Eric Update



Eric is getting so big, he's already 19 months! He just gets more and more fun every day. Here are some of the things he is up to these days:

He loves to dance. Any kind of music and he is right there, doing his running man move and bouncing up and down, twirling, raising the roof, you know it, he got the moves like Jagger.

He can blow kisses.

He loves being chased. He knows all the places we don't want him to go so he can get us to chase him.

He loves his buddy Jack, or "Guck Guck" as he calls him. They are the cutest little buddies and get so excited every time they see each other.

He can say his name, he points at himself and says, "Fafa." Close enough.

He can also say cracker, night night, mama, dada, Jack (pronounce "guck"), cheese, shoes, bye bye,  makes almost all animal sounds, says "vroom!" for cars, trucks, and motorcycles, five (for a high five), and lots of other little things I can't remember right now.

He is obsessed with containers. If he can find a little container and things to put in and out of it, he'll stay at it for a good half hour.

He loves brushing his teeth, we do it about 3-4 times a day, it would be more if I gave in. It's not an OCD thing, it's a fun/yummy toothpaste thing.

He loves keys and 'opening' all the doors for us.

He just started loving swimming and is getting good at holding his breath-which is good and scary for Mama.

He can throw a good tantrum. The violent kind that he ends up hurting himself by throwing his head against something. Super fun. Still love him lots of course.

He is a binky addict and there aren't any signs of that changing any time soon.

He gives kisses by leaning in and bumping foreheads. Cute, but painful.

His 18 month stats:  Head size-95%, no surprise there! I can barely get his shirts on!
                                 Weight- 27 lb 5 oz 75-90%
                                 Height-33 in 75%

He is so sweet and we just love this little boy to death!
