Kirby: 18 months

 

 

Kirby, at 18 months you...

 

are 88.5 cm

take a size 6 shoe

have one nap in the day

sleep roughly from 8 pm to 6 am

have turned into a proper little boy

have started to draw and make your marks

love dancing, climbing, running, and playing chase

love playing with cars and balls (and have one heck of a throw)

LOOOOOVE eggs, grapes, berries, sun-dried tomatoes, and mashed potatoes

say "mamma", "nom nom", "hiya","nej" (no), "ajja bajja" (kind of like "don't touch"), "ta", "ee-a" (Aoife), "there", "Lola" (as in Charlie and Lola), and a few others regularly, and babble lots

have learned to open/ unlock most of the internal doors, plus the side door (which has led to some wet outdoor adventures in your bare feet!)

like helping out (bringing things to the table, putting things in the kitchen/ fridge/ cupboards, tidying up your toys)

are getting more comfortable being around people you don't know (as long as they don't touch you till you're ready)

suck labels for comfort, and sleep with tiger and a muslin square

adore and try to copy your sister in everything she does

 give great hugs (very generously)

are a cheeky monkey!!! :)

 

Love you lots!

What a sweet boy! Beautiful pictures and words, and I love his hair colour! I always wanted to have natural red hair when I was a child. (And now I sometimes pay a lot of money to get it).

We definitely have to meet up next time I'm in England. I really should have thought about it before I went, as, after a week in London, I spent last week in Hertfordshire visiting a friend, and when we passed xxx (edited by Carin) one day, I thought that I had read somewhere that you lived there.

What a beautiful boy! And what a sweet tribute from Momma. Thanks for sharing this, Carin! You choked me up and made me smile!! xoxo

Katja, his hair is actually a really odd colour. It has streaks of red and blonde, so you don't know from one day to the next what it's going to look like. Some days it's more blonde. Some days it's more red. It's cute though.

That would be so much fun!

Thank you Marie! xoxo

What sweet pictures of your son! He has a beautiful smile and twinkly eyes.

What a sweet lovely boy he is. That was the quickest 18 months ever. They grow so fast. These are such lovely pictures Carin. At the moment I'm writing from Gotland, where we're visiting family and friends. Enjoy your summer with your ever growing family. They're just very sweet.
