18 months of Love

I can't put my arms down!

You are 18 months.  You weigh 25 pounds.  You are 33 inches tall.  Your Dr. has said from day one, and at every wellness checkup, that you will be a tall, skinny boy. 
You wear 18 to 24 month clothes with some 2T shirts.  You go to bed between 6:30-7:00.  You wake up about 6:30 everyday (no matter what time we put you to bed).  This is great, considering you used to wake up at 5:00 everyday.  You have one nap a day.  At home you will nap for two hours, at school (daycare) you will nap between an hour and two hours.  You are the last one they lay down for nap at school, because you have to always know what is going on and make sure you are not missing anything. You love to eat anything with cheese and bread...grilled cheese, cheese quesadillas, cheese pizza, mac and cheese, but you will not actually eat a piece of cheese.  If we would let you, you would just snack all day.  You love chocolate mini donuts.   You love books and are constantly coming up to me or dadda with a book.  You are able to "read" some of your own books by saying what comes next or pointing to the body part that we are reading about.  Your favorite books have always been SuperHero Me and Farm Friends.  No matter what, we read these two books many times during the day or evening.  You can climb all pieces of furniture in the living room (rather it is for actual sitting or not).  You love phones and every time one rings you rush to find it.  You do not like getting in the bath tub.  When we ask if you want to take a bath you shake your head and say, "no".  You do okay once you are in the tub, and you always wave bye-bye to your stink of the day.  You get happy when I sing Mama Loves Baby by Solange Knowles (Beyonce's Sister) and the chorus to Billionaire...just the chorus part.  You can point to your hair, head, nose, ears, teeth, belly, bellybutton, feet, and toes (however you only point to your toes when we say piggies...thanks to your GiGi).  You can say Mama (sweetly and not so sweetly)...dadda, cat, dog, no, ball, yeah, yay, ba--by, balloon (babo),
You can moo like a cow, baa like a sheep, and make a fish sound.
You are ticklish on your back and feet.  You start belly laughing when dadda tickles you with his beard.
You blow kisses to many-a-women a day.  You are a flirt.  You know how to put on a show.  You love the camera. You give kisses to me and dadda, but only on your terms...You do give kisses right before bed...thank goodness.
You are my booboo...You are daddy's KadeMan....You are 18 months old.

Sweet post! Cash and Kade know a lot of the same things. Cash loooooooves animals and animal noises; in fact, he would rather make the noises than say the actual words (i.e., "Cash, what is this?" "Moo!") So freaking cute, I love this age.
