Harv in his handsome Easter bow tie
{April *}
Mr. Harvey Dean is 18 months old. He is starting to turn into more of a little boy than a baby and I love and hate it all at the same time. I love watching him grow and learn everyday, but I hate that my baby is growing up too fast!
Some things about our little man at 18 months old
He is a man of little words, but has just recently started saying a few words
mom
dad
grampa
papa
hi
outside {where he lives}
ball {such a boy! He LOVES any kind of ball or bat!}
Its hot! {he is starting to blow on his food when it's hot} He also says this when something is cold
nigh nigh {as he waves and gives kisses to go to bed}
bubo {bubble} He LOVES blowing bubbles
And still a lot of gooey jibber jabber
*He is still constantly slobbering
*He has all his incisors, 1 year molars, and is just finishing up getting his canines
*He loves BROOMS, MOPS, and VACUUMS. It is his obsession and we joke about what a great janitor he'll be some day. He always wants the vacuum out. {he has a little one that he likes to push with me or daddy while we vacuum too}
*He goes to nursery and stays the whole time
*He is still our lover boy. He gives great kisses {but also loves to hit and push us away, but he's always quick to love us again}
*He loves the lawn mower and always wanted to push it. The Easter Bunny brought one for him {his size} for Easter and he loves it
*He wants to be outside all day
*He loves to play with his sisters. He gets so excited when they get home from school
*He has 1 nap a day {usually 3 hours. Anywhere from 2-4 hours long}
*He goes to bed around 8:30 or 9:00 and sleeps for 12 hours straight.
*He knows what he wants and will nod or shake his head "no" accordingly {but does not say the words "yes" or "no" yet} I think the girls were telling me "no" before they could walk!
*He loves Grandpa and Papa. When we start to pull up to their houses, he knows and starts yelling their names. Grandpa watches Harvey every Wednesday morning while I help in Abbey's class and Harvey loves it. I ask if he wants to go see Grandpa and he nods and runs for the car.
*He loves the tub
*He is happy almost all the time! He has truly been the sweetest baby.
*When he does get upset and wants his way, he HEAD BUTTS the floor or YOU or whatever is in front of him.
*He squeals and points when he wants something and gets frustrated when I don't pick the right thing and he'll shake his head "no" until I get the right thing!
*He wants to get in the shower with me or daddy EVERY TIME we get in. Even if he just got dressed. He starts tugging at his clothes and tries to get them off so he can get in with us.
*He loves all his fun BOY toys BUT he also loves to carry the girls dolls around and give them kisses or push them in the stroller. He also LOVES the play kitchen and pretends to cook and taste all the play food.
*He also doesn't like to be left out when the girls get their hair done. He'll bring me the spray bottle and brush so I can spray and spike his hair.
*He wants to drink out of a BIG BOY cup NOT a sippy cup. And he'll often push the sippy away and walk me to the cupboard where the big cups are! He does a pretty good job with his BIG BOY cups.
*He LOVES his red baseball blanket and sucks his thumb anytime he even gets a visual of it.
*He's a good eater and will eat pretty much anything I put in front of him. Some of his favorites are
strawberrys
cheese
cottage cheese
cereal {he's getting really good with a spoon too}
chicken nuggets
corn dogs
orange juice
yogurt
oreos {really any treat! He's a sugar baby like Jo}
Harvey, I love you so much! Sometimes I just stare at you in disbelief of the perfect little person you are, and wonder how I can be so lucky as to be your mommy. You have brought more joy into our home than you will ever know. Daddy has had so much fun wrestling with you and playing ball, mowing the lawn, and playing cars. I love your sweet snuggles and your funny little personality. I love cooking with you in the pretend kitchen and tasting all your tasty creations. I love the time we have just me and you while the girls are in school. And your sisters couldn't adore you more! They love to take you outside to play or tease you by stealing your blanket or chasing you. We love you to the moon and back sweet
