18 Months Old

This week we had our 18 month appointment for Hayden.  We can’t believe that our baby is already a year and a half old.  Where does the time go?  It seems that as they get older, everything speeds up and they grow so fast.  The doctor told us that he’s still a very healthy boy and is right where he should be developmentally, which we’re very thankful for.  He really has developed such a cute personality and is so smart.  Jamie and I couldn’t be prouder.  Because he changes everyday, here’s a list of what our little man likes and what he’s currently doing:

  • Eats just about anything and is currently loving red kidney beans and 100% cranberry juice
  • Favorite song at story time is “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”
  • Favorite “hang outs” include the playground across the street and the pool
  • Favorite TV shows are Elmo’s World and Jack’s Big Music Show
  • New favorite word is Mom
  • Favorite book is an animal peek-a-boo book
  • Loves to “draw” with crayons, sidewalk chalk and his aquadoodle
  • Goes to bed at 7:00 or 7:30 and wakes up in the morning around the same time – sometimes later.
  • Goes to his crib at naptime and wants to get in
  • Naps from 12:00 to about 2:30 or 3:00
  • Usually wakes up by “talking” to his stuffed animals and waits until we get him.
  • Greets us with a smile on his face most of the time
  • Likes to throw and kick the ball
  • Likes to attempt to put on his clothes and shoes but gets frustrated when he can’t do it
  • Is passionate about his Cubs crocks and loves to put them on
  • Gets excited when he hears the garage door when Daddy comes home
  • Is obsessed with the TV controls and plays with them all the time
  • Is fascinated with running water
  • Loves to climb and run everywhere
