Simonazo: 18 months

18 things about Simonazo at 18 months

1) He is speaking more and learning new words every day.
Favourites include:
"more" (used mostly in the kitchen to indicate any type of food)
"outside" (used probably 1,000,000 times a day, even when we are outside)
"koo-kah" (cookie or cracker, depending on which cupboard he points to)
"baba" (bottle or your brother)

2) He doesn't walk, he runs. Everywhere. All the time.

3) He is mostly in a good mood. Except when he screams and cries for no reason. Like he doesn't like the shoes he is wearing. Or mom tries to put his Hallowe'en costume on.

4) He loves the water. He can easily spend 30 minutes in the tub, and is doing great at swimming lessons.

5) He is a clown. He is always looking for something funny to do and then doing it over and over again to get a reaction from us. He also makes funny faces.

6) He is definitely a boy. He loves to be gross (especially at the dinner table) and laughs when he toots.

7) He is very independent. He can go up and down stairs (holding onto the railing on the way down), down the slide and tries to put his clothes on himself.

8) He is a bit of a daredevil. He is always the highest on the swings, he loves having his dad take the stroller off roading and bouncing around. The higher and faster it goes, the happier he is.

9) He loves going for walks in the park. And the boy can walk. Uphill, downhill, anywhere.

10) He's a great eater. He loves fruits, especially peaches and raspberries. He also has a taste for hummus, beans and Perrier.

11) He loves the dirt. He is happiest sitting in the dirt, with a shovel, and making a mess. He can never wear the same pants 2 days in a row because they are always dirty by the end of the day.

12) He is so friendly. He loves to wave at other kids and will run up to neighbours and give them a hug.

13) He loves animals, especially watching the dogs at the park.

14) He can run and kick a ball, and has a really good throwing arm.

15) He loves his brother. He will hug and kiss him, or lie on the floor next to him and try to make him laugh.

16) He has a taste for shoes, bags and jewelry. He also loved getting his hair "done" pre-haircut.

17) He knows that a "bike" can be a motorcycle or a bicycle. And he will say "bike" if he hears a bike but can't see it.

18) He notices everything. He will spot a bike leaning up against a garage from the street, or copy the way his dad is scratching his head.
