I am SO behind on this blog – getting caught up slowly – but this was written a little over a month ago!

On October 28th – Fitzy officially turned a year and a half – 18 months. It’s crazy!

It’s gone SO fast overall and sometimes so slowly day by day. Looking through his month pictures – I can’t believe he was ever so tiny.

He is such a little toddler now – it’s hard to imagine that at one time he didn’t walk – didn’t babble – didn’t give kisses.

He loves farm animals. He can moo like a cow – bock bock like a chicken – cock a doo like a rooster – roar like a lion and dinosaur. He moves his head out when you ask him what an elephant says. He loves to read. He loves to cook and clean. He loves Barney and Fraggle Rock. He understands SO much but doesn’t say a whole lot of words. He babbles almost constantly – repeating himself quite a bit. He has said I LOVE YOU – 3 times – and only to my sister. He LOVES his grandpas and grandmas. He eats a TON and weighs 31 lbs. He is in 24 month to 3T clothing. He has one bottle at night about an hour before bed. I still rock him to sleep and sing Silent Night – every night. He hates socks. He loves to throw balls. He brings it up by his eye and looks at the ball and looks at you and then the ball again and aims – he’s a pretty good shot! He is beautiful and wonderful and such a miracle.

I love his little belly in that shot! I was kinda sad – it’s 18 months – that’s a big one – and I was only able to get pictures of him in his jammies – around the house in our horrible lighting. It’s been raining all day – so no handsome little man pictures today.

He LOVES his dadda!

I got him this little cow on a shopping trip. He dances and does a split. Within 30 seconds of having his chubby little fingers on him – he now ONLY does splits.

ROAR – like a lion!

I got this picture in the attic and planned on giving it to my friend Belinda. Fitzy took one look at it and has been carrying it around mooing. He is so cute about it – it’s his new favorite.

Fitzy – I love you SO much. You’ve changed our lives and our hearts. Happy half birthday baby boy!
