18 months Letter

~this is you and your grandpa Dave learning how to play golf

Dear Son,

Yeah, you will finally go to nursery! 18 months when you are on your mission for sister missionaries, mean you get to go home and when you are baby, it means to get to go to nursery so that I can sit still in Relief Society, well unless you don't like nursery then you still go with mommy to relief society :)

You are such a big boy now. You are talking a lot more and have developed your own little personality. Life has been so busier lately but having you has brought both your dad and I together in a whole new level. We just love you so much. You love us too because you give us hugs and kisses all the time. We just love that you do that! I just hope you won't stop when you grow up. You talk so much now even though we hardly can figure out what you are saying but we enjoy listening to your little voice. You points at things a lot and that helps. You call every kids and babies "bubba." You also have developed an appetite just like your father. Your dad and I just laugh at how much you eat. I usually joke to your dad by saying, "I would probably have to go to work just so that I can feed you and bubba!" You love to eat nuggets from Costco and you love to drink caprisun. For breakfast, you will eat oatmeal if I make it and you also eat cereal. We love that you are so healthy and full of life. There isn't any boring moment in our house. You keep me on my toes! You love to climb on our dining table and sit there and play with the microwave. We just thave to keep an eye on you and make sure that you are safe. You are so smart at this age! When we want to change your diaper, we tell you to go get your diaper and wiper and you will run into your room and grab them. When you return, you will quickly lay down (usually on your stomach) and all ready for us to change you. We smile every time you do this. Another thing that you do that just melts my heart is that when you know you are in trouble you stick your lips out and go uuuummmmaaaaaa to us. Also, when you pump you head or any part of your bodies, you come running to us to kiss it better. The special part is when I (mommy) pump my hands or knees on the door or table, you quickly run to me and wants to kiss it better. This is just so cute! You understand more than you can say at this age.

Some of the words you say (that I can tell)-
*uma (kiss in tongan)
*buba (baby)
*to (fall in tongan)
*mama
*dada (daddy)
*No
*top (stop)
*go
*bye
*hi
*hey
