He is challenging and sweet, tender hearted yet sassy, aggressive yet timid, and so many other things. He officially walked at 14 months but now he runs all over the place doing his very best to keep up with his big sister. They really have turned into quite the playmates and it just melts my heart to see them interact in that way.
He has almost all his teeth including the one year molars, and just waiting on a few more in the front to pop through. He'd been an awesome teether until these last few, we didn't even know when he was teething before but now you can definitely tell!
This for me is always such a hard age of them not really being able to tell you what they want but becoming frustrated so they whine, which makes you get irritated and less patient, and then frustrated, and so it goes. But overall Preston's communication skills are doing great. He knows most all animals and their sounds, he knows and point out most parts of his body (or yours!), he definitely knows the difference and verbalizes the difference between yes and no, he knows most all the member of our family that he sees on a semi-regular basis, and so much more. He just recently began forming 2 word sentences and repeating everything we say - fun fun!
He loves to wrestle and roll around on the floor with daddy when he gets home from work, crawling on my lap to snuggle with a book he's brought me, play Emo games on the iPad, and sing along with a few songs he now knows when I sing to him.
He really is just such a light to my heart and to our family. There are so many days when things are challenging and all I need is a little squeeze or a slobbery kiss all over my face from him to know that things are really great. This little boy has my heart in a special special way and I just know that he will do great things in his life.
Happy 18 months my adored little buddy!
Here's some pictures from the last 6 months:
And of course a little video of him signing with me that just melts my heart - excuse the annoying singing of myself :)
