Q's Faves at 18 Months

Quinn is a year and a half old.  Before I know it, I'll be planning his second birthday party.  Wow.  He's moving out of the baby stage and going full throttle into Toddler Town.  He's started with the temper tantrums.  I know that a lot of it stems from not always being able to communicate to us what he needs or wants.  At least we've been through this stage before with Mia, so we knew it was coming.  He's still our sweet boy, though.  One of his very favorite things is books.  He wants us to read to him all of the time.  "Us" includes Mia too.  She's good about reading him books she knows and making up stories for the books she's not as familiar with.  He wants to do everything that Mia does, so we are constantly having to remind her of that.  The other day she was showing him how much fun it was to jump on her bed.  Geez.  Quinn isn't scared of anything.  Even if he does something that gets him hurt, he wants to do it again until he masters it.  He wants to do everything by himself.  Sometimes that makes me nervous, but I know he has to learn to do things on his own eventually. He still loves baths and runs to the bathroom when he hears the bath water get turned on.  I'm glad, but then he doesn't want to get out after bath time.  He just loves to play in there.

Chocolate croissant. Yum!
