18 Months Already

WOW. Our little Baby Dane is 18 months old today. At 18 months he weighs around 22 pounds and he is around 32 inches tall. He isn't talking much, but he is picking up on signing like crazy. He's recently learned cookie. Pair that with "more" and "please", and boy, are we in for it! He loves to make animal sounds and is still pretty obsessed with cars and monkeys. Oddly enough, his favorite noises to make are the baaaing of a sheep, while Mommy adores his owl goes "Whoooo" and Daddy likes his pig sound (it isn't "oink"!). Dane loves being outside to run, swing, look at cars, and go for walks. Upon re-entering the house, he must ring the doorbell.
He enjoys the company of his cousins and grandparents. His favorite pastimes include antagonizing the dogs and recently, shredding napkins. His favorite non-toy toys are pots and pans, xbox remotes, the salt shaker, and cell phones. He has peed in the potty a few times, but I am just not sure he gets that it is a good thing, despite my foolish cheering. His favorite books are the lift-the-flap kind, and he gets to watch Curious George every morning. He eats like I am starting to suspect you might believe, because we talk about it so dang much, and if you've seen him put away food once, you don't quickly forget.
We are absolutely smitten with our little man and we could not be more proud of him. He has filled our lives with love and laughter, and truly, there is nothing more we could ask of him. Happy 18 month birthday, Dane Thomas. We love you.
