Johnny has hit that 18 month milestone and I still cannot believe it is here. Life flies by so fast these days and I am really trying to take in as much as I can. I race home after work instead of going to the gym so that I can get the sweetest hug and smile from my boy and play with him and find out what I missed during the day while at work. I call his special hug that he gives me his "I love you hug" because he lays his head on my right shoulder and give me a squeeze and I think that is his way of telling me that he missed me. I live for it.
At this point he is still at home with my mom during the day and is really trying to talk more and more. He recently went to visit his Nonni, Papa and Anthony and had a great time hanging with them while we went to Napa. He was so good for his Nonni and slept great with her and also ate really well. Too bad when he came home he stopped eating good. These days it is hard to get 3 good meals out of him.
What Johnny is like at 18 months
- Ready for his 3rd haircut. Still has a great head of blond hair with his little cowlick. Looks like it might be getting some brown strands as well now.
- Sleeps in our bed and pretty much sleeps through the night
- Stopped his obsession with muffins and cheese and doesn't really like to eat breakfast anymore
- Favorite foods are pasta, pears, satsumas, raisins, yogurt
- Still takes about 3 milk bottles a day
- Favorite toys are balls, bats, golf club, cars, drum sticks and books
- Favorite TV show is Dinosaur Train and he yells "all aboard" when it comes on
- Loves to play with older kids and lets little girls carry him around
- Obsessed with playing with his toothbrushes and trying to brush his teeth which he sort of does on his own
- Love the park, outdoors, driving my car in the garage and anything with a steering wheel
- Hating his diaper changed again
- Struggling to get words out but you can hear him say Mama, Dada, bird, ball, hot,
- Can show you his eyes, belly button, ears, teeth, tongue and nose which he ends up picking
- Loves pointing to birds, airplanes, cars, balls, and really anything so you tell him what he is pointing at
All around a very happy and easy going guy who I can't get enough of these days.
