Atticus at 18 Months

Oct. 2, 2016

Our little boy is getting bigger and bigger -- Atticus turned 18 months old on Sunday. His personality is as bright as his red, red hair.

He loves to laugh, especially if you press your cheek against his mouth for a kiss. He knows a few body parts (from top to bottom: hair, head, nose, mouth, tongue, belly) and a few words (mom, dad, hi, bye, fan, car, dog and maybe his favorite: this!).

He is fast and darts here and there. He is an acrobat who loves to jump in his crib and is already the best somersaulter in the family. He has no fear and will climb to the tallest slide with the best of them.

He kind of sings the ABC song (or maybe Twinkle, Twinkle -- the words are very indistinct). He loves to play with his sister and enjoys hiding in the blanket forts that she builds. Favorite foods: All of them. Favorite books: "My First Trucks" and "Carl and the Baby Duck."

The milestones are coming fast and furious, and so are the smiles. Can't wait to see what comes next!
