Eighteen Months

Little "K" is now officially 18 months old!  Who would have thought this mile marker would be achieved?  Actually, looking back, it now seems that we hit this date fast, but believe me - the first four months felt like eternity!  So, what types of things is "K" up to now?  Well, here are some highlights of current happenings:

*More words.  Church, fly, "be right back," and numerous others have been added to his vocabulary.  Plus, he tries to say the names of those at daycare and Sweet "J." too!

*Silverware.  Well, we are still working on this one.  But, he holds them in his hands and tries to scoop food with them.  So, I think this is progress!

*Four more teeth.  The final four of the front lines have come through.  It has been an adventure, and I am happy to say that this is marked off in the baby book.  Now, the 2 year molars are next -- and last!!

*Milk.  Strawberry syrup is the secret to downing this dairy beverage.  "K" requests "water" every morning.  Who would have thought that this kid would actually ask for milk??

*Stairs.  My Dad taught "K" how to climb stairs, and how to get down them.  So, "K" climbs up the stairs as we head inside Sweet "J's" each day.  Yeah!

What's next?  Well, hopefully the words will keep coming, and we can have a conversation or two someday soon.  Reasoning with an 18 month old is an adventure, so I look forward to the ever developing communication skills!!
