158. HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY DANIEL KYLE! 18 MONTHS!

I just cannot believe that it has been 18 whole months since I gave birth to this little boy (I promise I'll write about my birth story soon)! That time has flown SO fast, & he's growing into such an incredible little boy, although I want to keep him tiny forever, I can't wait for every new day to come, to see him grow and develop. So much has changed in the last two months (I totally missed a 17 month post, but you can catch his 16 month here) and I know more and more is going to change this month!

Likes: "helping" Mummy, running round and round in circles till he gets dizzy, going to the park, walking everywhere, eating proper food (nothing mushy looking at all!), dancing ("Heads, shoulders, knees and toes" is a fave, alongside "Wind the bobbin up" and "If you're happy and you know it..."), bowls & spoons, talking on the phone, dogs & buses (squeals ensue!)

(Super long lashes!)

Dislikes: loud noises (still!) like the hoover/food processor, when he cannot do something himself, being told "No"

Words: Mama, Dada, Nana, Grandad, Grandma, bus, bye-bye, fish, Peppa, ta-ta, cat, teddy, nee-naw (fire engine) but he understands SO much more & commands like "Leave that here" "Find your shoes" etc. We're working on the signs for help, eat & tree, after mastering please, finished and all gone!

New tricks: waggles his tongue to make a yucky noise, and puts rubbish in the bin, kisses on the cheek, goes to his highchair when it's time to eat, laughs at burps (typical boy!), running when I say "Ready, steady, go!" and shouting as he does it, looks for planes when he hears them & points at them in the sky.

(Clapping himself!)

Our pictures today were inspired by the Paper Mama & her photogrphy challenge, this week the challenge is "The little details" & I was thinking about how I want to capture all Daniel's little 18 month details, because soon enough he will change there will be new details to memorize! Here's my entry:

The little details I never want to forget: little toes, our favourite book, & careful fingers turning pages.

I am so thankful for my life, and for the two perfect boys in it. They make me happier than I ever thought I could be.

Lots of Love

Momma B & Babyboy
