My Little Adam, he is such a joy! Since I am not a regular blogger, I am going to try to do this on a regular basis, my friend Karen does this about her little girl:
18 things at 18 months:
1) Adam's favorite, and practically only word we understand is "DaDa" He says it whenever he hears the garage doors open when Steve gets home from work and runs to meet him at the door.
2) Speaking of speaking, I SWEAR that he said "Bye, Love you" yesterday when I told him to say it to my friend, Helen. I am the only one that heard it, Helen was distracted at the time! Adam also repeats LOTS of babble phrases over and over.
3) Adam love running and pushing his push toy and "steering" it around the house.
4) Adam loves going outside on the deck in the evenings to play in his sandbox and spot airplanes, we are so lucky that several days a week the flight patterns are right over our house.
5) He also loves closing doors, taking everything out of cabinets and drawers and turning on the stove.
6) Adam is now the one officially in charge of giving Molly her treat every night.
7) When he goes to bed at night, after our story and lots of kisses, he lays there, doing Lord knows what(time to get a video monitor) for anywhere from a 1/2 hour to well over an hour and then when he finally goes to sleep, he puts his butt up in the air and tucks his doggie and blanket under his tummy! He usually blurts out a final babble before falling fast asleep for his usual 11 or 12 hours.
8) Adam loves to eat fruit, any kind, but the only veggie he will eat is broccoli.
9) We go to the pool at least 4 times a week and he loves being in the water.
10) One of my favorite things he does, and has done since he started walking, is he will go over to his books, pick one out and come over to you and plant himself on your lap to read to him. Sometimes it is one book, sometimes it is five!
11) Adam's favorite pal is Brady, our neighbors son, who is 15 months...Adam shows him how much he loves him by pushing and pulling him over and taking his toys away from him.
12) We are working on learning the alphabet-his favorite letter right now: K because it is the letter he notices the most hanging over his changing table(he has the alphabet all over the room).
13) Adam is trying to run right now and it is so cute how his chest gets out ahead of the rest of his body so far he looks like he should almost fall over backwards!
14) After his bath, he loves for me to swaddle him in his towel and rock him like a baby and sing rock a bye baby to him.
15) His sign language repertoire consists of: more, please, thank you, all done, cereal, banana, apple and baby-it is so fun to communicate with him, he is a sponge for learning them right now.
16) Adam loves turning on Steve's record player and dancing to what ever record is currently on there
17) Hide and seek and Peek-a-boo are still his favorites and the way he tilts his head when you see him is so cute it makes your heart melt.
18) Cars and trucks and pushing them around making sounds is a favorite activity as well as climbing on everything. I'm pretty sure his next sentence will be "Adam, Mommy said NO"!

What a great post! I loved reading about all the things Adam can and loves to do...and his mommy's sense of humor! Can I ask at what age you began using sign language with Adam - or did you do it from the beginning? I think it's a great way for babies unable yet to speak to be able to express themselves.
Hey Tammy-I started using a lot of these same signs with Adam when he was about 9 months old-but not very consistently(and my husband was not much of a participant). At about a year old, he would clap his hands for "more"(he now does the real sign for it)...and just in the past month, he has become a sign sponge...I need to spend more time. It really is nice for him to be able to tell us when he is thirsty and hungry and "all done" and "more"...I especially love the "more" when it is around tickling, playing games, etc...
