18 months! (a day late)

Today Hayden is 18 months! He can go to nursery next Sunday!! *faints* So here's what he weighs now: 23lbs And he is still 31 inches long. New things: He's able to climb without help onto most couches and chairs. He loves to be outside, He loves to "drive" (play with the steering wheel). We were at Cracker Barrel this weekend and we let him play with the peg game, and he was able to actually put the pegs in the holes! He loves to take legos apart and try to put them back together (and he's gotten really close!)He loves to "help" around the house, he closes the shower door for Daddy in the morning (then he claps, sooo cute!) He likes to shut the car door when we get out of the car (he claps when he does this too!), He shuts the dryer for me, helps me close the dishwasher too! I guess he just likes to close things.He also knows how to open doors, not just lever handles, but doorknobs too!! And he loves to turn lights on and off. He's such a helpful little guy! When we go to bed he turns the light on in the bathroom to brush his teeth, then turns it off when we leave (then he claps, LOL) and he does the same thing when we turn the light off to go to bed. Adorable! I don't think on his 17 month post I mentioned all of his words, so I'll do that now He says Hi, Bye, Cat, Meow, Dog, Cow, Moo, Up, Down, More, Out, Car, Truck, Tire, Anya (Tawnya, his aunt), Awi (Ari, his cousin), Momma, Dadda, No, Grandma, Towel, and Brian swears the other day he said Computer. He's said a few sentences too! Aunt Rachel heard him say "Go outside" and Aunt Tawnya and I heard him say "Light on!" He still jabbers away in "Haydenese" but he's really beginning to talk a lot more! He's just adorable. I'm so glad he's my son, we have a blast together. :) I'll post a picture when I get online tonight :) Who needs pictures when I can post VIDEOS!! I mentioned earlier how much Hayden loves to "help" around the house. Apparently he was watching his Aunt Tawnya vacuum today, here he is "vacuuming" the house with my parent's centralized vacuum system. You can hear him making sucking sounds while he does it!!
