1.5 years old

My sweet baby boy is definitely not a baby anymore at 1.5 years!!!!  To me, he has stayed a 'baby' longer than Charlie, mostly because his walking took soooo long :), and because he is just starting to talk.  BUT - he is growing up and quickly becoming a fun little brother for Charlie.....if only Charlie would see it that way!

Over the past month, Moe has pushed out two of his canine teeth, and the top two are right behind with his gums opening up and making room.  For the first few weeks Moe was up almost every night for some advil assistance, but settled quickly back to sleep (thankfully).  I knew something was up because Moe is such a good sleeper.  Plus, those teeth were pretty visibly pushing out the sides of his gums - the teeth were right there :).  So there we go!  Four more molars and we are done!

Moe is also starting to talk!  Daddy, denden (Treyden), Momma, and more are very common.  Bubble was the first non family word that came out.  He pointed to bubbles in the sink and said the word.  I was a little shocked - I was not expecting him to say bubble :).  He has just started saying hi, and bye - and he definitely is trying to say more words like dog, but it comes out 'dou' - without the 'g'.  Hearing him talk and try to say words is pretty priceless, maybe even more special than the first time around.

Even though he isn't saying much, I can pretty much tell what he wants, when he wants it :).  I always wondered how parents knew what their children needed, but I guess we just do. 

On a final note, Moe is a persistent little guy.  He often wants to do what is brother is doing, and will let me know his displeasure if I ruin his fun.  This dude is going to have his fair share of tantrums, or wait, they have already started! :)  But he is also a fairly independent little boy.  He does not require his Mom and Dad to watch his every move, and is quite content to play in the basement or outside as long as mom or dad are in the same vicinity. 

Moe you are such a precious addition to our family.   We are so thankful and blessed to have you in our lives.  Stop growing up so fast!!!
