19 months

I feel like as time goes on, I am getting later and later in the month for these posts. It seems that it's hard to find the time to get this done! But this has become my 'baby book' in a way, so if anything I keep doing it to remember these little times. It doesn't have to be exact, I guess :)

Little Man is doing great these days! 

• We had our first bad illness last week. RSV. No fun. It's a really bad cold that involved lots of mucous :( We had to do breathing treatments and lots of saline with suctioning. But we are all better now! Too bad he also got his first double ear infection at the end of this, so we have yet another doctor follow up tomorrow.
• This kid is demanding. He knows what he wants, and he wants it now! There's a lot of small tempertantrums just because he wants something he can't have or wants it faster than I can do it.  He's also pretty stubborn (who does he get that from?!?), so that can make these little melt downs even more fun.
• He still LOVES cars, trucks, bikes, buses, etc. basically anything transportation. He can now say 'big truck'- getting descriptive!
• He loves to throw things- even things that shouldn't be thrown. We're constantly having to make sure he's not hurting anyone or being too destructive with that arm of his.
• The biggest word he can say is 'umbrella'. Pretty impressive! 
• He still loves to be around other people. He is definitely a little politician. He's got everyone around him convinced he's perfect at all times :) I don't try and steer them wrong, but it's kind of funny.
• Daylight savings time messed us up a bit (why oh why do we do that?!?), but Luke is a great night time sleeper. Down by 7:30 and will sleep until 6:30/7 in the morning. He naps after lunch which can be anytime from 11:15-1, just depends on what we're doing, and he usually sleeps for about 1.5 hours.
•  He is a very good helper. He likes to help do laundry, put up dishes, or just fetch things from around the house. He enjoys sweeping, but I wish he was better at it.
• He always wants 'up'. On the bed, on the couch, on the counter- wherever he can get a better view.
• He loves a walk in his stroller. We have a nice 45 minute route we do.
• He still loves school! He sleeps well and is always happy to go and when I pick him up. His teachers are very sweet, as well. That's been a very good experience.
• Everyday there's a new word- I can't even think of what they are to list here. But his vocabulary continues to grow, and it's slowly getting easier to communicate with him.
• We have had an issue with him throwing his food at dinner (only meal he does this-odd), so he did spend his first minute in time out. I don't think he got it, so I'm trying other things right now, and last night there were only 3 carrots on the floor!
 

This kid is really just overall very happy and laid back. He's just fun to be around :)
