19 Months Old

Carter turned 19 months last week. It's crazy all the things he started to do while he was 18 months old, so I thought it deserved an update, so here you go...

-He throws an ALL OUT PARTY when Dada gets home!

-He says "see?" when he wants to show me something.
-He loves to wear his "boos" (rain boots) and "shooos" (shoes).

-He calls Fischer "Sheesh(er)"

-He LOVES to feed Sheesher.

-He LOVES to go outside. He will run to the door and say "at-sigh" (outside).

-He turns on/off the tv...all the time.

-He pretends to talk on the phone using calculators, baby monitors, pretty much any rectangular shaped object.

-He watches home videos and loves to name people in them.

-He tries to look "into" or "around the corner of" the tv when he hears people he knows talking off screen.

-He counts "uh" "oo" "ee" (1, 2, 3).
-When he wants a snack he runs to the pantry and says "naaa" (snack)

-He says and points to "noe" (nose), "eee" (ear), "tee" (teeth/mouth), "haa" (hair), IIII (eye).

2 Quick Funny Stories: He was eating lunch, and I told him he was eating a pear, and he pointed to his head...he thought I said "hair." We were getting ready to read his Bible before his nap time. I asked him if he was ready to read about Moses, and he pointed to his nose and mine...he thought I said "noses."

-He can dunk his basketball and he cheers loudly for himself every time.

-He climbs into his highchair by himself - he CLIMBS ON EVERYTHING!

-He builds towers with big building blocks and proceeds to knock them down.

-He answers questions! - I asked him if he was finished and he shook his head and said "No." It's a little strange when you get a verbal answer for the first time :-)

-He shakes and nods head.

-He walks down the stairs by himself. Most of the time he holds onto the wall or spindels

-He is interested in puzzles now.

-His new song is Row Row Row Your Boat...he likes to sing the row row row part. He also likes to sing Justin Beiber's "Baby, Baby, Baby" song - thanks to Mrs. Bethanie :-)

-He does the hand motions to the Itsy Bitsy Spider and the Wheels on the Bus

-He puts his hands together when we tell him it's time to pray ("praying hands" we call it).

-When he thinks things are "ha" (hot) he blows on the "shhhhhhh."

-He says and does the sign for "more" and he does the sign for "all done."

-We are trying to teach him that mommy has a baby brother in her belly. When you ask him where his baby brother his, he points at his belly now....not quite :-)

It's been so fun to watch him learn and grow. He is at such a fun age. Everyday is a brand new adventure!
