18 Months Old!

Our little Steven is a whole year and a half old now!  His language skills have been growing in leaps and bounds as he is learning new words all the time, and loves imitating the sounds things make, especially animals and vehicles.  He has become quite the little copycat, mimicking what he sees people do.  Most notably, he has learned that we hold hands and pray before a meal, so he holds out his hands, saying "pray" to remind us - and does it several times per meal!  So we've been doing lots of praying around the dinner table.  Steven also has a growing love for things with wheels and that go "vroom", and continues to love dancing to music and being chased and tickled.  We got to spend lots of time with family over the past couple months, with two trips to visit my family and two weeks spent in Ontario with Jesse's family.  While flying with a toddler had its challenging moments, Steven particularly liked takeoff, landing, and the turbulence, saying "weeee!".  He loves spending time outside, particularly playing with dirt/sand, water, or rocks.  He's an adventurous little guy, climbing, running, and exploring the world.
