18 months

I have two kids that are now 18 months old. 
A year and a half.
Almost two. 
Crazy.

--Nathan--
This little boys is a teaser.  He loves to put toys in his mouth and then show us how funny it is.  He loves to get chased down our hallway…preferably in just his diaper.  He loves to play with buttons but gets in trouble when he ends up putting them in his mouth, which is every time.  He likes to pull objects out of their box/container and then put them in another box/container. He loves raisins.  He likes to have socks put on his hands to make little puppets or Little People figures put on his fingers.  With these on his hands/fingers he says over and over in his cute little voice “hi! hi! hi!”  He is very good at making noises: pigs, airplanes, cars, chickens, kitty cats, dogs, ducks.  This boy loves his Grandpa Brady.  Nathan likes to tickle Cameron and play chase with him.  Nathan loves to take bubble baths and gets very exciting when he hears the water going in the tub.  Nathan likes to turn on and off the lights and push the Xbox button on and off.  He likes to sit in small enclosed corners/boxes/chairs and play with cars.  When I go to get him in the morning he jumps up and down in his crib saying “HI!” over and over.  Nathan will go running to his daddy when he gets home from work. He loves cars and trucks and every time he sees one outside he’ll say “car.”  He likes to spin the wheels on his toy cars. He is a good snacker, but not a very good eater.  He’ll put things in his mouth to get a taste of it but then spits it out when the flavor is gone...or else he’ll put his unwanted food on Cameron’s tray.  He likes books with trucks or cars in them.  He knows what the word “No” means and before doing something he knows he’s not supposed to do he’ll say “no, no, no” and then proceed to do that which he shouldn’t be doing.  Nathan is a happy kid that says hi to everyone.  He is a good mimicker of sounds.  He studies how your making the sound and then tries it out for himself. 

A few words he can say: cheese, clock, whoa, mama, no, cracker, hi, bye bye, nigh night, yes, nose, ear, car, truck, light, hot, cold, yeah, ball, baby, and of course an assortment of animal sounds—meow, woof, quack, snort (for piggies).

--Cameron--
This boy is a mama’s boy!  He loves to be held and coddled by mom.  He likes to read books and point out the letters or pictures and be told what they are.  He likes books on animals.  He likes to play on/with blankets.  Cameron hates to have his diaper changed.  He likes to point at your nose/eyes/mouth/ear and say what they are.  Cameron likes to watch TV. He likes to bounce up and down and shake his hands (aka dance) when he hears a good musical beat.  He will stand up for most of his bath (maybe he doesn’t want to get his bum wet??).  He is very friendly with strangers and will want to be held by them.  Cameron will stick his fingers in Nathan’s mouth then Nathan will bite his fingers and both of them think this is hilarious.  Cameron still loves to spin things.  He will randomly start to “roll it and roll it and mark it with a B” and then throw it in the oven for whoever is around.  Cameron is a super climber and will climb on anything and everything.  He likes to sit in my lap and watch me draw shapes for him.  He get’s frustrated with his toys when they don’t do what he thinks they should do.  He squeals with delight when he gets to play with the water as it comes out of the faucet.  He loves rolls.  He loves stuffed animals and will hug them and carry them around with him.  He even sleeps with a black bear he got from Grandparent’s Farr that they picked up when they went to Yellowstone.  He loves playing with his Uncle Brandon.  He likes to be bounced on the couch. He likes to play the “nigh night” game (and so does Nathan) in which they will lay down on the ground and start to snore until it’s time to “Wake up!” 
 

A few words that he can say: clock, hot, drink, bear, ball, no, yes, light, cheese, mama, duck, car, meow, mouth, eye, he makes a helicopter and airplane noise when he sees one, truck, nigh night.
 
Both Cam and Nate are now in nursery. 
The Church is true once again!
(okay, it has always been true, but for the past year I have shown up to church only to wrestle and chase after two little boys who refuse to sit still for longer than 1.2 seconds…it has tried my patience and testimony to the max.  Is the church true? Yes, but only after the wee ones turn 18 months! heeehee)
Anyways…
Nursery. Love it. They love it. Mostly. Nathan was crying the second Sunday we went to get him. But he’s gonna deal.
And mamma got her first two coloring projects out of it. They have potential.  

And now for the SOCCER vs Boys PICS!!! YAY!
They are getting so big.
