18 Months!

I can't believe my little boy is 18 months old. He's handsome, cuddly, and so much fun!

We just took him to the Dr. and here are his 18 Month Stats:

Height: 33 3/4 in (81%)

Weight: 26 lbs (47%)

Head: 19 in (60%)

There is so much I could say about this little guy. He is a mama's boy for sure and I love his hugs followed by "yuh you" which means "love you"! He is starting to talk a lot more and use words we can understand. The other day I told Lexie "that's not nice" and he quickly repeated "das not nice". He started singing songs before he really started saying words. His favorite song right now is "Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam"; he sings "a subeam" and throws his arms in the air for emphasis. He can also sing most of the ABCs, and if he sees a letter O he points to it and says "O"; also, if he sees any letters on signs, on clothes, in books, or anywhere else he starts singing the ABC song. His favorite show is "Super Why" and he loves to sing the songs and dance. The kid just has music in his soul because he is constantly singing, dancing or both. His favorite toys right now are Mega Bloks (every morning he goes in Lexie's room to get them and comes out with them saying "bloks, bloks") and he loves Lexie's dollhouse because he can open and close the door. He is seriously a little OCD because he gets obsessed with opening and closing doors and you cannot get him to stop. The sad thing is, he is tall enough to reach the doorhandles at church so his first few times at nursery haven't gone so well because he can escape already. He will use anything he can find to stand on so he can turn the lights on and off and we have to keep the chairs out of the kitchen or he will climb up and stand on table. He is a really good sleeper now and goes down usually around 8:00 p.m. and gets up at 8:00 a.m. Lately when he wakes up he starts yelling "Mommy, Mommy" and if I don't get in there fast enough he changes to "Daddy, Daddy" which is super cute and always gets us laughing. He can eat with a spoon really well now, but sometimes it's just not fast enough for him so he uses his hands to shovel it in. One of his favorite foods is cereal and any box in the kitchen he points and says "cereal". He seems to prefer his left hand so that would be interesting for a house full of righties to end up with a lefty. He loves balls and is getting quite good at throwing them. He is completely attached to his sports blanket and loves pointing out all the different balls. I also love that he enjoys watching sports with me, especially football! I'm pretty sure he is going to be a little athlete and with a name like Hoyt it was bound to happen. :) His laugh is so infectious and his smile just makes me melt. I love you my little man!
