Happy 18 Months!

Morgan turned 18 months old yesterday. Today is the first day of his MDO program. I've been up since 5am. My sweet little baby is going to school today! Here are 18 precious things about Morgan in honor of achieving 18 months.

1. It's so precious that you are a man's man. Morgan makes a bee-line for any man in the room. It's almost like you can see that he wants to be just like them and imitate them. He's going to be Dan's perfect little golfing and hunting sidekick.
2. You're still sucking that thumb.
3. You will tell us, "night night" if you are super tired. You are getting to be such a great little communicator.
4. You are a lover... such a sweet sweet soul. You love to hug your friends and stuffed animals. Yesterday we bought your Elmo costume for Halloween and you hugged and hugged it. (It has a giant stuffed Elmo head on it.)
5. You want to figure things out so badly. It's precious watching your frustration when you can't make something do something you want it to do. You'll get there baby! Your mind is just working faster than your strength and your dexterity.
6. You're fast! You can get to an open toilet in about half a second! How did you go from an immobile blob to speedy Gonzales?
7. You are opinionated. You can rarely be tricked into eating something if you don't like a food.
8. You have such a good memory! I'm already amazed at how quickly you pick up and remember things.
9. You want to be like Mom. How cute you are! I guess that my black calculator does look like my phone. You held it up to your ear and babbled into it for almost our entire grocery shopping trip yesterday.
10. You dance on command. Now, that's just cute!
11. You aren't shy. I can take you anywhere and you are ready to be the life of the party.
12. Water baby! I had to turn my face away to keep from laughing in your face when you threw a fit in the bathtub when the water drained out. You laid your entire naked body face down to try to get the last bit.
13. You are such a great little discoverer. Now you are figuring things out and running to either come show me or grab my hand and bring me to whatever you want to show me.
14. I heard you snore the other day. It was ever so quiet. I love listening to you breathe.
15. You are getting to be more flexible. We were able to go until 12:30 for your nap yesterday. You just switched to one nap a day! Freedom!
16. Your teeth are adorable. You have four on top, two on bottom and molars coming in. The next bottom 2 incisors are also starting to make an appearance.
17. You are a sweet kisser. I can ask for a kiss and you pucker up your mouth and make the smoochy kissing sound.
18. You are my little pal. I love spending time with you!

Good luck on your first day of school today baby!
