Before we woke him up to change his diaper before we went to bed.

18 Months

His vocabulary has exploded this month. His new words are:

• "Moo"
• "Neigh" - which considering we have animals and I do the sounds so often it took forever for him to make one.
• Shooey
• Big Boy
• Bible - he said it when we were in Arkansas for a retreat. I was getting his Bible to read to him and he repeated me.
• I know there are more, but I haven't written them down as well as I have in the past.
• He FINALLY passed 20 lbs. We haven't decided when/if we are turning him around now or waiting until he is 2.
• He is 31.5 inches tall.

He has started "stacking" things. Not perfectly.

He will sit at his table to eat his snack (for the most part).

He started saying Amen when we pray before our meals (and at bedtime). It sounds more like "me-me" than Amen, but he says it at the right time. He is so proud of himself.
While I was in California he started saying "nana" for banana.
He is saying night-night and snack as well.
This month I was gone for 5 days to California and 1 night to a retreat. He did great with daddy both times. I got a great welcome home for the 1 night trip. He was in shock when he saw me the first time.

Our Farmhouse Bed

We finally had a chance to stain our bed that we built Labor day weekend. Still have the polyurethane to put on, that is the goal for tomorrow. We got the plans from http://ana-white.com/.

• He finally started drinking milk this month. 
• He has said Oh no, uh oh.
• One Wednesday after service at church, I got him up from his nap and he was still tired and as we were in the rocking chair at church, someone opened the fridge. He perked up and said Oh, so clearly because he saw something he wanted inside. 
• His favorite thing to do is empty and fill up things. Especially a drawer within his reach.
• He pointed to his mouth once when we were singing a song.
• He got his first haircut with the clippers.
• He is also in the process of cutting his top 2 canines.

Getting his hair cut like daddy

He got a treat after the haircut was finished. He did well until he was ready to get down!
