How in the world is this possible?  I swear we just brought you home yesterday.  In all honesty though, this age and you are just so much fun!  This past month your language and personality has grown.  You are fiercely independent and rarely want help in figuring things out.  If you do except help, you often re do it all over again by yourself.  With this has also come tantrums.  They don’t happen all the time, but you do get frustrated when things don’t go your way.  They are pretty amusing to your dad and I. 

This month you added the following words to your vocabulary: boo (book), go, eet (feet), ish (fish),op (open), bi (bite), be (belly), Cre/dre (Christopher) and orge (orange).  You also will follow simple commands like get your shoes, wipe your nose, etc.  It is so cute! 

At 18 months you are using utensils, but not for the entire meal.  You can stack blocks, build with legos, and have started to drive your trucks around the house.  You kick and throw all the balls we own.  You are the king of making messes and move from one area to the next.  You are a whirl wind and rarely ever stop to sit still.  You make us laugh all the time!
