In his eighteenth month, Jonas is: spinning our heads with his language explosion (his newest words include: color, water, tractor, truck, slide, popcorn, sunblock, leaf, and sunshine AND his newest two-word combinations include: see DaDa, more DaDa, my DaDa, play out, play car car, orange juice, kick it, get it, hold it, get down, PePa (Petra) bone, PePa toy, flower MaMa, hold MaMa, and cozy MaMa); repeating anything/everything we say; honing his eating with a fork/spoon and coloring skills; figuring out how to turn the dishwasher on; putting himself to sleep for nap time and bed time (most of the time); telling Petra to come and get down; walking on tippy toes; becoming quite the climber; taking a shine to certain books that he could listen to over and over (his recent favorite is “The Foot Book”); waving to his shadow; and affectionately dubbing his favorite blanket “coz”.
