Mitch is 18 months now and I just can't believe it!! He is growing up so fast!! He makes me so happy, but he also makes me so crazy sometimes! Like yesterday at church when he was screaming during Sacrament meeting cause he wanted to run around. So since he was already screaming, I pinched him while I was dragging him out! Does that make me a bad mom? Probably... I had to really take a deep breath to not join him in the tantrum he threw afterwards! Luckily he also has other very wonderful and sweet moments that get me through the crazy ones! He definitely has personality and knows how to work us over with being cute or extremely stubborn! Seth and I are working as a team in the battle of who is boss though and I think we are winning.. well at least in the lead! We had the battle of the century(I truly hope it doesn't get worse than that!) over him wearing a leash at CA Adventure 2 weeks ago and we were pretty embarrassed about the show he put on, but we stuck to our guns and didn't let him win. It was so hard, but we got our reward later when he wore the leash with no problem!! YAY!! We enjoy parenting him for the most part and definitely discuss and decide together how and what we want for him. I think that is what helps me so much, to know that Seth is behind me and I know it helps Mitch not be confused. He is really starting to understand what we are saying(even though he isn't always following) and consistency is going to be our best bet with him I think!! This little man is STUBBORN!!! Mitch is dancing a lot now and it is so cute!! He loves to do "Ring around the rosey" and will fall down at the end, right on cue! He has fallen in love with slides! A few months ago he wanted nothing to do with them, but now he does all on his own! He is pretty much running everywhere now, as fast as his chubby body can take him! We get a kick out of how funny it is to see his cheeks shaking as he runs around! So funny! He has become more cuddly and clingy this last month, which we LOVE!! We went away without him for a few days for our anniversary and by the last day I was so sad to be away from him!! Seth was getting annoyed at how many times I said I missed him! :) I can't help it! He seriously is my everything and I'm so blessed and happy that he is mine! Here are ALOT of pics and video from this last month and some pics I took of him today!
