The boy turned 18 months on Oct 1st! What I love about him...
--when we pray with him before he eats he folds his hands (like he's always done) but now he repeats after us, "Dear Jesus.......(and at the end of our prayer) Amen." It melts my heart!
--he's obsessed with elephants and birds. At his 18 month appt the other day, he wouldn't stop pointing at the elephant in the book he was looking at and making the elephant noise for the dr. and nurse. He cracked everyone up.
--he's very efficient at his "chore" that he has to do now. He crawls down the steps to the basement and grunts until I look down at him pointing at the dirt outside Heman's cage. His job is to use the dustbuster to vacuum it up each day. He LOVES using the dustbuster and is very good about cleaning up every spec of dirt on the floor around Heman's cage.
--he started sitting with Gene while he's watching hockey and clapping for the players when Gene claps. Gene couldn't be more proud of his son during these moments. :)
--he finally successfully signs "please" instead of signing "more" for please and more.
--he's eating A LOT these days. He must be hitting a growth spurt (weighed 25 lb last Thursday). He comes into the living room, grabs our hand and pulls us into the kitchen to the refrigerator. He knows where we keep the goods. :)

--he's very compassionate towards other kids. When another child is crying he immediately goes up to them and gives them a hug. Can't wait to see how he is around his little sister/brother.
He loves to chill on his beanbag and watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Whenever Mickey calls for "Toodles" to come help him solve the problem, Callan tilts his head back (just like Mickey) and repeats after him, "Oh, Toodles." It cracks me up.

I have to say, first of all, I love your blog and second...I must have a gigantic kid. Liam is 6 months old and he weighs around 20 lbs!!! This is a little embarrassing ;-)
