He's Eighteen Months Old!

Yes, that's right. My baby turned eighteen months old today! So sad! He even went to nursery yesterday! It was a day early, but Pete was tired of dealing with Jaron in nursery, so when I came back from taking Shay to nursery, he was gone! I was a little shocked and sad! I thought I would be there when my youngest went to his first day of nursery. It was probably better this way, since he's kind of a mama's boy. He did really well and they didn't have to bring him to me once! I was amazed! Of course we'll see what happens next time when he knows that he's going to be left.

Jaron has started talking a bit. He says, mama, dada, diedie (Bye, Bye), nienie, Tatu (thankyou) and his favorite- high pitched screech meaning get me a drink of milk right now! It is fun to have him start talking so that he is able to communicate a little bit.

Jaron loves to sing! In church, it can be a little bit embarrassing, but it is so cute that it really isn't. He sings really LOUD! In fact yesterday, Shay was trying to get him to be quiet because she thought he was yelling when he was singing at church. I said, "It's okay he's singing," Shay looked at me like, "are you kidding?" It was pretty funny.

Jaron favorite thing to do is to play ball. He loves balls. Any kind of ball, football, basketball, pingpong balls. tennis, you name it he loves it! He comes up to you and throws the ball at you and then you catch it and throw it at him and then he goes and chases it. It's his favorite game.

Jaron also loves Elmo. All I have to do is sing, "La, La Lala, Elmo's World!" and he gets such a huge grin on his face. It is so cute. The only problem with this is that none of our other kids liked Elmo, so we only have one DVD and I am so tired of it! I am so excited for Santa to bring him a new one.

Jaron is such a joy! I am so grateful to be his mom. He is so sweet and cute! Happy eighteen months, Jaron!
