18 Months

18 Months

AA is now a full toddler. Walking everywhere and finding his way into and out of everything. All items in the house are considered toys. Favorite new English words are hooray, "Brown Bear" (inspired by Eric Carle's book), sock and shoe (properly pronounced "thock" and "thew" by AA). Favorite new Hebrew words are "parpar" (butterfly, again thanks to Eric Carle), ochel (food), challah (bread), and af (Hebrew for nose). He can repeat in English most numbers 1-10 and most of the alphabet although a bit of creativity is needed to interpret some of the numbers/ letters. He uses his 15+ teeth to eat away and loves especially to feed himself yogurts. Below are the typical month pictures, many videos (including the first one ever taken by AA himself, needless to say without us knowing), and pictures that we think capture his personality.

Playing with his favorite "toys": socks and shoes


Hard to believe, but he actually built that block stack by himself

 

Getting ready for Shabbat!
