18 MONTHS!!

Field is 18 months!  Honestly, the first year of Field's life didn't go all that fast for me...since we went through some very difficult times, but since turning one year old, time is FLYING by and we are truly loving being Field's parents.

A few things about Field at 18 months (I'll spare you the 18 things at 18 months. Ha!):

VERY into golf and football.  Loves to hit any kind of ball around the house with his clubs.  It looks more like hockey, but he'll catch on to the game of golf one day.  Loves to hold a football and throw it behind him.  Yes, I said behind him.  Where do these kids learn to do such things?

We started back up at Little Gym and once again, Field is a fan.  He loves the Little Gym activities and what boy doesn't love being able to climb, jump, and run onto anything and everything in one giant, colorful room?

Books, books, books!  Still loves to read books.  We read A LOT during the day and Field continues to prefer the truck books over any other.

When he gives us a hug, we always say, "Awww," and so now when we ask for a hug, he says, "Awww" as he lays his head on you for about 1/2 second. :)

I realize that this is definitely delayed, but we finally and officially have Field out of the bath chair.  We tried so many different times only to have him act so crazy slipping and sliding all over the place, trying to stand up, and face planting (on purpose) into the water that we would immediately put him back in the bath chair.  But now, little man is able to control himself and not act so crazy in the tub so he gets to play without being in the bath chair.  That must be so SO freeing?!

A few favorite songs - Jesus Loves Me, Bath Time,Bath Time (a song made up by mommy), and This is the Way the Gentlemen Ride (a nursery rhyme sung by daddy).  He sings the songs with the right tune and all.  It sounds like someone singing the wrong words to the right tune because he sings in jibberish,  ;-)

We had a wonderful check up today with our pediatrician.  She is very pleased with Field's development, growth, and overall health.  We are very blessed and thankful this holiday season.

Happy 18 months, Field!
