18 months later.

Happy 18 months, Callan Joseph! You are growing up so quickly and it amazes me at how fast you’re learning.

You are 30lbs, wearing 2T and 3T clothes. You wear size 7-8 shoe and are bigger than all the kids your age. 

You have a deep love for Mickey Mouse and can be calmed down from the biggest tantrum just by turning on the show. “Mimmy” goes practically everywhere with us. As well as your baby. You love that baby and as soon as you grab it, you’re asleep within minutes. 


Speaking of sleep, you are a world different from your brother. You point to your bed when you’re tired and are happy to be put in immediately. No snuggles or stories, just bed. You sleep through the night like a champ. 

You adore your big brother. You give him hugs and kisses and always want to play with him. You can be heard yelling “COOPER!” through the house multiple times during the day.


You have a huge vocabulary. You repeat words constantly and actually remember them. You know several body parts and can say the words and point to them.  

You are a great eater. You had your first salad not too long ago and loved it. You eat all vegetables and fruit and love dipping everything in ketchup. You also love cookies, or “coco” as you call them. You’re favorite foods are probably strawberries, black beans, bananas and cereal. 

You love climbing on tables, the back of the sofa, up the stairs and anywhere else dangerous. Then you grin at me when I tell you to get down. You keep my hands full, but you are a little love. I get lots of kisses and hugs from you. 

You make our family very happy, Callan. Thanks for being such a wonderful little man! We love you!
