Why, thanks for asking...
First of all, I must brag a bit. I'm only 18 months old, but my fine motor skills are incredible. Specifically, I am really good at stacking blocks and have been able to stack 7 of them, on carpet. I'm not supposed to be able to do that until I'm at least 3 years old! In fact, these blocks are part of a toy that is for kids ages 2 and up that I'll probably master before my second birthday. Shhhh...don't tell anyone that I'm breaking all of the rules!
Perhaps my favorite thing to play with these days are stickers! I love to decorate envelopes with them and then take them all off and put them on other envelopes. I also like putting them on my clothes, which has made doing laundry a bit interesting for Mom and Dad lately.
Hey, Mom...can I have some more stickers?
Mom and Dad got me a play kitchen for Christmas, complete with a microwave, oven, sink, and refrigerator, and I love playing in it. Some of my favorite things to make are pepper tea, orange juice, and fried eggplant. This kitchen has been great for my language acquisition, too! It's really helped me learn the names for so many fruits and vegetables.
Hmmm...should I add oregano, cinnamon, or ginger?
I think my shirt has room for a few more!

My love of food extends beyond the imaginary world into the real world as I am QUITE the sophisticated eater. Of course, I like the typical toddler foods like macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, french fries, and chicken nuggets. I also eat my fair share of goldfish snacks and fruit snacks. But, what I really love are foods with some zest or spice! I love fruit, especially oranges, bananas, lemons, apples, kiwi, and any kind of berry you can think of. I love spicy food including jambalaya (the spicier the sausage, the better), hot wings, burritos, and pizza with jalapeno peppers on it. And I could eat beans every day: black beans, green beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and of course, jelly beans. Did I mention that I like spinach and artichoke dip, too?
Here's me eating a hot dog and some cheese:
Mom and Dad got me a potty chair because I've been fascinated with flushing the toliet and may be ready to start potty training. Here's me sitting on my potty...well...kinda...
I certainly like wearing toddler clothes and with all of the walking I've been doing these days, I've been wearing shoes more often. Do you like these shoes? They were my daddy's when he was a toddler, and now he's passed them down to me.
Hey, if I keep growing, maybe one day I'll be able to fit into these shoes, Daddy!
Um, can I get some dip (aka ketchup) please?
Yum...ravioli! (Notice my mastery of the fork!)

I love spending time with people and am very sociable. My Uncle Mike came to visit me one day and we talked about the many benefits of wearing hoodies!

Looking good in my new kicks!
