18 Months OLD!


Today my baby is 18 months old!  I can't believe how fast the last year and a half has gone.  James is such a sweet and wonderful toddler.  I still can't believe sometimes that he is a toddler.  I still want him to be my baby :(  
  • James favorite new word is "NO" he will say it emphatically or consecutively such as "no, no, no, no, no" 
  • Yes, James still has his pacifier.  I know it's getting about time to get rid of it, but it's so hard!
  • James still goes to sleep wrapped up in his swaddle blankets and his 'night 'nights (one of his many flannel blankets)  He usually goes to sleep really well for us.  Rarely does he have any trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.  He usually sleeps in till 9am on the days we don't have to be up.
  • James still takes a 3 hour nap usually after lunch until around 3
  • James loves his new daycare, and cries and runs around frantically when it's time to leave.  
  • James is not a very cuddly child.  He is always on the move, and so if I am ever offered a hug or a kiss, I cherish it.  Although, be aware, James will only kiss on the mouth, and will search your face until he finds it
  • I haven't officially had James weighed lately, but he is around 29lbs.  He is tall and slender.  He still has blonde curly hair, with a tinge of red.  His eyes have morphed into a crazy blue / green color. He has pale skin, just like his mama.
  • His favorite foods are: Chickens (chicken nuggets), easy mac, peaches and pears, BANANAS, french toast sticks, apple juice, orange juice, Coo Coos (cookies), and apple sauce. 
  • James loves to get into everything.  He loves to take things out of one place, and put them in another.  For example, yesterday I found a spoon in my boot.
  • James loves his bath. This is a new development, as he HATED them for a while.  I bought him new ducks for Christmas, and now if I say bath, he RUNS to the bathroom door.
  • "MooMoo" is James word for movies, and he LOVES them.  We have a lot of my old Disney movies as well as new ones we have accumulated.  He loves them all.  His Favorites are Monsters Inc. and the Jungle Book.  
  • James love to dance to music, but sadly has no rhythm, just like his mama
  • Temper Tantrums have begun, complete with head banging, slapping, and throwing himself onto the floor.  It's kinda comical.
James is a beautiful, sweet little boy that is growing up WAY too fast for this mama.  I just hope the next year and a half go a little slower! 

Here are some more pictures from Christmas!
