Dear Will,
You are 18 months old today! Holy smokes. We love you more and more each day and more than you will ever know. I can't find "baby" in your face anymore - you are officially a little boy... a VERY BUSY little boy :). I think it's the "W" names... at least it seems this way. Your uncles, Wes and Whit, were also VERY BUSY little boys. You're not just busy though, you are hilarious! I have never laughed out loud so often and on such a continuous basis... ever! We are so blessed to have you - a very funny, very smart, handsome, sweet little boy... and we couldn't have dreamed for better. How lucky we are!
You love your grandparents more than anyone - who could blame you? They think you hung the moon! And we're sure you think the same about them. Your best friend, by far, is Dupree. You two have so much fun together - I'm sure you'll be sharing ice cream cones this summer (mommy thinks it's gross, but she's sure it'll happen :)). Thomas the train, your fire truck cozy coupe, and your matchbox cars are your favorite toys - you love them. The only "tv" you will watch are your choo choo videos - you would watch them all day if we would let you (we love to watch you dance and "swing it" when the choo choo song comes on - you have such rhythm! :)). You think dahtoors (tractors), "whooouuu whooouuus" (the siren noise you make when you see police cars) and scubas (school buses) are pretty neat, too. Your favorite place to be in the whole world is outside where you throw "bupee" his tennis "bawls" (southern drawl? I think yes!). You were officially sick for the first time when you were 17 months old with a nasty nasty cough, runny nose, sneezing, and red ears - you got through it though and it didn't slow you down one bit :). You can "count" to two... mommy says "one" and you say "two"... we're working on the other numbers :). We're lucky you love to brush your teeth so much - when we say it's time, you SPRINT to the bathroom, hop up on your stool, turn on the water, grab your toothbrush, and wait for choo choo toothpaste. I hope you are always so excited about hygiene :). You LOVE saying the blessing before dinner and say "Dee Dah!" at the end... this means "Amen!" You love to wave and give high fives, blow kisses and hug. And you really love reading books - especially choo choo books.

Happy 18 months, sweet boy!!! I can't believe you're growing up so fast!! Love from the Wallaces! :)
(PS, he's also very good at saying "bad dog" haha, which he had to say to Harley a lot when she was getting in the way and trying to eat the food when you guys visited, haha!)
That was the sweetest letter. I adore his mini-dictionary. Can we please create a real one for him? How cute!
