18-Months-Old

I can not believe you are 18-months-old today and before long you will be 2.
It seems totally unimaginable.
You are the joy of our lives and we could not have been given a greater blessing.



What you are up to these days:

• You weigh approximately 25lbs
  
• You are wearing mostly 18 month clothes, but still some 12 months
  
• You are OBSESSED with golf and must have a club in your hands at all times. We have them in the car, we take them to the grocery store, the fabric store, to lunch with friends, and you even cry for them as soon as you wake up in the mornings. You have also discovered that your daddy's clubs are more fun to play with, but they have to stay outside.
• You love balls of any kind
• You LOVE to be outside and cry when you have to come inside
• You are a sweets eater and we really have to watch you. I think you would eat suckers, cookies, and animal crackers all day.
• Your newest words are juice, Reed, Gigi, wait, ball, and you still say Ma all day long!
• You love to drink from a straw, especially restaurant cups
  
• Every time Aunt Em tries to get you to say her name you just look at her and laugh. We know you can say it, but you just want to aggravate her
• You have started giving the best hugs with your little arms around our necks, but you also have learned that a good hug melts your mommy and daddy when you get into trouble
• You are such a friendly little thing and we love that about you
