19 Months

It's like each month just blends right into the next,quicker and quicker now that Will is getting older.  I'd like time to slow down every once in awhile [except when dealing with separation anxiety, see below, then it can speed up again] so I can soak in my little man more.




Helped set luminarias up on Christmas Eve [but really, mostly enjoyed playing with the wheelbarrow].
Really got into the "ripping" part of opening presents.
Loves watching Curious George [add on to this, he's just starting to sit thru a cartoon/show.  It's still rare but he's done it once or twice].
HAS to give everyone a head bonk, a high 5, knuckles/pound, and a kiss when he's saying goodbye.
Still will snuggle with me and drink his milk after he wakes up in the morning and after naps.





Will go down a slide again [he had the weirdest fear of them after loving them a few months ago].
Enjoys brushing his teeth -- he'll run into the bathroom and peer over the sink and repeat "baa, baa" for brush.
Really has learned how to dance and groove to music.
Language has EXPLODED!  He now has about 10 words that he uses consistently and appropriately [and even said a two word phrase (more apples/more crackers) TWICE!!]  The SLP in me is super proud :)

Words he says: cookie, cracker ["cacker"], apple ["a-po"], open ["o-pa"], ball ["ba"], yucky ["gi"], book ["bu"], brush ["baa"], daddy ["daggy"-probably my favorite to hear], mamma ["ma"], and hi.




Has become OBSESSED with electronics -- mostly my phone [to watch home videos of himself, narcissist, hahaha] or to play games on the iPad.
Likes to move people, physically [push/pull your legs or arms to what/where he wants].
Wearing mostly 18 month clothes [with the exception of pants, still mostly 12 months but are starting to be a little high-watery for him]. 
Bad bad bad separation anxiety [nursery is a nightmare, leaving him with friends/family is tough...opinions/knowledge is VERY much welcome in this area.  I know it's probably a "phase" but it's definitely worse than most peers is age].




Water bottle hog
Holds our hands in public [cutest thing ever when he reaches up for it].
Likes to nod his head now [he's forever been in the head-shaking business].
Answers "where" questions when looking at a book.
Soccer star??  See above video...
Mastering the spoon [see video below].

William is growing up so fast - he's turning into a real little boy! Love all these pictures!

Adorable!! It's crazy how fast they grow. :( My kids almost never look back when I drop them off somewhere, so I have never had to deal with separation anxiety... I wish I had words of wisdom! At least you know he really loves his mommy! ;) Good luck!
