18-24 months



- in the last few months has cycled through being obsessed with first lion king, then Cars, then Peter Pan, then Nemo, then Mulan and the land before time. And when I say obsessed I mean he will watch the movie and as soon as it's over says 'again?'. The kid would watch movies/TV all day long if I let him.
- does a look away/eye roll and we all laugh so hard 
- loves reading books but usually just likes to turn the pages quickly and move on to the next book.
- best friends and worst enemies with Polly
- loves putting anything in to cracks or shoving them behind something
- loves cars, 
- possessive of mom's things like the diaper bag, phone, the remote control... They are Moms and no one else not even dad can hold them.
- loves rolling balls off the edges of things
- still has binky and mr frog. Supposed to be only when in his crib, but mom can be a push over at times
- has added some new vocabulary: alligator, cooper, cole, Blake, nammy, papa's house, treat, sucker, calls a slide a 'weee' , calls Polly 'Bubby', says oh nooo, daddy get you, bye bye, more, apple, baby, milk usually followed by water, bath, go dog go, bicycle, truck, tree, big, circle, triangle, yellow, and much more... We are shocked when he suddenly says news things every day.
- throws everything! Loves rocks and cars.
- doesn't quite grasp the whole "baby sister" concept but points to his tummy and moms tummy when asked where she is.
- picky eater and makes a "cuck" gross out sound when we try to get him to try something 
- does really well in nursery and doesn't cry at all anymore. The first 6 weeks were tough
- has mastered the fake whine/cry
- takes one 2 hr nap and has been staying up later (8-8:30) at night. 
- says "yay big boy" after he throws mr and binky into his crib
- turns off the lights for bedtime
- obsessed with taking "bass" (baths) but HATES soap, bubbles or water on his head. He usually flails his arms and legs trying to soak mom/dad as much as possible when he has to get washed.
- loves to be held rather than walk by himself.
- loves playing with the choo choo at Barnes and Noble
- folds his arms for prayers but doesn't yet help us say them
