18 months

Is there a way I can slow down time just a little? Where did my baby go?! Asher is such a little boy now! He turned 18 months on Dec 21, and seriously, I don't think he could possibly get any cuter. He amazes us everyday with the things he does and his fun personality!

18 month stats:

Height: 34.65 inches- 95th percentile
Weight: 26.46 lbs.- 56th percentile
Head: 18.7 inches- 39th percentile

He's such a monster! I know I say this every time, but how did we end up with such a tall kid? Most people are surprised to hear he is only 18 months just because he is so tall!

Where do I even start? He is doing so many fun things these days. He is talking up a storm. He says 30+ words all on his own, and repeats us like crazy. I feel like I can have little conversations with him now. Even if he doesn't know what we are talking about he still responds to us and keeps the conversation going. One of my favorite things he says is "bummer dude!" And if Tim or I ever say "bummer" he always adds the "dude" for us. Too funny!

Some things that he loves right now include being chased around the kitchen table. He likes to peek through the chairs and say "I see you!". He still loves his books and bath time. He's obsessed with yogurt and fruit cups right now. He always wants to get into the fridge to pull one out then runs over to get his "poon" (spoon) so we can feed it to him. He is really into trucks lately and gets excited every time we hear one out the window. We have to watch the garbage truck each time it comes, and he is sure to wave and say "bye truck" each time it leaves. He also loves the vacuum, a little too much. Which,that one is nothing new but he still loves it just as much ever. He still loves music and dancing. I am pretty certain we are going to have to get him a piano one day. He loves it so much. He would sit and play at a piano for hours if he could. He is climbing up on everything. His favorite place to climb is on top of the kitchen table, and then jump. Crazy boy! He knows almost all of his body parts now and loves to color. He loves any kind of game, he is so playful and such a little tease already!

We have been trying out nursery for a little while now. I wish I could say it was going well. He is so not loving it though. He screams bloody murder and holds onto us with a death grip each time we drop him off. I want to cry each time we leave him but I know he has to get used to it. He always calms down eventually though and they never have to bring him to us. Once we pick him up though, he does not let go of us for anything! We always hear he enjoyed singing time, so that's one positive note. Last night in the tub he started doing some little actions over and over again and singing to  them. I have no idea what he was doing so it must be something he picked up in nursery. It was pretty cute!

 Overall, we pretty much have the cutest boy around. We love seeing everything he learns each day. He is getting so big and we love seeing his personality come out more and more everyday! Love you Asher boy!
