Davis at 18 months

Yes, he's still routinely wearing this little bowl on his head as a hat. It's my favorite.

Our adorable Davis turned 18 months! He's in nursery now and so far he LOVES it. We knew he would. Toys, friends, snacks- it's basically heaven for him.

At 18 months he's more of a daddy's boy than ever before. He goes nuts when he sees his dad, and gets so so sad every time dad leaves for work. He pretty much insists that Ben put him to bed at night. He loves his mommy...until dad is in the room and then mom is not so popular.

 He's running all over the place and talking a lot now! He's starting to say lots of words and clearly understands the things we are saying to him. He's little comedian and likes to tease or do little "bits". He asks for a kiss by smacking his lips, and then mostly just offers you his forehead or cheek to kiss. He also sometimes smacks me so that he can show me "soft". We are working on the not-hitting part of that game and just being soft. He knows what soft means, and does "soft" well, but also thinks it's funny to hit people. I think he likes the contrast? Work in progress.

At his appointment he was 26 pounds (75th percentile) and 32 inches (35th percentile). So there's that from the baby who wasn't even on the growth chart! I knew he'd catch up. He's starting to eat with a fork and spoon, like the big boys. He desperately wants to be big like them and do what they are doing. He has hauled the little balance bike or the boys scooters out of the garage to try to ride them. He always puts on one of their helmets first- he knows the rules! He also frequently dons a little backpack as the kids are getting ready for school. He just always wants to be part of the fun!
