18 Months

Wow....I know I say it every month but time is absolutely FLYING! We have been sooooo busy this past month that I don't even know where the month of December went! Brett's younger brother, Austin got married on the 11th of this month, then home for the holidays, then to Gatlinburg, and finally back home. I feel like Casen's pack and play has become his new crib and I must say, my little one LOVES his own bed!!

Now for things my little one started doing at 17 months:
*He will take his dirty clothes and put them in his hamper.
*Throw away trash on his own (started at 16 months)
*Knows all of our family members and many of our friends by name and knows who goes with
who. For example, when he says Ausin (Austin).....he always follows with Ray Ray (Rachel).
*He has started calling me "Mommy" instead of "Mama. It is soooo sweet.
*He now tells me when he has poo poo in his diaper......by screaming "POO POO" and grabbing
his diaper. ha!
*Loves to dance......he took over the dance floor at Austin and Rachel's Wedding.
*Can sing along with Barney songs.....so stinking cute.
*Will cuddle up to me and drift off to sleep (Finally....it has only taken 17 months to get some
cuddle time....the boy like to sleep in his own bed, what can I say!)
*Loves for me to sing "Jesus Loves Me" until he is asleep or almost asleep....if I try to leave out
of the the room too early, he screams "Jesussss!"
*Knows the letters C, A, and Y
*Started going up and down steps without holding onto a bar or anything.
