18 Months

Anthony is my little big guy...still.  He is still a little peanut and looks so small but he is getting more and more grown up.  He still doesn't really say any words but he is definitely communicating.  He shakes he head for no and laughs for yes.  He points and grunts at things he wants and understands what we say and will follow directions.  I can tell he is a little sponge soaking up information because without even working with him he can point to his head, nose, eyes, mouth, belly button, knee, and toes when asked.  He is still a mama's boy and wants me to hold him all the time.  He definitely doesn't have the same outgoing personality Casey had at his age.  He is more reserved and I watch him and know he is thinking deeply about everything.  I can't wait til he starts talking but I know it will come when he is ready.

Disneyland

We decided a while ago that we wanted to take Casey to Disneyland for her birthday this year.  Our original plan was to go this past Thursday but when we watched the weather report Wednesday morning it called for a 90% chance of rain on Thursday so we made a split decision to go right then and try and beat the rain.  We weren't going to take AJ on this trip but with the change in plans we lost our babysitter but I am so glad we took him.  Both kids had a great time and they were so good...even with no naps.  It was so much fun to see Disneyland through the eyes of my babies...best Disneyland trip ever.

This is what happens with 2 sisters.

Bedtime Games

Anthony loves playing peek-a-boo with daddy on his way up to bed, so the other day we all got in on the game.

Lunch time

Anthony is becoming such a big boy. He now enjoys sitting at the little table with Casey and can get in the chair all by himself so I decided to let them have lunch there.

Trick or Treat

Trick or treating was so much fun this year however the kids were so excited once we put their costumes on that getting them to pose for pictures was virtually impossible. We went with some friends in the neighborhood, Casey did great ringing doorbells. She did get a little confused on when to say thank you and when to say trick or treat. AJ let me carry him to the first few houses but then he wanted in on the action so I let him walk and he did great walking to each house and picking out candy. He got tripped up a few times but his costume provided great padding to cushion his falls.

After the trick or treating was over I managed to snap a few more pics:

and then I let them enjoy some of their spoils:

Happy Halloween! (Pre-party)

We took some pictures yesterday before the evening festivities started.
