It's been 4 months (minus the mini-post at 15 months that I forgot about until today). The longer I wait to post, the harder it is to get back into it. Cullen is 18 months old.
Cullen is so much fun lately. He is obsessed with footballs. I mean, completely obsessed. If he is at home, he has a football in his hands and he's throwing it. He's got quite an arm. He can catch pretty well if we throw it underhanded to him. He screams "Go SAINTS" many times a day. One morning, I heard him screaming it from his crib as he was waking up. What have we done to him? He also loves to scream touchdown, especially after one of his throws is caught by mom or dad.
He's a pretty good eater and his favorite foods are still yogurt and berries. He eats them every day. He likes his PB&J sandwiches as well.
He likes to imitate his dad and the tennis players on TV, so he swings his arm like he's hitting a forehand or a backhand while grunting. It's pretty hilarious. He still loves his baths and to 'slam dunk' the basketballs into his bathtub goal (while screaming slam dunk). And he loves reading. He favorite book right now is "Good Night NOLA".
He's prone to temper tantrums, especially if we won't let him go outside or if we make him come inside after being outside. The boy likes his outdoors...except when it's cold. The daycare told us last week, on one of the coldest days so far this year, that Cullen kept walking up to the teacher on the playground and saying 'poo poo'. Finally they decided to go change him, only to find out his diaper was completely clean. Because of his normal obsession with being outside, they decided this was his tactic to get out of the cold. Manipulative little boy :)
He's pretty shy in a situation until he gets comfortable. It doesn't take him too long to get comfortable, but until he is, he completely ignores everyone who tries to talk to him. Once he's ready, he hams it up. He can repeat almost anything we say.
He's also a big dancer. His teachers say he dances constantly. At the first sound of music, he's grooving. He did not get this from his mom.
We are so thankful to have you in our lives, Cullen! You make everyday so much fun (and a lot of work :)).
