Oakley's 18 Months

Can you believe Oaks is 18 months?!?! He has turned into quite the little toddler and has even started to throw a couple of those terrible two fits. He is saying so much these days and his latest phrase is "Thank You." At home, Papa and Gran's, and Papaw and Nana's he talks all the time! However, his babysitter and Sunday school teacher's have informed me that they have never heard him say anything. His babysitter (Ms. Linda) says occasionally he will call her "inda" but that is about it. His daddy was always pretty shy (in fact I always tease him and say that he never even spoke the whole first year we were dating.) Oakley reminds me a lot of his Daddy in many ways. Oakley also loves to ride ANYTHING, 4-wheeler, tractor, wheelbarrow...you name it - if it moves and he wants to ride it. In fact I would say "ride" is one of his favorite words! He also loves to wrestle! You cannot sit in the floor without him coming over and trying to push you down. Many afternoons are spent wrestling with Daddy and Avery. And I won't lie, sometimes I even enjoy getting in on the action! Oakley also loves to cuddle with Mommy (he is still quite the little Momma's boy) and eat! He would eat all day long if we would let him and he has yet to ever spit anything out. A few of Oaks dislikes would be washing his ears and older men with beards...they really freak him out. He is really growing up fast on us. We no longer have a baby in the house that is for sure. Here are a few of his 18 month pictures I took. He was not in much of a mood to smile, but I still think they turned out pretty good. Enjoy!
