18 Months Old

Will is 18 months old today!  All I can say is I am continuously surprised at how funny, smart, loving, fearless, entertaining and ALL BOY he really is!  We've had an amazing 18 months and like always I'm amazed its gone by so quickly.  We've really watched him turn into a little boy in the last 6 months.  Here is a little update on Will's development:

• Will is talking quite a lot - sometimes we understand...and sometimes we just don't!  
  
• He loves his puppy dogs and won't even consider going upstairs without calling them to go with him.  He can say Murray pretty well and Abby is "Boppy".    
  
• He loves Baboons (balloons) and bubbles and really would rather play with the telephone, TV, remotes, bowls, and spoons as much as his toys.  
  
• Will also loves my hairbrush and any time I pick it up he'll say "bruh".  Good thing I have a couple since they tend to be all over the house after I let him have one.  
  
• We're working on completing words.  Right now most words are only the first part - like bruh, spoo (spoon), bow (bowl), etc.  
  
• Will loves all music and is in a complete trance when music comes on the TV.  He is already learning to tune me out (just like his dad!)
  
• He wants to be outside all the time!  Whether it is just running around the backyard with the pups, swinging in his swing, or going to the park...he is just happy outside!
• Will now has all his 1 year molars in and when he smiles you see a lot of teeth!  He isn't the biggest fan of me brushing them, but he thinks he does an excellent job on his own!
• Stats from the doctor:  96% in height, 55% in weight, said everything looks excellent!  They predict our little man will some day be over 6ft tall!  That is hard to believe!

I could go on and on, but that tells you a little bit about our funny guy!

We've spent the day like most lazy Sundays.  One highlight for Will was finally getting to play in the sandbox the Easter Bunny brought him!  The weather finally cooperated enough for us to set it up.  Here are a few pictures:

Helping Dad fill it with sand!!

Will you just let me play, Mom?  

Cool!  Look at that fall on my leg!

Protesting coming in for lunch.   He would have stayed out there all day!

Will, 

We love you so much and have so much fun with you!  You have changed our lives in so many ways and made us better people!  Your smile and giggles take away all of our stresses and we just love being with you!  We can't wait for you to be a big brother - we know you will be the best!  

We love you, 

Mommy and Daddy
