Scottorn is 18 months!

Scottorn is 18 months today. Where has the time gone? He is a fun and sweet little guy. He is getting to be quite a handful. He is super-busy and loves to be loud, imagine that! He loves his family. He loves snuggling with daddy on the couch and he loves to play with Lily, probably because she always helps me with him. He loves to be outside and cries when we bring him in. He loves to explore and is getting into and onto everything. All the chairs are strapped to the table with bungee cords and all the stools are kept on the counter tops so that he cannot get on them. He climbs on the piano if the bench gets left out. He climbs on the dining room table and swings the chandelier and dances. He still loves the toilet, but thankfully the gate is helping with that for the time being. He has started trying to climb it so we will see how long that lasts. He loves our fake horse. He knocks him down and kisses him all over. He loves his little golden retriever webkin and kisses his nose when he snuggles him. He is starting to talk and says, "What is that?!", hot, uh oh, ouch, momma, dadda, he tries to say Lily, is starting to say thank you, he pants like a dog to say dog, signs more, please, Jesus and thank you. He is starting to hit and he thinks it is funny. He is surprisingly very strong and it hurts when he does hit. We are working on being calm. He doesn't like to share my lap. He thinks it is for him only. He loves to spin and laugh and stomp and yell and growl. He climbs all over the couches and beds and knocks everything off the girl's dresser. He takes two naps each day, both about an hour long. He is up between 5:30 and 6:00 every morning. I am hoping to move that to about 6:30, but he doesn't like that and screams until I get him. I have been getting him to bed around 7:00 this past week and I love it! He doesn't mind it so that is nice. He isn't a very good eater, too picky. I am also hoping to work on that. All in all he is just FUN! He makes me laugh and smile every day and often makes me a little crazy too, but I love him. He is ALL boy! He is a joy!
