Happy 18 Months!

Dear Baby Boy,
For some reason I'm having a harder time with you turning 18 months than I did on your first birthday!  It's like you're becoming a boy now, and pretty soon you'll be two years old!  How is time flying so fast?  We must be having a lot of fun!  ;)

You have just the sweetest personality!  You can still be shy and nervous around strangers and out in public, but you continue to open up and try new things as the months go on.  At home, you are a ball of energy and love playing with your puzzles, train set, and the magnets on the fridge. You also love playing with mixing bowls and stirring all kinds of yummy "ingredients" (like blocks and legos) inside!  Running around the house and playing chase and peek-a-boo with Daddy is one of your favorite things to do.  During the day, Mommy loves to take you to the playground or pool, and watch you play.  You love the slide, and have no fear in the water!  You are a little fish!
