18 and 19 month update

Sweet Baby William is growing up so fast!!! These past few months have shown lots of changes in your age. We finally say a good handful of words including: please (peas), Mimi, Grandaddy, Hannah, Hunter, Amanda, Haley, Gigi, banana (nana), baby, TV (chi chi), milk, juice, bath (ba), go go go, nose, toes and I'm sure I'm forgetting many more. You understand just about everything we say to you and if we give you a task, you usually will do it unless you are being stubborn and ignoring us (which often happens if the TV is on). You love to help us and as Pam says, you are such the pleaser and very sharp. Although you have a limited vocabulary, you can still point and mumble at things that you want and we usually can figure out what it is that you want.
You have grown a ton of hair over the past few months and actually had your first haircut. It was just a one snip cut to get that long curl on the back of your head evened up with the rest of your hair. Your hair is still a dark blonde color and has grown in a lot, but I still wonder what your hair will be like--curly, wavy, or if it will grow out and not curl at all.

You still love to be held by most anybody, but especially your Mama. It has been tougher to hold you as the end of the pregnancy is approaching!

We put you in the big boy bed right at 18 months and you loved it. You stayed in there for at least 2 weeks before you discovered how to crawl out and call "Mama" as you walked into my bedroom. The first time was quite a shock and we went through a week of putting you back in bed at nap and bedtimes. But with Baby #2 on the way, we decided to put you in the pack 'n play in your bedroom until we decide you understand what we mean when we tell you to stay in bed. As long as you have loveys and a pillow, I think you're happy!

You are still so very loving most of the time...love to give hugs, kisses, be held, snuggle and lie your head down on our shoulders when you're the slightest bit tired. You take one nap a day at Pam's and you still take two naps a day when you are with us. That will be cut down to one nap very soon!

We love you to pieces Sweet William and can't wait for the next 5 months when you will be 2 already--wow time flies! We love you!
