Where has the summer gone? And where has our baby gone?!?! Mikey is a full blown toddler now. He is walking super fast (not quite running yet), climbing onto everything and all around just being more physical. Each month he usually has a "trend" in terms of his toys and book preference. This month he is all about transportation vehicles! He LOVES to read his transportation book with real pictures of all sorts of trucks, tractors, construction vehicles, etc. (Mommy is REALLY getting an education!) He also enjoys pushing around his fire truck, school bus, and playing with his garage. All boy!
Mikey has also started using a few words recently. He says "up" and reaches up with his arms when he wants to be picked up, "car", and inconsistently---"baby" (he says "bay-be"). Also "bye bye" with a wave is a popular one. Mikey is also signing (as mentioned a few days ago). His most consistent signs are "more", "please", "all done", and "eat". He is also following one step directions---which tell us you are really taking everything in! You are one smart boy!
Next Tuesday Mikey starts at Eva's house (a home daycare). He will be attending one day a week while Mommy goes to work. Even though I will miss him terribly (and feel weird about having a non-family member care for my son), I know Mikey will enjoy his time there. His day will be structured more like a preschool. They do arts and crafts projects, circle time and take a walk down to the nearby field/grass area twice a day. He will definitely be exhausted by the end of the day!
Happy 18 months, my love! We love you sooooooooooo much!
