Happy 18 months to my little boy!

I truly don't understand how time goes by so quickly. William is already 1 1/2! He has a terrible cold and ear infection, so he's a yucky, boogery mess. I'd like to get some pictures of my little 1 1/2 year old tomorrow.

This little boy has flipped my world upside down and made it sooo much better. I love him more than words.

Some William facts:

1. when he sleeps he sleeps with his head up against the rails.

2. he frequently sleeps on his tummy with his bum up in the air.

3. his favorite word is "alleluia" and he loves to sing along with Ella and me

4. he runs. all over.

5. has a little bit of a temper

6. loves his big sister so much. always wants to be with her.

7. now owns a stroller and a baby because he loved ella's so much. he even talks to his baby. (cutest thing ever)

8. gives really wonderful hugs (but is less giving on the kisses)

9. loves being outside. he'd hang outside all day long if I'd let him

10. is finally starting to enjoy books. His favorite ones are Trains, Boats, and Airplanes by Byron Barton as well as The Wheels on the Bus (he likes doing the wipers).

11. is very affectionate and will snuggle right up to you.

12. loves to sit in my lap (and I love it too!!)

13. still not a big fan of swimming pools, but loves the bath.

14. loves animals, especially dogs. points and "talks" excitedly whenever he sees one. (uh-oh, is a dog in our future?)

15. is a real climber. on chairs, tables, really anything. (very unlike Ella)

16. has a wonderful bond with daddy. he hates when daddy goes off to work.

17. is currently cutting his eye teeth.

18. has the most infectious little laugh. and what makes him laugh the most? silly things ella does.

19. loves his side tickled and kissed.

20. has been going down slides all by himself for a few months. and loves to walk up them too.

21. is very attached to his green alligator blanket.

22. only takes his binky at bedtime and when he's sick.

23. always, always shares his toys with ella. all she has to do is ask him for what he's playing with and he'll give it to her.

24. ella and william often hold hands in the backseat in the car. (so sweet)

25. when we read Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, he joins along and waves his pointed finger around like I do when the doctor says "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

William is so sweet, loving, happy and wonderful!! He's brought so much to our lives. :)
