Our little Zacky Wacky is now 18 months old. (well a few weeks ago)
Here are some things about Zack at 18 months...
He weighs 26 pounds and is 33 1/2 inches tall. So 30% in weight and 70% in height.
Zack is now going to nursery (HOORAY!) and could care less if we left him there all week.
Zackery is the happiest kid I have ever seen. Except when i'm trying to do the dishes.
He is learning to count, but only likes to say 2, 3 and were working on 4.
We are also learning to say the ABC's.
His best friends right now are his stuffed Tiger, his baby doll, his snuggly dog and 1 stuffed giraffe in particular. I think he has about 10 different giraffe's. At nap time and bedtime he needs all four of these guys cuddling with him.
Zack is beginning to put words together. The other night he asked where Kevin was and I told him Daddy went bye bye and he said "Daddy Bye" and then nodded his head that he was correct like he always does.
His favorite show to watch right now is "Mouse" or Mickey Mouse. We are going to Disneyland in February so I thought I should introduce him to the Disney characters. Little did I know Mouse would totally replace Elmo. SWEET!
Zack has become a very picky eater over the last few months but i'm learning how to sneak good foods into things that he already will eat.
The only 2 people he will talk to on the phone are my grandma and Kevin. I can see why he would talk to Kevin, but my grandma? I guess we both have a soft spot for her. Zack will take the phone (on speakerphone) and hold it on his shoulder and walk around the house and just yak and yak. Sometimes he forgets and leaves the phone on the couch with daddy wondering what happened.
Zack has always been chatty but just recently he just jabbers and jabbers away and we aren't sure what he is saying. We'll say "really?" or "no way!" and he just nods as if to say "you better believe it"
My favorite thing that he does these days is he will walk into the room and say "Hi Mamma or Hi Daddy"
We are working on colors right now. The only color he will say is blue and boy does he know the color blue! I can't wait until he knows another color. He points out blue everywhere we go and wont stop telling me about it until I assure him that he is right, it is blue.
Something funny he is starting to do is associate people with other people. For example: if we talk about Grandpa he will say in his own way "Grandma? Emily? Bernie? Kitty?" and I'll say "yep they are all at Grandpa's house" and he will nod his head with approval.
On Sunday on our way to church we had to go pick something up from someone and we didn't take the usual way. Zack knew we were going to church and started growling in the backseat because we weren't going the right way. It baffles me that he knows that!
Enough about my kid, thanks for letting me brag.
Love you baby!
