18 Month Milestone

I am frequently in awe of Nolan...lately more often than not. He seems to go through developmental spurts. Awhile back it was his vocabulary. All of a sudden he was adding a word a day. Now, he is adding less each week...but using them FREQUENTLY. His current favorites include:

-Applejuice (I believe this is the first and last word EVERY day...and a million times during the day).

-Pizza (which actually means food, and not pizza in particular)

-Bumblebee

-Bubble

-More

-Thank you (sounds like Tank Too)

-Please (sounds like Peas)

-Up

-Down

-Nolan (sounds like No-knees)

Surprisingly, No is STILL not part of his vocab. Yay us!

Last night he even started experimenting with putting words together. He was trying to convince me that he NEEDED applejuice on the way home. I was driving and after his 421st time saying "Applejuice?" and me saying "Not right now"...we had this little exchange:

Nolan: "Mommy?"

Me: "Yes, Nolan"

Nolan: "No-Knees Applejuice?" said in the CUTEST voice ever.

It was soooo sweet...but he still didn't get applejuice.

Last night we went out to Sushi for dinner. Nolan surprised us yet again. He ate quite a bit of pickled ginger, california rolls, fruit and whipcream. He is such a great eater! He's growing like a weed and eating to fuel that growing. In fact right now he is gobbling up a tuna sandwich, a couple hand fulls of grapes and a string cheese. He is going to eat us out of house and home! :)

I know I have more, but he's asking to get down. I'll update with photos soon too!
