Preston is 18 months old now and showing every minute of it. He squawks and whines when he doesn't get his way and will not stop until you figure out what it is he wants. I do not speak jibber jabber so I spend a lot of my trying to decipher the different high-pitched squeals. Usually what he wants is to be allowed to do something all by himself. Oh yeah, I remember this "stage". Dylan became independent long before now so I thought Preston was going to be okay with Mommy helping him a little bit more. Boy was I wrong! This is a busy, often frustrating, but super fun age. His latest quirk is twirling around and around with his arms behind his back until he falls down. He just laughs, hops back up and does it again. He's also quite into bopping along with or shaking his head back and forth to music (or anything that appears to have rhythm). Silly little guy! I love these messy yogurt pictures. It shows just how much control I have lost...he attempts to eat his yogurt by himself and makes a huge mess and then gets to play in the bathtub. No wonder he's so happy! I have pictures of Dylan with messy yogurt pictures that look just like this. They're starting to seem more and more like brothers - they wrestle, play, fight and are so protective of one another. I love it!

He is so cute...I love the pictures of my kids all messy. I just wanted to share and idea that one of my sisters-in-law shared with me when my first one was teething. Frezzing the Go-gurts them just put then in the microwave for about 10 seconds they get a bit softer but still frozen and ready to eat. I still do then like that for my kids. They love them and I think of it like a healthy popsicle. I also like that this way I don't worry about them going bad. Just an idea the way he eats or tries to eat his yogurt is just adorable.
Actually I have tried that before, but I'd kind of forgotten about it. The problem is I ALWAYS have regular yogurt for the adults and we seem to run out of go-gurts. I guess I need to stock up. Lately these kids are eating me out of house and home - growth spurt I'm guessing. Preston LOVES anything that comes out of the freezer too so that will probably be great for him. Thanks for the idea!
