What a cute and fun age!
It seems that almost everyday, Will is doing something new or making some kind of new, funny face! He's getting smarter and smarter each day. He's becoming more independent and shows signs of frustration when he can't do something that he is wanting to do (such as get the shape through the correct opening in his shape sorter). He's such a happy little guy and, for the most part, is pretty go with the flow.
It's hard to believe that he is already 1.5!
18 month stats:

Head Circumference: 48.25 cm (74th percentile)
At 18 months:
~sleeps from 7:30pm-8pm to 7:30am
~occasionally takes a morning nap and an afternoon nap. We are beginning to transition to just an afternoon nap. Afternoon naps are about 2.5 hours-3 hours.
~is eating a little bit better. He still has his moments where we only takes about 2 bites of food, but I don't let it bother me anymore. Whatever---he'll eat when he's hungry. Other meals, he seems to eat a decent amount. Who knows? We're doing something right because he's now in the 27th percentile...the highest he's ever been!
~some of his current favorite foods include: applesauce (duh!), salad (I think it's more of a vehicle for the salad dressing, but I'll take it!), diced pears, apples, mandarin oranges and grapes. He will also eat broccoli, especially if it is dipped in ranch. In fact, he will eat about anything if it is dipped in ranch or ketchup.
~continues to love his milk, but won't really touch water anymore.
~signs really well and has learned to sign "please" when he wants something.
~has started saying a couple of new words--apple, ball, shoes and uh oh (previously it was "oopsie").
~knows his animal sounds and will say them when prompted.
~LOVE LOVE LOVES to be outside
~maybe even more than being outside, he loves to swiffer and vacuum. He asks me at least 50 times a day to get the vacuum out....Honey, Momma doesn't vacuum every day...
~loves babies and is really sweet with them....will hug and kiss on them.
~is doing great in the church nursery. No more tears!
~has been obsessed with Mickey Mouse (and still is), but he loves his children's nursery rhymes video and wants to watch it everyday. If I turn on Mickey, he will say "bye-bye" and pick up the remote to the dvd player for me to turn on the nursery rhymes video.
~had his 3rd haircut!
~has 12 teeth.
~is very smart and loves to have a task. He will take his diapers to the garbage can, put his shoes back where they belong in his room and take our clothes to the laundry basket.
~seems to have a very good memory!
