Happy Half Birthday Vincent!!





Our beautiful little boy is 18 months today! I can't believe he will be 2 in 6 months! He has come so far lately with what he understands and has lots of new words. He is also becoming more and more of a handful lately.




On Saturday morning, I heard our door creak open, but I thought it was the wind since the windows were open. A minute later I opened my eyes and Vincent was standing next to our bed staring at me with a big smile on his face. I sat straight up in bed! Dave and I were a little confused at first, but we put him back in the crib and sat back and watched. Sure enough, he can climb out of the crib now. We tried to set the toddler bed up, but he is definitely not ready yet. He couldn't grasp the fact that he needed to stay in bed and sleep. So, we put the crib back together and lowered the mattress even more so he can't get out...for now.




Anyways, Vincent has lots of words now! He says:


-dada


-na-na (for mama and grandma)


-cat


-hot


-shoe


-"ella" (a baby at his daycare)


-thank you (sounds like ta-to)


-mooo


-no-no




he also signs "more" and "please".




He understands most of what we say to him. If we ask him questions, he will nod his head "yes" or "no". If we ask if he's hungry, he will go stand by his highchair. If we ask if he's ready for bed or bath, he will start to go upstairs. He will close doors if you ask him to and point to the fan! He has developed an interest in reading lately, which is great. The only downside is he loves to read the same books over and over and over again.




It's really amazing to watch him grow and learn. We are very blessed with such a sweet loving little boy.
