My 18 Month old!

Elijah! you are 18 months today! i really cant believe it!!!!

you are such a big boy and you are doing so much more!

you weigh 26 lbs and are 32.5 inches tall! such a big boy! your hair is still a gorgeous blonde and it grows so fast! i love it when it's long but daddy likes it short. either way you are just so adorable.

everywhere we go when people see you they tell me how gorgeous or pretty you are. :) you are such a handsome little boy for sure! and you make the cutest still faces.

you talk nonstop now. from the moment your eyes open till they close at night. even in your sleep you talk. sometimes you call for doggy in your sleep too. last night you slept with us and you started talking about cars and doggies in your sleep. it was too adorable!

you are saying so many new words now. i cant keep track! the other day your daddy and I heard you say "what ya doing" at least two different times! we just looked at each other in disbelief! ha it was awesome!

you love your cars and play with them all over the house. you also love your puppy. he is a stuffed animal we bought you way before you were born. now you call "Doooooo gggyyyyy" and "Puuuuu pyyyy" we love how you break it up... ha. so funny!

every time i put you down for your nap you have me give your doggy and puppy a kiss and you tell me "bye". lately you never want to get out of the bath! you can sit in there for 30 minutes and still not want to get out!

you are a very obedient little boy... well when you want to be. i am trying to teach you how to share. you do not like it when other kids play with your cars. but last night when the family was over you were very good! all the kids played with you and your toys and you didnt have a problem at all with it! i am so proud of you.

the other day we took you to see Toy Story 3 in the theatre and you did great!!!! you watched the whole movie and took turns sitting in my lap and daddy's lap. it was soooo fun!

your favorite movies are "Cars", "Monsters vs. Aliens", "Finding Nemo" and "The Incredibles". if you even hear me talking about watching a movie in bed you run into our room and wait for me. :)

you have got to be the most fun kid we have ever met! you have the best personality and you are hilarious. you do the silliest things and make us laugh all the time!

oh the other day i was babysitting a little baby boy and you pointed at his feet and said "shoes". ha ha ha...

you absolutely love company! when someone comes over you get so excited and love to show off! :) when daddy comes home from work you scream and get soooooo crazy! it's awesome! makes daddy feel so loved! :)

you say "mommy" for everything. anytime you want something you say "mommy" ha. but even though you do that you still know who the real "mommy" is! ME!!!! :) we are definately best buds!!!!

you love the tag on your doggy and like to rub it on your ear when you suck your thumb. so funny, you just started doing that this past month too.

you say "please" and "thank you" soooo much. every time you want something you always say "thank you" when we give it to you. no matter what! people are definately impressed with that. i told your daddy i was going to have a polite kid no matter what and sure enough that's what we have! :)

well angel i am sure i could write forever about you but i will stop for now. you are such a great kid! we love you sweetie!!!!

love,

mommy and daddy
