I’m honestly in shock.
Lost for words!
My baby, my little baby has changed.
He has grown up.
I’m sad.
No longer a baby but a toddler.
A cheeky one at that!
From this innocent helpless bundle
To this cheeky daredevil.
18 months already!!!
He now has many new words. His vocabulary includes:
- Dada
- Mumma
- Wow – this is his favourite at the moment.
- Dog
- Bicbic (biscuit)
- Dodo (dummy)
- Bed
- Bath
- More
- Now
- Ish (Fish)
- Webix (weetabix)
- Tebby (Teddy)
- Bics (bricks)
- Juice
- Milk
- Jack (his cousin)
- That
- This
- Bar (Barney)
- Peppa
- Nite Nite
- Nanna
- Bob
And a few others which seem to change meaning daily…usually some sort of grunt followed by pointing.
If he wants something or wants to go somewhere he now grabs our hands and pulls us there.
His favourite programme is In the Night Garden and on a few occasions now, if he wants to watch it, he grabs an ITNG toy and the TV remote and hands them to us. It’s just so cute that we can’t refuse him.
He now sleeps solidly for 11/12 hours, most nights.
Climbs the ladder to the slide and slides down, often head first.
He can now climb down the stairs safely as well as up.
He loves his:
Baths
Iggle Piggle singing cuddly
Slide
Toot toot drivers set
Duplo
Big sister
He adores stories and can often be found sitting on Emmy’s chair or a potty with a book in his hand. He can use a fork and spoon – although prefers his hands and he can build a tower with 5 building brick.
He continues to amaze me daily.
My baby is now a toddler – how did that happen?

Awww, I understand also
I know exactly how you feel, my son is 14 today and I have no idea where the time went. He's now taller than me and it's scary to think that just a few short years will see him leaving school!
So lovely to read this. They do grow up too quick.
Thank you for linking up with The Weekend Blog Hop
Laura x x x
Awww its so nice to chronicle their developments and then go back to see how they are at a certain age. Wish ive done this. #sharewithme
Ahhh it is scary how fast they grow up isn't it? I can't believe both my babies are now 2 1/2 and 10 months old almost a year! eeek It flies by. What lovely lovely photos here of your adorable little one through the various ages and stages. I love his vocabulary. He is so clever. Thank you so much for linking up to Share With Me and sharing your lovely post. #sharewithme
Awww my youngest has just turned 1 and I miss having a tiny baby so much, they grow up way too fast #sharewithme
It really is scary just how quickly the time passes but 18 months is such a wonderful age so enjoy and make the most of every second! xxx
Wait until the day you look at him and he's taller than you and growing a beard. Seriously you wonder how in the heck it happened 😀
18 months is a lovely age – and so is 2-3 when they start holding conversations and you get a proper insight into how they view the world – and it all goes too fast!
Your kids are so adorable! ♥ Kids do grow fast indeed, wish the would grow slower haha.
It does seems to happen faster than seems possible- at least you have so many wonderful photographs and memories to hold- I can't believe ours start nursery school next week- I still call them my babies!
They do grow up so quickly. Almost in the blink of an eye. You just want to hold on to that baby phase just that little bit longer.
They sure do grow fast! I wish they would slow down x
aww they really do grow so fast don't they! x
It is so scary how fast they grow isn't it.
Arrr what lovely pictures! It is so scary how quick the grow and develop, it really is too quick x
18 months is such a lovely age. Still babylike, but starting to become their own person – enjoy it!
Aw they grow up so quickly don't they? The next stage is even more fun though x x
Aww! It's so nice too when they start to get a few words and you can communicate a bit more 🙂
It's horrible and amazing all at the same time isn't it. My daughter turned 18 months this week too and I can't help but wonder where my baby has gone 🙁
Time goes far too fast.
Time flies so quickly! He is so adorable!
Kids grow up so fast these days make the most of him. The pictures are so cute.
Time really does fly by! I miss the baby stage but toddlers are so much fun.
They grow up so quickly! My baby just turned 18 ! And is leaving home in September for university! Doesn't seem 2 minutes ago that she was a squashy little bundle!
Wow, 18 months. Time really flies doesn't it!
I think they must have swapped him when he had his first haircut 😉
Hehe you could be right
What a lovely post – but be warners, time seems to speed up even more the bigger they are – it literally whizzes away without me knowing where it's gone these days! Enjoy the next 18 months x
They do grow so, so quickly! What a lovely post. One day you'll wake up and he'll be 15 and you'll really wonder where the time has gone!! x
They grow so fast! Cute little boy 🙂
Wait til they turn 16!! Time flies by so fast 🙁 Love the 18-24 mth stage though 🙂
It does go so fast. Terrifyingly fast. It's lovely that you keep such a detailed record x
Its so shocking how time flys .x
Lovely pictures, Baby is just over a year and that doesn't seem possible. It goes so quickly x
such a clever boy!!! beautiful photographs hun, I'm still searching for that pause button!! x
I agree I love this age – when they are learning, and reminding you how wonderful human beings are. Just the way they absorb stuff, and you remember how hard it was to do things you now take for granted that you can do. He is very cute, and fab dinosaur oneise 🙂
I feel exactly the same! My baby will be 18 months old in a week and I can't believe it – my longing for another teeny baby is huge!
They are so wonderful at this age aren't they? It's definitely my favourite age :D!
It's an amazing age – they are learning daily and becoming independent while thankfully still needing us.
