one and a half

My sweet Silas is 18 months. How did that happen? One and a half years old..

As sad as it is to see less of my little baby and more of my toddler, this is such a fun age! 

Every day I am in awe at how grown up and smart he is. He is constantly making me and everyone around him smile and laugh. Here are some of my favorite pictures of him from the past week. 

There are too many cute things he does for my brain to remember. And these memories are too precious to forget. 

some of the things he loves right now are:

Playing the guitar and singing with his sweet little voice. It is the cutest thing. 

Any kind of music. He loves to dance to it - his best moves are the head bob and spinning. This kid will spin until he falls over. 

He loves his Buddy (his lovey). He always finds the corner of it and rubs it right under his nose.

Saying no. Definitely his favorite word right now. It's still at the point where it's cute.. we'll see how long that lasts though. His other favorite words are mommy and daddy, which also make up for it :)

Some random & cute things he does:

Number one on my list right now is how Silas communicates "yes". He says "ahye" in the most adorable/excited/happy voice. He also has a little bob that he does with it. There's no way to explain it, so I'm going to have to post a video. I don't know how he started saying it, but I do know I love it.

He likes doing anything that a big boy would do.

He always takes our hands and insists that we follow him to whatever he wants. 

He laughs and laughs. All day at anything. He has the best personality. He's also super ticklish. 

He signs the words "please" and "more" all the time and it's so stinkin cute. It may have taken him months and months to learn but it has been wonderful. He also speaks the words too, now. 

Oh Silas, you bring your dad and I so much joy every day. You are the sweetest, smartest, cutest little guy we could have been blessed with. I just wish time would slow down a bit. But I cherish the days and memories more than you'll ever know.
