spencer – 18 months old

Geez, we’re a mix of “how is he already 18-months!?” and “he’s only 18-months!?” haha

Let’s do a little update on Big Boy Spencer, eh!?

Likes:

• moving (walking, running, climbing, etc.)
• being outside
• animals
• food!!!
• playing with his friends
• wrestling
• his favorite toys

Dislikes:

• getting into trouble
• being told to do the opposite of whatever he’s wanting to do
• getting into his car seat
• being dropped off at his class at church on Sundays

Food:

Nothing is really off-limits when it comes to food. He loves pretty much everything but definitely has his staples –

Breakfast usually includes a banana.

Lunch is typically PB&J with sides.

Dinner is scarfed down sometimes before I even take a seat.

Sleep:

7-8pm is still bedtime and he’s usually ready for it. He takes one nap from 12-1:30/2pm but some days it gets pushed to 1-2:30/3pm and that’s just fine too.

Life:

Life hasn’t changed much from his 12-month update. Big man is everywhere and into everything all the time! I cannot tell you how many times I turn around to do something and when I look back he’s on top of something, dumping or unpacking something.

He loves playing with his family and his friends. But he still cherishes Mommy & Daddy hugs + kisses.

We have given him a couple more haircuts since his last update and we have found a way that works best… mama snuggles <3

He isn’t saying a lot of real words, but he tries and I can understand some of it. He’s also good at grabbing my hand and leading me, pointing at what he wants.

His favorite toys are his puppy friends (2 stuffed animals puppies), wooden trains, his slide and a few other random things.

Me:

Like I said above, I’m in this weird in-between of being shocked he’s already 18-months and also like “that’s all!?” haha. He keeps me on my toes and most times I’m ready for him to have his quiet time or it to be bedtime, but the hours I’m with him are gold. I love Spencer Myles very much.
