Steven at 18 Months

*Catch up post 18 months, November 2012

Favorite Things:
Interested in the little potty we got you, although mommy made the mistake of letting you lose with no diaper after you "tried" on the potty and you peed on the couch! (You thought that was so funny.)

Started playing "hide seek" with daddy although you aren't very good at finding hiding spots, or waiting to be found...you jump out as soon as daddy comes for you! You'll go to the same hiding spot over and over too. But its still so cute!

Talking on any kind of phone you can find. Your pretend conversations usually go like this "hi mommy. bye bye luv you." :)

New Tricks/skills:
Going up and down the steps on your own. You have done this various ways (sitting down, scooting, turning around, etc) before but this month you mastered actually walking down the steps holding onto the handrail. You're getting so big!
You're coordination is improving this month. You've definitely mastered throwing a ball. Its pretty impressive how well you can throw for being so little. You loved throwing the ball outside with your grandparents dog, Daisy.
 

 
You're also getting really good at kicking a ball. We have a little sports player on our hands!
Vocabulary:
You're getting pretty good at counting. At the begining of the month you were counting from 2 to 7 pretty well but now you can count 1 to 10 and get all the numbers! You're so smart!

You say a lot of 2 word phrases this mont and even some 3 word phrases such as "please milk daddy" "please more milk".

You are such a polite boy! You always say please and thank you when we remind you and almost always remember yourself! You'll say them together often too, "thank you, welcome" ha ha!

Big Events this Month:
You're half birthday! It seems like it came so soon! Slow down!

This month you got your first haircut! You had the cutest little curls growing in the back but after more than 1 person called it a "mullet", I knew it had to go. You were not a fan of getting your hair cut. But you did pretty well. You sat still for the most part. And a sucker at the end definitly helped!


 

This month your uncle Tim came back in town from Australia. You were wary of him at first but quickly warmed up to him and even learned his name really quickly. He is great with you and I'm so glad you are able to spend some time with him while he's back in town!




This month was also Thanksgiving. We had a great time celebrating with your extended family at the Riegerix's. Here are the 3 generations of Steven Riegerixs!
 
We also got to celebrate with the Goodens. Your grandparents moved this month which you had no problem adjusting to. You love their new place and have already discovered all the nooks and crannies (and trouble) you can get into.
 
This is a picture of us at Thanksgiving dinner. You  might notice you aren't at the table. You will hardly sit still for dinner anymore. Too busy!


Family pic! Yes we had to hold you down to get you to stay. LOL
Love my boy!
