Growing up!

Everyday I have the priveledge of watching my little boy grow up and accomplish new and amazing things! I have realized this more and more lately.

He still doesn't say many words but he will repeat them. He says: bathtub, backpack, Rascal, Mama, Dada, kissing, and sings twinkle twinkle.

He also can do the hand motions for head shoulders knees and toes, twinkle twinkle, itsy bitsy spider, if your happy and you know it, and patty cake. I'm glad I'm not just singing for my health. But he is a great audience and claps and cheers when I'm done. ALthough, maybe i should clap and cheer for him for having to listen to me sing.

He has accomplished climbing up the cube slide and sliding down, he lifts himself up and through the circles in the side too. I just sat watching as he kept trying and trying and trying and he finally did it. He can also go down the other slide I have by himself. I of course still spot him as I'm afraid he will fall off onto the concrete.

His most recent accomplishment has been using a big person fork for eating dinner. I was giving him a toddler fork, but he does a lot better with an adult fork. I knew he could do it, but we don't always practice it. After all fingers work A LOT better!

I can't believe he will be 18 months soon and all that he has accomplished and endured in his short little life. I'm glad I've been with him everyday to be able to enjoy the wonders of raising a child!
