we just love this little guy so much. He's our little stinker butt.

here are a few things he's up to these days...

1. he loves to go buh-bye. it doesn't matter who with..he just wants to go. he will even get his shoes from his room and bring them to you!

2. he loves loves the baby Einstein movies. i dont know what it is be he could watch them over and over again.

3. he almost knows how to count (and by almost i mean he only knows the number 2. and when he says it it really means "daddy throw me in the air" in matix language)

4. he loves bath time and anytime he gets dressed he repeats bath bath bath a million times.

5. reading books is his all time favorite thing to do. its the bedtime ritual and he is not happy until we read together. when he knows it's bed time, he says "book book book" until we give in.

6. he loves his grandpa more than anyone else. and recently started calling him "papa." my dad was so excited.

7. every day at 4 "papa" and matix watch bonanza together. as soon as matix hear's the infamous song he starts saying "horsey. horsey. horsey" (they are made for each other)

8. he is almost pro at peek--a--boo

9. he gives "high five" and "bump it" on command. he especially loves when you "boom" the "bump it"

10. he's horrible in nursery now that he's finally able to stay by himself. he scream and screams until grandpa comes and plays with him and the other kids. (I think my dad needs to be called in there. he's perfect for the job. and i know he secretly enjoys it)

11. he loves bikes, tricycles, and his fire truck. (he can ride that thing forever)

12. he is super ticklish.

13. he is more of a little man than a baby anymore.

14. yet he gives the best snuggles.

15. he still dances whenever he hears music. its pretty dang cute.

16. he and his daddy love to play video games together. matix has his own controller and his own bluetooth earpeice. :) he is the biggest copycat. anything youre doing..he wants to do.

17. anytime we get in the car, his shoes and socks are the first things to come off..and then he continues to say "shoes shoes shoes" the majority of the ride.

18. he is super soft to babies. anyone little, whether they are his age, older, or younger, are all "babies" in matix's world. he loves babies!!

happy 18 months little boy.

you sure are loved!!
