Tyson: 18 months

What a cute little boy.  This step has been harder for me than even the 1 year mark.  Not sure why but he's just changed still so much and growing into more of a little boy every day.  He's silly and cranky and just got a sweet personality.

Here's a few memories of what he's been up to these 15-18 months of life:
(Nov 9, 2014 - Feb 9, 2015)

• Now listening and acting on what we say - like to go get a toy or put something in trash
• Enjoying his busy board and quiet stuff at church
• Loves the new toys he got in October, and at Christmas
• Loves blow up outdoor decorations (the Christmas ones on display)
• Before Christmas he loved the songs Frosty the Snowman and Head Shoulders Knees and Toes and sometimes does the actions, but without fail says "again" after the song ends
• Then he was introduced to Santa dancing and Jingle Bell Rock - this is still his daily requested song and we are in February ;)
• Can imitate ducks flying by putting arms behind him, after seeing ducks in Nov/Dec
• At 16 months he was starting to really repeat words and saying so much more ... he parrots one thing from our sentence - like the one he shouldn't say - stupid, silly, etc. ....  He's up to saying over 200 words now at 18 months
• Likes to mix up mama and dada and call us the wrong ones
• Had a short time where he'd cry when Dada would get out of the drivers seat, thinking he was not going to remember to get him out of his carseat
• Loves honey (his lamb) and money (Monkey)
• Lines up things, like cars, blocks and pretends to count them (thanks mama!)
• Saying yellow, blue and getting a little bit more about colors (teaching paid off!)
• Has shortened the snowman song to "tall tall tall, small small small"
• Loves dancing - has gone from jump dancing to swaying and shaking his bum to side to side down the hall while holding mamas hand dancing
• When asked to sing he sings "na na na woo" a song he and mama made up
• His facial expressions have really grown with scowls and lots of eyebrow action
• Says "grandma ooo" and shimmys in his high chair - or also says enchilada and does that
• Has caught on to some phrases - come here, help you, this way, pulls at our clothes to get up or move somewhere, also a phrase he learned from baba mm mm mm delicious
• Learning Star Wars and Mario characters (thanks Daddy!)
• When tooting he laughs or now says eww gross (thanks Daddy)
• Fills the cars up with gas and says glug glug glug ahhh
• Loves the Christmas tree, and really understood opening presents at Christmas this year and wanted to open all
• TEETH: all 4 molar are almost in, mandibular right S, almost in or coming partially B, I and M - so basically 16 are in or almost in
• Loves his stuffed animals, books, push and ride, car tower, magnadoodle, starting to like Legos
• Says goodnight / bye to each of his toys when he leaves the room or goes night night
• Starting to understand matching "it is the same / match" with minion memory and his church quiet book
• Food: Loves pretzel sticks, life cereal, yogurt, cookies, eggs and peppers, cheese, green bean casserole, cooked carrots in stuff, oranges/tangerines, but not to many other fruits/veggies
• Sings peanut butter and jelly song
• Pees on cue in the tub after bathing
• Stats on 2/9/15 --- 24 lbs. 10 oz. 35th Percentile; 32 3/4 inches tall 60th Percentile
