Right now, you are 18 months old and we all adore you.
Right now, you are having a language explosion. You are saying new words every day. A few of your favorites are: bubble, baby, mama, dadda, Megan (Muh), brother, birdy (anything that flies - birds, planes, bugs), bye-bye, hi, tutu, GO!, and bo (blow). You really understand a lot of what we say to you, and it is fun to see you learning more and more words.
Right now, you love to dress up. You wear the tutu I made you for Halloween all day, every day. You love to wear sunglasses. You bring me hats and headbands to help you with. You wrap blankets around you like capes. You put your shoes on over your footy-pajamas.
Right now, you wake up waaaaaay too early. I long for the days that my alarm wakes me up at 6:30. But you are so happy when you get up. You hit the ground running, ready to play.
Right now, you have so much energy! You love to climb on things. You climb up behind the couch and flip over the front and slide down. Over and over. You climb the entertainment center. Yesterday I took the knobs off the entertainment center cupboard doors because you open them and use the cupboards to give you a boost so you can climb up to the shelf where the TV is. You like to get up there to give the people on TV kisses, but I was afraid you would pull it down on top of yourself.
Right now, you are afraid of elevators. Your whole body tenses up, and you say "Bye-bye-bye-bye" because you want to get OFF!
Right now, you shower people with kisses and hugs. Me, daddy, Megan and Jared, people at church, and if we don't watch closely, random strangers. You have no stranger anxiety. You love to wave and jabber at people.
Right now, you think that you should kneel down, fold your arms, bow your head, and shriek at the top of your lungs during prayers.
