Starting with 18 months, I am going to do these every-other month!
* Jack has some sporadic, but severe, separation freak-outs. At times, if I go upstairs (while he is downstairs with Steve) he screams. He screams if I go into another room. We visited Santa today (pic to come in the near future) and he just kept his arms out reaching for me. We got one ok picture. Our "teacher" at class, who is a development expert, says this is very common at 18 months.
* He says "fuff fuff fuff" for "woof" when asked what the doggy says. He also makes a funny elephant sound. Besides this, we often think he is saying /trying to say words all the time (eyes, keys, computer, giraffe, house, daddy) but never are 100% sure if he really is!
* He knows many body parts and can point to some animals and truck types in books. However, our "teacher" said it isn't great to quiz toddlers a lot as they sometimes get really anxious making what should be fun (reading, etc) worrisome to them.
* He is obsessed with trucks. It is his favorite word and he only wants to read books with trucks in them (even if they are minor parts).
* He is, for lack of a better word, brattier. If he wants something he shouldn't have, he screams, cries and pouts for quite some time. He sometimes refuses to be put in the highchair or stroller.
* His nighttime sleep couldn't really be any better. He goes down easily at 8ish and is up at 8ish. Napping has gotten less consistent. He refuses to nap some days which means I end up driving around in the middle of the afternoon to make sure he sleeps at least a little. Overall, I can't complain about this.
