18 Months. Wow. My baby is now a little boy. He's such a good kid. I feel so blessed to have such a smart, creative and clean child. His personality is really starting to show. Calder is very cautious. He's never been the kid to climb all over things and jump from high places. He calls out for me to help him step down a few stairs or if he wants to go down the slide. Even with help he tries to use his shoes to slow him down. I think he gets his cautious nature from his dad.
He is clean. If he falls he wants a wipe for his hands. He eats with a fork and likes it when I wipe his mouth. Thankfully I planted flowers a few weeks ago and he saw it was okay to dig in the dirt. He's started picking up rocks and playing in the dirt a little more. I think this trait is more me.
He likes things a certain way. When he naps his room has to be picked up. If his room is a mess he just sits in his crib saying 'uh-oh' over and over again until we clean it up. He readily picks up his toys when he's done bathing and just about any other time I ask. He likes the tupperware to have a matching lid and will go through the cupboard looking for the right one. I think this one is definitely my fault.
Here's a few tidbits about him this month:- He is obsessed with trains
- He LOVES pears and peas
- If we count to 10 he will say 2, 6 and 9 in the correct spots.
- He has started combining words to make small sentences.
- If you ask him what color something is, he will always say "blue".
- He calls Jason "Nana". It started a long time ago and we figured out that he was actually trying to say "Honey" which is what I tend to call Jason. Now Calder can say "Honey" perfectly but still prefers to call Jason "Nana".
- He loves to tease and be tickled.
Calder took these pictures all by himself. I'd say he takes a pretty good self portrait.

Ah...we just love Calder here in the Bardsley house. :) Grace is hoping to welcome Calder into nursery very soon--even if it is for just a little while. :(
Love the post!! He is so big, I can't believe it! So he will be going to nursery? That will be fun!! Hope all is going well!!
Calder is a very sweet boy. He is really good about letting Riley pet him and smother him!
I read your post before I wrote mine, but had been thinking of what I was going to say in mine. After reading yours, I thought that you would wonder if I was just copying off of you since our kids have some similarities :) Calder sounds like an awesome little guy. I'm impressed by his verbal ability! You two look like you have a blast together all day!
