Isaiah Jae 18 Months


Wow, can I just say how much we love this little man! He can teeth like a beast. Like, full on, demon possessed. But when he's not in pain, he is just SO stinking cute. So stinking fun. So stinking amazing!!!

Happy 18 Months Isaiah Jae!

18 Month Highlights:

-You've been coming on training runs with Mama once or twice a week which is fun. You love being outside! You occasionally nap, but most times just sit quietly and enjoy the ride. Depending on where we run, we sometimes end up at a park and you love to swing! 


-You officially learned to walk this month and are loving doing it! The shopping cart and push toy really helped you get confidence that you could do it. So you pushed those...a lot!

-You LOVE your Daddy!

-You absolutely love to read, and so does Aubs. The only thing you fight over is who gets to sit in Mama's lap!

-Relaxing saturday morning watching some tv in mama and daddy's room

-Santa visit at church

-You came to MCA with Mama 3 days a week for about 3 weeks to practice for big sister's Christmas pagent. You were a rock star! You loved listening to all the music and just dancing along. 

-18 month and 4 year old check ups! You two were climbing ALL over the room waiting for the MD to come in. 


-Electronics...one of your most favorite things! We gave you an older sound machine so you could push all the buttons til your heart was content...which was quite awhile!

-You love taking baths now, especially when one of your sisters gets in to play with you. With 2 older sister you play quite a bit with barbies and dolls : )

-Invading Mama's yoga time : )

-Celebrating Aubrey's 4th birthday

-Christmas Parade time! We had perfect weather! Such a fun night. 




-Thanksgiving with the family! Fun night, good food. And of course, matching cousin PJs!!




Sleeping: You are doing great in the sleep department. Bedtime is between 7 and 7:30 pm, and you sleep for about 12 hours. We usually leave you to play in your crib most mornings until 7:45 or 8 am. You nap once a day, usually around 1 or 1:30 and it can last anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours. 

Eating: You seem to be eating about 14 times a day this month! You are obsessed with crunchy snacky things (cauliflower sticks, veggie straws, hippeas, sugar snap pea crisps, etc). You've been eating oatmeal AND an egg most mornings at breakfast. You like ham and cheese, apple sauce, yogurt, and ALL the fruit (fav this month is bananas).
