18 MONTHS OLD

On Wednesday, June 24th you will be 18 months old. And of course I continue to miss you daily that's a given. But I can't help but wonder how busy I would be. You are now way past the excitement of a first tooth, learning to crawl & walk. You are way past saying the small words like "mama", "nana", "baba", & "dada"(even though you didn't really have a dad to begin with). You would be combining your words now. You would be saying "I drink milk", "we go bye bye", and maybe even "love you", but I am pretty sure you would have some cute baby accent. I can only imagine how much fun I would be having with you right now.

I also know that you would be hearing the word NO, NO quite often. I know that you would be climbing all over the place and maybe even kicking a ball. You would actually probably be giving me tons of SCARES!! You are a boy and I know how boys are. Boys always take chances and are big dare devils. You would be probably harrassing your sister even more now, since your movements have inproved and your faster on your feet. I would have to be the referee. I would also be finding ways to drain your energy and hope for a good nights sleep.

NO MORE Bottle would be my goal by now. Notice the word "goal". You were a head strong little boy the 3 weeks you were here so I know you would have challenged my decision. I mean at 2 weeks you had already figured out that a paci doesn't give milk and you didn't want nothing to do with it if your were hungry.

YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH FUN AND I WISH EVERYDAY THAT YOU COULD HAVE STAYED!!!

LOVE YOU,

MOM
