Talking

Maverick you constantly jabber and have conversations, but you struggle to make words. It breaks my heart watching you cry with frustration when you can’t explain to us what you want. You have started signing and it helps me know that you want something. Instead of crying in anger, you will sign “more” or “drink” “please” and now “ball.” But mainly you sign “more” for everything because you know how cute it is and we give you whatever you want.

First Words

• Uh-oh
• Go
• Mommy
• Daddy
• Owie

Clothes

You seem to have skipped the 12-18 month size. You are in 2t and growing like a weed. I think you will be bigger than Lincoln, but we will see at your doctor’s appointment next week

Maverick you are so temperamental and very emotional, but you calm down with hugs and loves. You are a roller-coaster; I never know how you will wake up in the morning. Sometimes you have a big smile, and other days you are beyond mad. You know how to work the crowd and love attention. Oh boy do you love people hugging and kissing on you. Everyone that meets you falls in love with your cheesy grin and constant hugs. You know how to make people melt with “awwwwes” and “ohhhhhhs.” Maverick we love you, we love everything from your tantrums to your chubby legs. You are my little sunshine and make every day worth living. Yes you hard and often exhausting, but what is hard also makes you so very special. Your brother Lincoln loves you, and as you get older I watch you become true friends. These last 18-months have been incredible, and I am so excited for the milestones you will accomplish in the future.

You are loved!
