Deacon is 18 months!

So I didn't blog many pictures of Deacon the last few months because as they get older they don't change as much. Deacon is now technically 19 months old, so here is a little update about the last 4 months. Deacon is typically a very happy baby. He does have a good scream on him now though. If he wants something, he will definitely let you know. I've never had a screamer before, so it's been a new adventure! He started nursery a little early on the second Sunday in January. 

He certainly did not love it to begin with. The last few weeks he has gone right in though and he is doing well. It helps to have a wonderful nursery leader in Sister Zill who made it her mission for him to like her ;)

He has begun to feed himself, and although messy, it is really nice for me to eat dinner with the kids and not wait til he's done. 

This boy is so funny! He likes to talk to us when he is eating and is always clapping and laughing.

This is his normal face. He is always rolling his eyes!! I have no idea who he got that from ;) HAHA

He loves to get ready with me in the morning and loves the feeling of the blush brush on his skin...he laughs the whole time!

He always has a cheesy face and loves to look at himself in the mirror ;)...that he got from his father.

Our little Texan!! He got a staph boil on his face a month ago and I am praying it doesn't scar forever, you can see the little red patch under his right eye and thankfully it's fading.

He is always sweating!! His hair gets so curly when he is sweaty. This is a picture after his brothers soccer game. He loves loves loves playing with any kind of ball. He kicks the soccer ball, or throws the baseball or basketball, and then he will try and dribble the basketball to. He has a pretty good arm on him! He is pretty coordinated for an 18 month old.

Since Ella and Cavin are at school, Deacon spends most of his days with Channing. Channing tries to be loving and helpful, but often times she just ends up bugging him! What are big sisters for??

They do still have a fun time together.

He throws literally everything, but he is such a sweet kid. He loves to eat, and play with balls. He loves strawberries, grapes, graham crackers, fruit snacks, yogurt, and string cheese. At his 18 month appointment he was 33 inches tall, and 28.6 pounds. He can say about 15-20 words. Some of them are Mom, Dad, Ella (every single one of his siblings he calls Ella;)), Ball, num num, ink (drink), oh wow, yay, no, thank you, down, lub you (i love you). When he smells and I ask him if he needs a diaper changed, he will say "kkkk" for yuck and I know he needs to be changed. He also loves music. Especially the song "Popcorn Popping" and "Glorious". He is now officially down to one nap, as I really needed to get places and the two naps were cramping our style! We are so glad we have been able to have him for 18 months. He brings so much joy to our family!
