Remy is 18 months old!
I just can’t believe how fast time is going by. His check up is in a few weeks and he’ll be
getting more shots but then he should be done until he's 2! He’s quite the
little man. He’s a lot like me in some
ways and a lot like Phil in others. A) He
looks exactly like Phil did at that age.
At least he has my blue eyes. :) B) He loves to see how things work and take
things apart just like Phil. Everything
that has batteries that doesn’t require a screw driver to open he takes apart and pulls
the batteries out. So we have to take
the batteries out of those toys unless we want to play with them and the remote goes up high. He also has to figure out exactly how his toys work. C) He’s impatient and stubborn like me. He wants things done his way and
quickly. If he can’t figure something
out he gets frustrated and throws said object. I'm not exactly proud of this trait we both have.
D) He likes to dance and be silly like me. Phil typically doesn’t like to make a fool
out of himself but I’m all for it when it’s just Remy and I. He’s got my dance moves. By that I mean he has none. Haha.
Sometimes he drops it low and it’s the most adorable thing on the
planet. But usually he just spins in
circles and calls that dancing. Still pretty darn cute. E) He’s
anal like me – things need to be done just right or placed in the correct spot just so. He also has to have doors closed. If they are not closed he will close them. F) He’s a clean freak like both Phil and
I. Likes to wipe up messes, pick up
crumbs, vacuum and mop. This doesn't mean that our living room doesn't turn into a tornado aftermath zone. He does like to make a mess too. But he doesn't like to get his hands dirty. G) He's a creature of routine like me. He knows when he's supposed to go to bed, wake up, eat breakfast, watch Curious George, play, etc. He doesn't like when things don't happen when they are supposed to. This morning I had to wake him up early to leave due to the snow and he didn't get to watch most of Curious George and leisurely wake up so he wasn't happy about that. H) He’s not into
cuddling like me. The only time he
cuddles is when he wakes up in the morning, after his nap, when he’s really sick
or if he’s just plum tuckered out.
Otherwise he’s go, go, go.
Remy is currently getting over strep. He had a cold for about a week and it wasn’t
a very bad one but then got a nasty fever that wouldn’t go away and we took him
to the doc. She did a strep test and was
positive. So the poor little guy has had
a rough week. I thought he was feeling
better yesterday but he spent the night coughing up a storm and couldn’t seem
to sleep. Hopefully he’s back to normal
in no time. I hate seeing little ones
sick. At least we're on the upswing now.
I'm not quite sure where Remy is on the percentiles these days but he seems like he's right on par wearing mostly 18 month clothes, some 24 month. We just bought him the cutest rain boots and he adores them. I caught him putting his rain boots on the wrong feet the other day OVER his footy pajamas. So cute. He was pissed at me when I took them off to put them on the right feet. Kid has to have things his way.
I can't wait for all the things we can do this summer. Now that he's walking and started talking he will enjoy the outdoors a lot more than last summer. He didn't start walking until October and winter came right after that so he hasn't been outside much since then. I'm excited to see him run around in the grass with his bare feet and chubby thighs and arms out. :):)
Remy is getting quite chatty these days. He attempts to copy every word we ask him to say but if he doesn't know how to say it it always comes out as "dah-dah". Current words that he can say: banana, Remy (his personal favorite), dada, mama, bye-bye, hi, juice, boobies (thanks to daddy), oh wow, please, grandma.... there are more but I just can't think of them all. Animals sounds he knows for sure are: cow, duck, doggie, cat, pig (sometimes).
When people come over (which doesn't happen all that often) Remy has to bring out pretty much every single toy he owns to show them all off. Justen and Ashley were over the over night and he pulled out every toy and gave them to Justen and showed him how they work. Within seconds he was on to the next toy.
Remy loves bath time, playing with the dogs, dancing, figuring out new toys, being outside when it's nice out, eating food (mac-n-cheese, fish sticks, brats or hot dogs, spaghetti, citrus fruits and most condiments are among his favorites), then throwing food to the dogs, walking on his own, being independent, sleeping on his tummy, sleeping with puppy, moose AND monkey (must have all three).
Remy currently dislikes being held down or forced to sit in your lap or be held when he wants to be free, dislikes many forms of potatoes, going into time-out (what child doesn't), or being baby gated in our living room if we aren't in there with him.
