Rhys 18 mo.

He loves to say prayer. He folds his arms reverently, stands still till its done, and can usually be heard mumbling some "words" under his breath. Its very sweet.

His words include: doggy, koda (doda), banana (nana), apple (appo), juice, lunch (munch), breakfast (breckie), milk (moke), ready go (deady, do), alright, hi, ba bye, no koda, stay koda, more, please, there it is (dere is is), drink, snack (nack), duckie, Nemo (meemo), cheese, up, out, ball, truck, uh oh, that (dat), belly button (bee bo), Elmo (memo), choo choo, and pretty much just tries to mimic whatever we are saying. Plus all his animal noises: duck, dog, cow, sheep, snake, monkey, donkey, cat, lion, ect.
He loves to stick his tongue out.... and still drools.... a lot!

Still loves all fruit and hates most veggies, especially all the green ones. His favorite right now is apples and pomegranets, but maybe thats all I'm eating these days too.
He loves to climb into his stroller and waits there till we go for a walk. Or he will climb onto his monster tricycle and loves to get pushed around on that.
He still loves koda and shes finally letting him play with her a bit too. He will chase her and play tug all while giggling like crazy. He can pretty much be found playing in the dirt if left outside. He loves to get his hands dirty and I love it!
He loves to babble and then start laughing like hes just cracked this amazingly funny joke. Of course we laugh right along with him, with no idea what he just said. Its pretty cute.
His favorite song is itsy bitsy spider. He follows along with all the arm motions and claps at the end, then asks for "mo."
He wakes up happy as can be and plays in his crib for about 20 minutes till we go get him. Its nice to get a few minutes to wake up. But he still has to snuggle for at least 20 minutes after he wakes up.

He still loves trucks, cars, balls, and anything that spins
Counts: one, tooo, tee, fo, I, sis, eight.
And he can say, spell and recognize his name. You have to start him off with R but he will follow it up with H, Y, and S.

He is such a happy healthy babe. I am so in love with him right now and am loving this stage. He is so inquisitive and learns something new everyday. I love getting to play and teach and enjoy having him around. He rarely throws tantrums and will do almost anything you ask (close it, put that away, dont touch, stop, come here, put it back, leave it, ect.). I adore him and am so glad we have this time for just the three of us.
