18 months!

Weston turned 18 months at the end of September and I am just amazed at all the changes kids go through between 12 months and 18 months. He grew up so much and learned so many new things.

-His first word other than Mama and Dada was "Ball." He now says quite a few words and is always suprising us with new phrases and words.
-He still has an amazing appetite most of the time (he can eat a whole PB&J sandwich), but he also likes to exercise his independence and refuse more food than he used to.
-Runs really fast and is starting to get off the ground when he hops.
-Has a really good arm and will imitate Casey winding up for a pitch and swinging a bat.
-Went into nursery and hasn't turned back once. He loves it.
-Loves dogs and bugs. If he sees a bug, he will pick it up.
-Likes to give hugs and kisses and is still cuddly. In the morning after he wakes up, he will come and cuddle with us for 30 min or so.
-LOVES to read. We often find him in his room surrounded by his books and flipping through the pages.
-Knows how to say football, basketball, and baseball and knows the difference between the three when he sees them on TV.
-Loves to hop and jump, especially from one thing to another or off things.

Spaghetti is one of his favorite foods Watching sports with Dad and getting a bite of Spaghetti when he can
Eating his very own In-N-Out burger for the first time. He finished about half of it.
My little sous chef
Reading his little heart out
Playing in some water fountains.
Giving hugs to cousin Paisley
Mr. Destructo. He knocked down this light at Casey's work and Casey was more focused on documenting the moment than fixing the light, which just sat right back up.

He's our little daredevil and doesn't scare easily. He will do things like this all on his own without any coaching.

I'm glad Weston can help make sure our little boy turns out manly.

He's so cute and BRAVE! I swear some kids have no fear :) I wonder if this means being ready for a lifetime of stitches. Hmmm...
