18 Months


18 months...aka 1 and a half! And boy has he grown. When I see pictures of him he looks so much like a little boy, and I suppose that's what he is. Let's see...he is great at climbing and most recently jumping off of things. Scary for us but he thinks it's so much fun. Rhonen can go down the slide all by himself, even the really tall slides. He has no fear.

It's amazing to see him with Jackson...he takes such an interest in his brother. He wants to swing him to sleep, burp him after a feeding, give him kisses, and help in any other way he can. Jackson always pays attention when his brother is around and I know in a few months the bond will be very strong between them. 

Rhonen is talking up a storm...the only problem is we don't know what he is saying! We can decipher about 30 words, everything else is baby gibberish. He has started to count and loves when we sing songs.

Along with all these wonderful milestones, we have also wandered into tantrum land. When he doesn't get his way..watch out! Crying, head banging, feet kicking, arm throwing tantrum!Most of the time we ignore his outburst, unless he's frustrated with a task...then we take the time to help him. It's all part of growing up :)

We're so in love with our Rhonen! We couldn't ask for a more perfect child and we can't wait to see him continue to grow and learn.
