Graham- 18 months

My! Oh! MY!

I feel like the past 18 months have flown by, yet I feel like Graham is already 2.  It is the weirdest feeling with him.  I sometimes forget he is still a baby.

Graham is definitely showing more and more personality all the time.  He keeps us guessing and laughing and sometimes pulling our hair out, but we all love our Grahammer boy!

He hasn't been our best sleeper, but after Christmas we decided it was time.  He is now sleeping from 8 to 7 and it is making a world of difference for Darren and I.  He is napping one time a day.  It varies from day to day depending on Luke's therapy/school schedule but it is usually between a 2 and 3 hour nap. It is nice to be on the one nap schedule now.

He is really starting to communicate with us more.  He says: mama, dada, uh-oh, vitamins, drink, all done, stuck, bye bye, there it is, and I'm sure I'm missing more.  He can do a dog, cat, tiger, lion, and bird animal sounds.  He knows almost everything you are saying.  Points to his belly, head, nose, and toes.

Graham is a pro at the iPads.  It is crazy how these kids know how to maneuver through all the apps.

He loves to eat pizza, french fries, oranges, apples, pancakes, pistachios, beef stew, waffles, oatmeal, crackers, chocolate, OREOS, chocolate milk, still loves his almond milk, and any candy.

Nursery and being left isn't his thing right now.  He is really struggling with the separation anxiety.  Especially at church.  The first time we left him, we found him with our Primary president because he just couldn't calm down.  He definitely wants either Luke, Darren, or me around at all times.  I've been leaving him at Barre daycare to hopefully help him with that.  (and can I just say that nursery age needs to be changed to 15 months....!!!!)

He is so handsome and I love him more than words can express.  I love watching him be the perfect best friend to his brother.  I love watching him tease all of us.  I love his messiness and his stubborn attitude on stuff he wants.

His stats:

weight: 23.8 lbs (42%)
length: 32.4 inches (45%)
head circ: 49.5
