18 Months & 2 Months

This is going to be a quick not super informative post bc I am getting behind in posts these days... I have started a new strategy for post by keeping notes of topics I want to discuss on my phone.  So hopefully in the next post I have more to offer!

18 Months:

Harrison is 18 months and just amazes me every day!!! I cannot believe how much of a little person he is becoming. It truly blows my mind! In the last few weeks I have seen an amazing change in him. He is really a little person. HIs vocabulary is incredible, he is a little parrot. Most of the time the words translate pretty much on point. Other times you have no idea how one word turned to the "word" he said. And then there is the occasional gem like "outside" which comes out as "asshole." It gets me every time! He says outside multiple times a day because the things he loves these days are outside, water, balls, and cars/trains. Animals he enjoys, but seems to be moving on from them. I love this little boy more than I can ever put into words. My dad and I actually had a conversation today about how much Harrison has taught me in his short 18 months. He has truly opened my eyes to a new world and changed my perspective about a lot of life things!

Recently his accomplishments have been very gross motor. He can climb things that he was unable to before, he seems to have no fear and will go down even the largest of slides at the park. We went to the coop this week and he climbed the rope tunnel without even a little hesitation, like he'd been doing that his whole life. I was so proud! He also climbed the scary metal ladder thing, that did not excite me that much, but I was there supporting him anyway!

He has been very into jumping these days. He cannot get both feet off the ground even though he is close. He loves a good jump session though! He has also been working really hard to try and make a basketball in the goal as well as learn to kick the soccer ball.

2 Months:

He is such a smiley little guy! He loves everyone and just really wants to be held, fed, loved and talked too! His needs are simple and he doesn't ask much. Sweet Dougoo has been an incredible addition to our family!

Douglas was baptized Mothers day weekend. His godparents are Aunt Ruth and Uncle Perry. We had a fantastic crawfish boil afterwards. So  many friends and family were there to celebrate with it. It is fantastic to know that our children are being raised in a world surrounded by those who love them. I can never say enough thanks!
