I love this little 18 month old boy who...

...can count. Yep..he really can. He usually starts with 5 and goes to 8, but if you start with 1, he'll count every other number. Except 4...he skips 4.

....is starting to learn the concept of "home". He'll say, "Daddy home?" "Mommy home?" He is very interested in who is at home.

.....loves reading. His favorite right now is The Little Drummer Boy. There is a part where he plays his drum, so we sing "Pa rump a pum pum" like the Christmas song. So Parker calls the book "Pum Pum".

......calls roll. He'll say, "Daddy, Mommy, Coco" (His aunt Courtney made the list this morning.)

......goes to the closet and gets the vacuum out and says "bacum". At least it holds me accountable on keeping the floors clean. And he'll ask visitors to vacuum. Pretty sure his Poppa has vacuumed the past 2 times he's been here.

....loves watching Mickey Mouse Club house. He points to the tv and says, "moush!"

....is so, so sweet! But he is also getting a little ornery. If he doesn't want to do something he yells "NO!" Usually he doesn't want to put on shoes or socks.

.....repeats EVERYTHING you say. The other night he spilled my drink and Phillip yelled "Shoot!" and so did Parker. We definitely are watching what we say around him!

I love this little 18 month old boy who has completely captured our hearts.
