Our boy is 18 months old!

Today our sweetie is 18 months old! He hung out with dad for awhile so that mom could go get her hair cut and then we went out for In N Out and Joe had his first strawberry shake to celebrate! Joe was pretty easy for his dad today...he took a nap in his big boy chair/recliner thing and fell asleep on his own...NEVER would he do that for his mother, he doesn't even take a nap when his mom is home. Joe is still a picky eater, but he is getting better. He LOVES cashews, thanks son for picking the most expensive nut to like and he really likes pretzels. He had a doughnut muffin this morning for breakfast and actually ate that. Chocolate is his favorite drink, it is chocolate milk, but we only say chocolate and cross our fingers that he'll drink it. He is becoming quite the little talker, he was attempting to say shoes yesterday but it came out as a funny s- word that Steve was like, Jen did he just say what I think he said? It was pretty funny. I love it when he says keys, please (sign and talking), more (sign and talking), thank you (sign), moo, woof woof, yeah, no, and boo. He has started doing this hilarious thing where he'll throw his head back, start laughing, and do his total cheeser face with his eyes squinted. I don't know if he is imitating us or what, but he was doing it tonight when we were walking to our car and these people passing us started cracking up because of it. His kisses are excellent, depending on how much he likes you he'll open his mouth that wide. Our friend Kristen got a big lick on both cheeks when she asked for a kiss!
Joe, we love you so much when you are so peacefully sleeping and you are our little angel,
but we love you just as much when you are doing something crazy that cracks us up...Peek a boo and hiding behind the doors are a new thing for Joe. I assumed he was hiding behind the bathroom door. Since it was dark, I once again assumed nothing could be going on, until I walked in and he was in the corner applying mascara just like he sees his mom doing and he thought it was pretty funny. The cleaning off part he didn't like so much since he got some perfectly on his eyelashes! Time flies when you are having fun with a sweetheart boy! Happy 18 months baby!
