Shakespear Shuffle

18 months

Hunter turned 18 months last Wednesday. I think we are going to start celebrating their half birthdays. Not much now, maybe just a special treat or something, but when they're older maybe they can have their friend party in the summer. It's fun to be able to do something outside and it's nice to get presents not so close after Christmas.

Some favorites about the Bug...

1. He is all boy-loves trucks, rocks, cars, crashing, jumping, bugs etc. One night he was almost asleep while I was rocking him and when I got up to put him down he mumbled 'cars, rock, bus' so I guess we know what he dreams about at night

2. He likes to make funny faces for us, usually his eyebrows go up high and his mouth shapes into an 'O'

3. He loves to eat strawberries, apples, steamed veggies, cookies and anything anyone else is eating. He is the biggest scrounger ever! No matter how much he has eaten, if anyone else is eating then you will hear 'bite, bite!!' until he gets some

4. He loves books, right now some favorites are 'Go, Dog, Go' and 'Big Bad Bunny'

5. He thinks he is the biggest boy ever and tries to mimic everything Hyrum does and often succeeds at it

6. He loves being tickled, or thrown around by Daddy bear and if he really likes it he will say 'agin, agin, agin' (again) until you're exhausted

7. He loves to go outside and down in the basement to play

8. He gets so excited about everything, even things we do every day like see a truck drive by the house

9. He has so many words! He is starting to string some of them together like saying 'My truck', 'Doggie goes ruff ruff', 'Poop bum' ;-) and 'Big book.' Some of my favorite words he uses are skunk (kunck), 'shunshine', pickle, honk (gonk) and any word that ends in an 'S' sound like mouse, house, cars, bus because he really emphasizes the ssssss.

10. He LOVES to give hugs and still lets us cuddle him before and after he goes to sleep
