18 months old

It is hard to believe Colin is already 18 months old. He is a very active boy and is constantly surprising us with all the new things he's doing. He says about 20 words - although his balloon sounds a lot like his please (but there is a difference what part he stresses depending on what he means). He also knows most animals sounds. He loves to set the table every night (bable as he calls it) and is surprisingly quite good at it. He also has started pretending things when he plays. He LOVES to make soup - everything goes in the pot (all his toys) and he stirs it and goes MMMMMM and then takes a pretend bite. He has also started making "soup" outside with the leaves and his shovels as utensils. His favorite game right now is to take his fire truck and make truck noises as he drives it around. Then uh oh (or ahhh hoooo as he says) the truck crashes and is broken so Colin comes to the rescue, kisses the truck, puts the truck right side up and then drives the truck around until it crashes again and the process is repeated. He has also become facinated with trains after I rented a Thomas the Train video from the library. There was one point in the video where the train is derailed and they have to go fix it, well it scared Colin and he screamed and cried so the train video went back to the library the next day. Only Colin keeps asking me where "Woooo Wooo went (as he pumps his arm up and down) and then tells me "I don't know". He loves animals and is always outside playing with the neighbors dogs. We also go on walks trying to find "cats. He walks with me going Meow meow meow and every once in a while we do find a cat. Which at that point Colin gets so excited he screams and scares the cat away. He also loves his santa clause pj's and doesnt like them to be washed or taken off. Christmas is going to be really fun this year!
