18 months

It's crazy to think our "baby" is now closer to 2 than 1. He's all boy; into everything and a little rough, but also a total mama's boy and the best little snuggler. He's not talking yet so the lack of communication leads to more temper tantrums than not, but we're working on that. He loves to play kitchen ("cook"), dance, go on walks/explore, and read books. He thinks the world of his big sister, Lill, and simply wants to do whatever she's doing (or play the game where she copies what he does...that's hilarious!). The sound of an airplane will stop him dead in his tracks, looking up and pointing at the sky to find it, and every Wednesday morning is spent watching (stalking) the garbage and recycling trucks in the neighborhood. His favorite foods are pizza, pot-stickers and fruit. He hates breakfast but will out-eat any of us come dinner. His favorite movies are Frozen and Rio and he's recently discovered the IPad and all the fun games to explore. He loves the bath and playing in the water but will freak out the second water is poured on his head/hair is washed. He hates being told no but immediately wants to hug and be held after being yelled at, so it's hard to stay mad at that sweet face for long :-) 

Happy 1.5 years, little Bubs. We love you!
