eighteen months

Our little guy hit 18 months on Monday.  He had his first official day in nursery at church on Sunday.  He played for the first twenty minutes and when he realized that I was not in the room anymore he climbed up on one of the teachers' laps and fell asleep.  Just like James.
At the doctor's on Tuesday he weighed in at 24 lbs 12 oz and 32 inches long.  I can not believe that he is getting so big!
The latest Matthew words:  uh-oh, Mama, Dada, ball, chicken, hey, cookie, away, ho ho ho, choo choo,  uh-huh.  He loves to read books, lightsaber fight, tackle his brothers, ride on his buzz lightyear car and his brother's firetruck, build and destroy block towers and play with his daddy.  He has the best laugh- something between a chuckle and a belly laugh.  Take a look at this picture and you can almost hear him.
