Bacon's Boots Blog: Felix at 18 Months

Felix turned 18 months last week but we all had the flu so I'm just posting about it now.

I can't believe how cool this kid is. How much he knows and remembers. How much imagination is already in his giant noggin. It's crazy sauce. He got a little tikes car for his first birthday. He pushes it over on it's side so it becomes "airplane neeeroooom". No idea where he got this idea. He's brilliant and hilarious and so, so sweet. Sometimes he'll just stop whatever he's doing and come over to Ben or I and hug us or smile at us before the whirling dervish is off and running again.

He can recognize most letters and points them out wherever we go.
He can repeat pretty much everything we say. Easy on the swears.
Loves to yell "TOUCHDOWN!!"
His favorite food is chicken and french fries. Or grapes. Or teddy grahams. The kid eats everything.
Likes to read his books to his stuffed animals.
Getting into puzzles. Elsie (a cow) is his favorite these days.
Gets really, really concerned when Grover crashes into the signpost at the beginning of Sesame Street and (spoilers) when Nemo gets taken in Finding Nemo.
Sleeps 12-14 hours a night and is down to 1 nap in the day.
My favorite time of night is when Ben goes in to give binks and Felix is so sleepy. They have conversations and Felix says, "love you," all droopy and tired.
Such a vain little baby. He ADORES looking at pictures of himself.
