Little Naughty Turns 18 Months...

Little Naughty...

As he's been lately -- is 18 Months old today.

And did you know 18 months is the official "flood gates open" to the terrible twos and thunderous threes at our house?  Well, it is... oh, the change that is brought on by this magical age.  :)

Ace a' Spades has such an interesting view of the world...

He has never once paused and thought, "I wonder if I can do this."  He just watches his little buddies and trails along after them like it ain't no thang.

He will never remember bathing alone... although it does, on a very rare occasion, happen.

And it is kind of magical.

He thinks he is the cleverest little boy on the planet.

And he might be right...

His naughty intuitions are ahead of schedule, of this I am certain.  

 He knows far too much about trouble... {where would he ever learn this stuff?}

And if ever there was something that trumped his advanced knowledge of "Capital T-rubble", it would be pretending he doesn't know a bit about it. 

I mean... the apathy is astounding.

On the flip side, our Acers is the snuggliest of all our babies.  Hand him a book and he is yours for as long as you'll let him flip and flip and flip through the pages.

Pick him up and that little noggin' gets laid right there in the sweet spot - the crook of your neck - for a silent snuggle.

He INITIATES hugs and will grab you from behind and make the "mmm-wa" sound of a kiss.  It's a miracle, I tell you, that I'm not chasing another baby boy around begging for smooshies.

For his half birthday wish, I wished he would stay 18 months and a little bit naughty forever.



And it better come true.

Or I'll be forced to say good night and good bye to the days of counting his age by months...
All too soon.



Love you little man.
