I can hardly believe this handsome boy is 18 months! He has definitely lost all his baby-ness and is full on toddler now. He has developed and changed so much these last few months. At his check up, he weighed 23 lbs- 25%ile and was 32 inches- 60%ile. That "cheese" face!
These kids... so hilarious!
This is his first day in nursery. He made it through about half the time and then realized mom wasn't around and started screaming. Seriously, the cutest little man.
He is really good at eating with a fork, and tries to use a spoon. His favorite foods are noodles (any kind), eggs, berries, crackers/chips, peas and ketchup. Seriously he loves the stuff.
He is also my naughtiest kid by far. I don't know if it's because I don't follow him around like I did with Bridgette (no time for that!) or if he is just more mischievous. He came running to me with a black marker in his hand saying "uh-oh" because he had bit off the tip. It was a shock to see his mouth!
His obsession with toilets has continued, but now he likes the potty brush. I found him in here splashing so much the bowl was almost empty and the entire floor covered with water. Time to clean!
He is a great sleeper at night, sleeping from about 6:30pm-6:00am. We have transitioned from 2 naps a day to one longer nap in the afternoon. It has made my life much easier!
With Bridgette away at school every morning, these two have become great friends. We are still working on their love/hate relationship with hitting and stealing toys, but they do love each other. It is a special treat for Harrison when Penny invites him to play in her bed with her beloved snuggles.
Harrison asks Penny to hold his hand now when we walk back to the car after dropping Bridgette off. It is seriously the sweetest thing!!
Harrison loves to read books. I have found him several times reading in the big chair in the girls' room. It is a big relief to find him reading instead of eating crayons and markers. He was saying "cheese" for me but just couldn't look away from his book, haha. His favorite books are Trucks, the Farm book (with tractors), Planes, Toot Toot Beep Beep, and Spot. If I try to read him a different book he pushes it away and says no. Such a silly car and truck obsessed boy!!
He loves playing outside. He is usually carrying around a shovel, marching around in the bushes and dirt. He loves being adventurous and playing on the playground by himself.
His has learned so many words as well. He can say yea, no, hi, ni-ni (night night), wa wa (water), bubble, a-ple (apple), pear, cracka (cracker), chip, ipes (grapes), peas, go gurt(yogurt), hot, melmo (Elmo), ball, hoop, guk (truck), car, bus, poo-poo, whoa, bear (his snuggle), book, up (when he wants to climb up or me pick him up), help, eye, boot (loves his rainboots), keys, guckle (buckle), uh-oh (which he often combines for a sentence), mama, DAD, Bi-det (Bridgette)(still working on Penny). He also does most animal sounds. He picks up so many new words, it is hard to keep up.
We absolutely love our little boy and seeing how completely different he is from the girls. It is amazing to watch him drive cars around everywhere and make firetruck sounds all day. He did not pick that up from the girls!
