Brendan has been keeping us busy. At 18 mo., he is a solid 30 lbs. and coming in the 90-95%tile in measurements. He is running, climbing, and exploring all of the time. Most days he can re-arrange the house within a few minutes. (Our house is never clean long.) He also likes to play outside.
He is using sentences and is a great communicator. He tells you exactly what he wants. Yesterday he requested ketchup out of nowhere. (Definitely his father's son.) My favorite word he says now is Buckaroo. He also blew us away when he said a 4 syllable word- application- on the way home from Christmas in Sedona.
He likes to listen to the Beatles and Bob Marley. Our special song to dance to is All You Need is Love. He even sings along. It was the only reason I got him to smile in the Christmas photo. He calls musica, "mica". Yes, he is sort of bilingual already. Everyday at 4:30 he gets to watch his favorite show Word World on PBS. Brendan also likes to watch football w/ his Dad.
He likes to play 'bball' with his new basketball hoop and despite being a foot shorter than the rim he can make 'em in. He has been using his potty here and there and last night he climbed out of his crib twice. It is on the lowest setting so convertible toddler bed here we come! Now that scares Mommy!
We got him a Children's museum membership and he enjoys visiting the museum and playing with kids. He is excited about his new house and other kids in the neighborhood too. Speaking of which- we are closing on a new home nearby on Jan. 18. The boys will have a bigger house and much bigger yard to play in.
Brendan counts in English and Spanish to around 15, skipping a few #'s and also knows the alphabet. His favorite toys are balls, horsies, and cars. Next time you see him be sure to share a toast and 'cheers' drinks. He's quite the character!
