18 Months Old!

Tavin is 18 months old! (tomorrow) Our little man isn't so little anymore. He is so much fun and keeps us very busy. He is always exploring and will climb on anything. Chairs, tables, couches, toys, playground equipment, cats...he will climb on it! He is talking more and is very observant, so watch what you say and do around him because he will repeat it. He likes to look out our window in the living room that looks out onto the street and watch the cars go by and say, "vrrrrrrrrrrrrr, errrrrt!" Between Tavin and the cats the window is covered with face prints, hand prints and little kitty nose prints. Oh well.

Tavin and I have been visiting the library weekly for story-time and of course to play with the toys in the toddler section. He started out a little shy but is now comfortable with the library and the other children that attend story-time. Tavin is also getting some time with different baby sitters and handling his time away from Mom and Dad like a big boy.

Tavin's soon to be little baby brother or baby sister is doing quite well. His/her heartbeat has been around 152 and is very active. He/she was extremely active the other night when we went out to have Toby's cheese balls and chicken. I am definitely showing a baby belly which is much better than just feeling chubby. Now that there is evidence of a baby belly, I've started to talk more to Tavin about there being a baby in my belly. I'm only about 4.5 months along so Tavin has some time yet for it to sink in.

We are finally having some nice weather and we are taking advantage of it too! We went to the park today to explore and play. Tavin likes to run and watch the other kids play.

This little guy is hard to catch!

Extreme close-up! Tavin likes to charge at the camera.

Just look at those precious moment eyes!

Fun on the swing.

Weeeeeeee!

Oh, what are those kids over there doing?

What are these little things crawling around here?
