Happy 18 Months to our Jordie Boy!
Well little man, you've hit the 18 month mark....and we weren't even here to see it! Daddy, James and I were in Mexico on vacation but of course you were the center of Nana and Papa's world so were happy and well loved and clearly didn't even realize we weren't there!
You've grown up and changed so much in the past 6 months and I can't believe we are already on the downhill slope to turning 2!
You are now almost 20 months and Mommy is way behind on writing this blog post so here it goes!
At 18 months you were just about 30 lbs and easily the size your brother was at 2 years old. You are a big, happy, and funny little character that still refuses to say even a single word. Once in awhile you will mumble out a mamamama but other than that you just grunt, giggle and point at what you want. Or, you will just go and get what you want. You are very resourceful, independent and stubborn too. You want what you want and when you want it, and if you don't get it, you will let us know you aren't happy. You have now started to make this funny little face at us along with a grunt that shows you are unhappy about something.
You are still an excellent sleeper, an incredible eater and you are starting to get over your shyness a little bit. You are still reserved around strangers and take a little bit to warm up to people but you are starting to show affection to us more by laying your head down on us and patting our heads. This started after you stayed with Nana and Papa while we were in Mexico and it is still super cute almost 2 months later. You like to kiss our heads but will rarely give kisses or hugs when asked. It's very much on your terms when and how you show your love and affection for someone.
Your favorite person is definitely your Papa these days. James seems to just bug you and you rarely want him anywhere near you. And if James tries to hug Mommy while you are then you have been known to screech at him and push him away. You clearly want your space and James doesn't know how to take that sometimes. He stills thinks of you as his best friend and I hope that as you grow up a bit more you will realize just how lucky you are to have such a great big brother.
You have started to play a lot more on your own, and with James when it suits you. The two of you have even started to play downstairs in the playroom for short periods of time and Mommy both loves it so she can get stuff done but hates that you are growing up so fast at the same time!
You LOVE to play with cars and trucks and love being read to as well. You also do like your morning cartoons of Bubble Guppies and Paw Patrol and will bring us the TV remote if you feel that it's time to watch something. You have an excellent attention span and can easily watch more TV or a movie than your brother can, if we let you.
Overall you are just a super cute and adorable little guy and Daddy and I are so proud of you and how much you've grown and changed in the last 6 months (well really 8 months). We can't wait to see what the next 6 months bring and as you get closer to 2 we really hope that you will start to show us your voice and start to talk. We both can't wait to hear what your voice will sound like.
We all love you so much Jordie boy!
