Quentin: 17-18 Months

Quentin’s official 18 month appointment isn’t until the 30th of March. 

Likes: All the toys! (especially cars, trucks, etc). Snuggles, his Scout, music of basically any kind, wrestling with Arthur, tickles

Dislikes: Napping, not having all the toys, being told “no,” being confined to the stroller

Sleeping: I get irrationally happy when Quentin takes a nap. At this point, it happens 2-3 times a week. That’s it. The rest of the week he’s up and running from 7am to 8pm. 

Eating: Starting to show more pickiness when it comes to food. He’s enamored with throwing his food on the dining room floor. Ugh! He’s still way more adventurous with food than Arthur, but I see it starting.

Playing: So much play! He loves to drive his cars all around the house (and sometimes on me). He loves to dance around to music. There’s always lots of running and chasing in this house. And he’s really gotten into climbing and slides at the park/indoor play place.

Milestones: Still no official English words although he is very good at communicating his needs and wants. Plus, he usually understands simple commands “go get your shoes,” “put your plate on the island,” “where’s your bis (blanket)?” 

Out and About: Still trying to do two activities outside of the house every week. In the past two months, we’ve been to the Oakland Zoo, Bay Area Discovery Museum (twice!), Ardenwood Farm (baby goats!), Chabot Space and Science, Totland Park, Seven Seas Park, and Mel’s Play Place.
