18 Months

I can't believe its been 18 months!!  I wish I didn't say that every month but I am truly amazed, it has gone by so fast.  My little boy is getting so big!  Finn is obsessed with technology.  He loves our phones, cameras, computers, and any toy that is electronic.  This month, he decided he wanted to hold my camera while I was trying to take his pictures so he ended up mad and with his passy.

• Finn still weighs 26 pounds but is taller than last time.  I feel like all his clothes are getting to small but I guess its because he is taller and they have been washed a lot.  We are ready for warm weather for new clothes.  He sti4ll wears a 4 diaper and 18-24 month pajamas.
• I had to buy Finn new shoes this month and he now wears a 5 or 6 depending on the brand.
• Finn learned how to shake his head "yes" this month.  Its actually funny how hard this is compared to saying no.  He also said "I want" for the first time too.  I didn't teach him that.
• I feel like he doesn't say that much but he babbles all the time and makes almost all the different sounds.  He does say about 10-15 words but every once in a while he will bust out with a word that is totally random.  He absolutely understands me though and he is great at communicating with his fingers and showing me what he wants.
• He is so hyper sometimes.  His favorite thing in the world is to be chased around.  He laughes so hard and it is precious!  He is obsessed with vehicles right now, especially trucks and construction vehicles.  He points to tiny things like planes and birds.
• Finn has also begun the copycat.  The other day he was outside helping Cade grill and Cade spit.  Finn is now spitting.  Cade laughed so hard but I'm having trouble getting him to understand not to do it inside.  He wants to do anything his Dad or Pops does. 
• He has been sleeping so good and I feel like I'm in heaven when I get 8 hours of sleep.  I put him to bed at 8 and he has been sleeping to somewhere between 6 and 7 (which is way better than 5 or 5:30). 
• He has been doing so good at the gym now and I even have to chase him down to get him to leave with me.   It makes me feel so good that I can leave him in there and have some mommy time but also know that he is playing and having fun,
• He got another haircut this month and it makes him look so big.
• Speaking of his passy, we are slowly trying to get rid of it.  He doesn't usually have it in his mouth during the day but in the car and at sleep times.  We still haven't weened off the bottle at night and the morning either.  He refuses to drink milk out of a sippy cup so we are currently tackling this problem.
