18 Month Pictures

He did so well at his 18 month pictures! You would never know that he (and I) barely slept the night before, and he cried for about half the car ride to St. Louis because he couldn't sleep. He is such a fun, happy, intelligent little man...who doesn't like to sleep. Thank you Starbucks for keeping Mommy awake!

His poor nose had a tough time with the coffee table :(

Little chef

He LOVES to help cook. He helped make the cookie he is eating. He would put sprinkles on everything if I would let him. We made cupcakes about 2 weeks after making these cookies. I was so impressed with him, cause when the timer went off, and we both ran into the kitchen...while I was grabbing an oven mit...he was opening the drawer to get a spatula! He must have thought that all things you bake need a spatula (like the cookies did) so he grabbed one to get ready. Too smart!!

Growing too fast

He has really started looking and acting like a little boy rather than baby...where did the time go?

Little talker

He loves to talk! Only problem is that most of the time it is in his own language. We think it is a mix of babble and German.

Plotting

He is trying to figure out how to get his way all the time, instead of just 90% of the time.
