Stryker's 18 months old

You're already 1/2 way to your 2nd birthday, big boy! We can't believe that time is flying by. So much has happened in the last month.

1. will have your adenoids removed & tubes put in your ears on September 30th

2. starting a curriculum today at school as well as potty training (pics below showing you in your new little boy underwear which you love)

3. still laugh at yourself - it's hilarious to watch you act silly & crack yourself up

4. finally your 12 months shorts are getting a little tighter so we'll be buying some bigger sizes soon

5. wearing size 5 diapers, size 5-5 1/2 shoes, size 18-24 month shirts (mostly 24 for the length)

6. new words (of course you only say them 1-2 times & then act like you don't remember them): doughnut, baby, love, thank you

7. blow kisses after you say "bye" or "bye bye"

8. moved you into a different room upstairs: we made the hard-wood study into your big boy room so that your old room can become the nursery; you cried as daddy took down & moved your crib but quickly loved the big room after everything was in it's place
