Eighteen Months Old

It's official - Adam is a year and a half! It's so amazing to think about how much he has changed from month to month. Here are the highlights at eighteen months:

  • Adam babbles a ton, but only says a handful of words. He loves animals and can growl like a tiger or moo like a cow. He also says "mowmow" (lawn mower), "yeah", "yes", "brrr", "hot", "no", and can say "mama", "dada", and "Chase" but he does not do it very frequently. He can communicate very well for having such a limited vocabulary. At night, he will cough to let us know he is thirsty.
  • He has sixteen teeth and is still drooling a bit. I'm guessing he might get his two-year molars a little early since he seems to have gotten all his teeth early. We will be so excited when all of his teeth are in.
  • Adam is getting more adventurous with what he will eat. He even likes guacamole and pickles.
  • His personality is really showing through. He loves to laugh and loves when we laugh at him. He can be quite the ham around us, but is much more reserved in larger groups or around people he doesn't know as well. He is also very independent. He wants to do so many things by himself (put on shoes, pick out clothes, push the stroller, etc) although he is still a mama's boy without a doubt!
  • His favorite toys are his lawn mower, his dump truck, and cars (big and small). He loves pretending to drive our cars. His favorite book is Curious George and we read it multiple times a day.
  • Adam now has a lovey, a little baby doll. He loves to hold the doll while we read books. He gives it lots of hugs and kisses and he even shares snacks with it. He is also a lot more affectionate with us, which we love. He gives hugs and kisses more often, and blows lots of kisses too.

Here's a little sampling of some of Adam's words:
