Toddler Already!?

So my baby Jonas turned 1.5 years on Sunday and according to Today's Parent, my baby is a toddler! How could that be! I thought it would be fitting to update the life of my 1.5 year old boy!

-Height and Weight: Still have to measure, but I'm guessing he is 23lbs. still
-Clothing Size: 12-18M clothing and size 5 shoes
-Favorite Foods: noodles, muffins, Cheerios, apples, bananas, cheese, ice-cream (Dibs), milk
-Favorite Books: Snuggle Puppy, Peek-a-Boo
-Favorite Toys/Activities: Jonas loves to go outside; he loves to splash in his pool, blow bubbles, pick up rocks, chase cats, play in his playhouse, throw balls, climb and ride in his wagon, shovel dirt in mom's flower bed, run, run, run. When Jonas is inside the house he loves to: play with his cars & train, build with his MEGA Blocks, stack his wooden blocks, play with mom's measuring cups, play with his magnetic cars and animals, dance and can rock out (he does the head bop)
-Some of his many words that he can say include: ball, bubbles, boo, bye-bye, hi, bus, bike, plane, keys, cheese, apple, please, all gone, all done, more, again, bite, puppy, dog, bunny, no, mommy, daddy, papa, aunty, baby, baby GG, hat
-Jonas' bedtime is 8 pm and lately he has been sleeping through the night until 7:30 am. He sleeps with his favorite blue blanket (thank goodness we have 3 of them) and with many of his stuffed animals (puppy, bunny, Tigger, moose, monkey). He enjoys reading and snuggling with mom and dad before bedtime.
-Finally Jonas likes to brush his teeth and he likes doing it all by himself (& then he tries to brush mom's teeth too)!
-Jonas likes to climb in his high chair all by himself and demands dinner.
-He likes when mom gives him airplane rides and bumps.
-He eagerly watches through the window for daddy to get home and when he sees Cory, he gets all excited and does this little dance and yells hi daddy, hi daddy!
-He is still a mama's boy!
-Lately he cries when I take him to daycare but as soon as I'm gone, he his playing, eating and content.
-He takes 2-3 hour naps. Naps are in the big bed.
-Every morning he asks for daddy and I have to tell him 'daddy is at work, bringing home the bacon.'
-He enjoys watching the Pixar Mini Movies especially on car rides. His favorite is 'The Birds'

Anyway, here is some highlights of Sunday:

After sleeping 12 hours Saturday night (he slept in until 9am), Jonas took a 2.5 hour nap in the big bed! This was after we ate breakfast, played outside in the rain and then ate lunch.

After nap-time we headed outside again. Jonas likes to ride on his car - he even pushes with his legs to move forward. This car was $2 at a garage sale and it has been worth every penny!

Riding away from mommy!


Mommy trying to take 'nice' pictures of her big boy but Jonas became distracted by a plane.

This boy just won't sit still.

Finally a nice picture of my handsome boy. This was just before he ran off to play with his toys!

Playing in his 'Princess House'. Yes it is kind of girly but I picked this house up used for a good price and Jonas doesn't really care. Jonas enjoyed throwing balls in and out of his house.

Icing his sore cheek. When we were putting his toys away in the garage, Jonas fell and scraped his cheek on the curb! I think it could have turned out worse, so thank goodness he is ok!

Relaxing in his favorite chair before bedtime!
