Why We Love This little Guy!

Little man Kade, aka the terror, the taz, crazy little dude, and the monster, is officially 19 1/2 months old and boy do we LOVE him! Insanely, insanely stubborn, opinionated, crazy quick-tempered and bossy, yet sweet, super duper silly, lovey, and a cool little guy. He absolutely refuses to drink milk out of anything other than a bottle (so yes, unfortunately, he's still taking one). He'll push the limits as far as he can (like he knows that he can go to the very, very edge of the driveway and toe the line between the cement and the road, but hey, he's not IN the road exactly and he looks at you exactly with that written across his face).
He is a crazy, picky eater. One day loves something, the next day, physically dry heaves if you feed it to him! He knows what he wants and is very persistent until it's given to him (mostly out of frustration to divert his attention or because he's extrememly loud and nutso until it's given to him). I've had some of those "moments" in the grocery store when he's THAT kid screaming insanely and people are giving me "THE LOOK" (yeah, I know, you've all done it or seen it and given the look...so have I, and I'm now on the other end of the spectrum!) He's hell on wheels this little guy. He wants to do everything the big kids are doing and doesn't doubt he can! He has crazy strength and can climb on or up pretty much anything. He loves to hang. Hang on monkey bars is typical, but he'll hang on the table, the stair rail, the towel rod, the closet bar, etc....His wonderful napping schedule has gone with the wind and it's been a struggle to get him down lately but he'll nap a few hours in the afternoon at least so Reagan and I can have some one on one time to work on homework, a craft, or just veg. But he's like myself and his sister, quite unpleasant to be around if at all tired.
He's been slower to talk than Reagan obviously, but he's got some good language going on now. His favorites are sissy, mommy (which applies to both Mike and I), hewwwoww (hello), papa papa(which he always whispers), oovie (movie), wooee (woody), (yesee) Jessie, cheese, side (outside), shoooos (shoes), icccce, uh oh I deed it, oh gwoss (which is usually used to describes bugs, anytime he lifts the toilet (he he), and if you get a boogie outta his nose, and HEY! HEY! (which he says loudly and usually while washing his hair, changing his bum, or trying to get him to do something he doesn't want to do). He's very polite though and always says pleeessss and tank u. He'll now repeat a lot of words you say so that gives us hope that one day he'll start forming sentences;)
He loves, loves to dance and has music in his soul (like his sis!). He loves movies, getting dirty (pretty sure he's never clean and his clothes are always stained), playing with rocks, running anywhere and everywhere, jumping on dad, pestering sis, and eating anything chocolate. He's got great coordination with things though. He can put the ball on the tee, hold the bat properly, and whack the ball off. It's been a crazy ride already and 100% opposite of the way Reagan was. But he's 100% boy and boy oh boy do we love that!!
Pointing and saying "shoooeeesss"


Oh yes, this kid can rock pretty much any crazy do out there ;)
