Life As a Torres: Jonathan at 18 months

-Talking up a storm. His most common phases these days are: "Whaa oo oohing?" (what are you doing?), "Air our ooo?" (where are you?), "Ishing" (Fishing), "OOOO-Gross," and every time I change his diaper he likes to point to his penis and declare to me "penis, penis." And if I am telling him to do something, he'll ask "Why?" or "What?"

-The other night after I had put him to bed he woke up crying so I decided I would rock him to sleep. Having a precious moment with him; me looking down upon his ample cheeks and resting closed eyes, I sigh, "Oh JohnJohn" and he replies in this deep manly voice, "What?" Makes me laugh everytime I think about it. Proof that he is not my baby anymore.

-For the most part he calls Isaiah, brother. Sometimes he will say "Saiah" but usually he'll say, "brother, brother air our oo?"

-While Isaiah is busy mimicking everything Jaime does, Jonathan is busy copying everything Isaiah does. Just one example: Isaiah recently got potty-trained so Jonathan likes to sit on the potty too.

-He is obsessed with fishing too. Every morning he goes to the garage door to beg for his "ishing pole."

-He has grown attached to his crib blankets. He sleeps with an assortment of them, but in the morning when I go to get him out of bed he has been grabbing one of his blankets to take along with him.

-He loves wearing his baseball hat.

-He still LOVES his bottles of milk.

-For the most part he sleeps through the night, but occasionally he'll wake for a bottle around mid-night. He does night fight his sleep. He is great about going down for his afternoon nap and to bed.

-I've noticed his physical abilities exceeding to the next level. He has started to run and take on the park jungle gym as though they are nothing.
