Noah: 18 Months

by Mindi Stavish on October 12, 2012

I can barely believe I’m posting Noah’s 18 month update. How can it be that he is already a year and a half?! Just sheer craziness! This month has brought so many changes. My little baby is no longer a baby, but a demanding, opinionated, climbing, boisterous toddler full of love and energy.

18 Facts for 18 Months….

1. After falling off a potty chair, you bravely were stitched back together.

2. Your vocabulary is exploding with new words heard everyday. Your favorites include batman, ball, touchdown, mama, mommy, daddy, and kitty.

3. You are passionate about animals. Whenever you see our kitty you squeal with delight. You wanted to jump over the fence at the petting zoo.

4. You shriek, roar, and yell just as loud if not louder than your brother.

5. You love spaghetti and meatballs.


6. You hate having your hands and face washed.


7. You still hate your car seat.


8. You love walking home from daycare.

9. All of a sudden, you don’t want to nap or go to bed at night. It now takes you almost an hour to fall asleep at night.

10. You still nurse before bed.

11. You love riding on my back in the Ergo Carrier.

12. You love helping mommy with baking and cooking. Your favorite thing to do is to stir the bowl or pot.

13. You just adore your brother and are never far from him.

14. Your quite the silly boy and your giggle is contagious.

15. Your starting to learn your body parts and love patting your head and belly.

16. You are very observant. Just the other day you picked up daddy’s electric razor and tried to “shave”. Thank goodness he was right there watching your silly antics.

17. I wish I could put you in a bubble because you are quite the daredevil! You want to climb absolutely everything you can!


18. You make my days brighter with your bubbly personality and your red hair.

I love you Noah James!

I KNOW. I say that every month but now for sure. They are getting closer to 2 than they were to 1. I’m soooo not ready for that!!

Awwww…too adorable! They grow up so quickly. The photos remind me of our local pumpkin patch – so many familiar scenes. I can’t wait to hit the corn maze! Have a wonderful weekend! :-)

He sounds so much like my 18 month old! They are crazy little buggers, aren’t they? But so SO loving and lovable.

Yes crazy for sure but oh so loveable. Love this age…then again I say that with every age. Well, maybe except 3 LOL. Three has been very challenging with my oldest!

Gosh. He is absolutely adorable. Love his red hair. He’s my daughters hair twin… she had red hair like that when she was little. :)

What a sweetheart. I love the pictures! And hearing all about his adventures.

Don’t forget to breathe, Mom. These boys can be hard on moms!

oops! I meant way too fast. I don’t know what happened, but I promise you I am not drinking. I’ll blame it on a 15 month old and lack of sleep.

haha I know all about lack of sleep. My 18 month old has decided he now wants to wake up to nurse at least 2x per night. Ugh! Growth spurts are the worse.
