor of your "half" birthday - we are having super special monkey cupcakes from Whole Foods. Your Mama sure must love you.
