Blueberries, Blue Teeth

I love blueberries, they are my favorite. They are a special treat because my whole mouth turns blue and I want to eat them all at one time. I haven't had blueberries since my trip to Boise when I spilled them on the airplane and mama had to change my whole outfit and clean the seat. But this morning during breakfast, out of the top corner cabinet came out my blueberries, from their special hiding spot. This is the one thing I wont share with Charlie. My hands were blue, my face was blue, my teeth are still blue.

18 months...and counting.

Well I've officially turned 18 months. Where has all this time gone? I am one happy kid, love to keep movin' and love to laugh.

My passion right now is basketball. I LOVE to play and daddy teaches me all sorts of new tricks- like "The Michael Jordan" where I stick my tongue out while I play; he teaches me to squat my knees and guard; to catch; and to dribble. But no one needed to teach me to shoot, I was born with a good over the head shot.

I also love "soos" (or as other people call them "shoes). I like to bring people their soos, put mine on in the morning, and take them off when we come inside. Mama and Daddy took me into a store this weekend and I ran right to the soos rack. I picked up a cool pair of blue puppy rain soos boots. I ran around the store so no one could take them off. But I didnt get them, I had to trade the soos for my binky. I hope to get some soos boots soon.

I am still a great helper. I feed Charlie every day and take him out to go potty. I get his leash, I put my toys away and I help put other things away too. Helping is fun!

I dont like getting dressed or undressed. And I can throw a pretty impressive fit to prove it. But I do like what mama calls "handsome shirts" those are the kinds with buttons. I love wearing cool handsome shirts, and I also like to wear my baseball hat. They say I look handsome in that too. It makes me smile when they call me this so I run to the mirror to check myself out.

I went to my 18 month dr appt. I am 33" tall and 26.8 pounds. This makes me just about perfectly average as Dr. Zorn says. She said that I am way ahead developmentally because I say lots of words and can put words together. I am also very coordinated and strong. She thinks its ok that I still have a couple of bottles each day and that I get a binky. For this, I love Dr.Zorn. But, her nurse and those shots- no way. I scream but I am brave.

Since my last post, I got to spend the weekend with Nana and Bompa while daddy and mama went on vacation for some alone time. I went to the zoo, twice. I've been to the beach lots. And I got a new ball.

Check out some of my favorite moments- shadow stomping with Nana, swinging with Nana and Bompa, sitting on my ball after a long run on the pier, soos boot shopping, the zoo:
