Jett at 18 Months

He is such a snuggler and would snuggle with me all day if he could
Loves Books - Especially books about animals
Hates Milk
Climber - I have to keep my chairs down around the table because he will scoot the chairs and try to climb on the counters
If he puts something in his mouth he knows he shouldn't, he will bring it to me. He wears a sneaky grin on his face and I know something is in his mouth. He even will come all the way downstairs just to find me with his sneaky grin. He knows.
He loves playing with water. Cirdan had to shut off the water on one of the faucets in our bathroom because he would climb up on the bathtub and stand there, play in the water and get wet.
Doesn't like tv - but does like Elmo - not to watch but just to see and say..."Elmo!"
He LOVES bubbles and goes to the sliding glass door often asking to go out to play with bubbles
The girls have taught him how to act like a dog. They will tell him he is a puppy and to get down and he immediately drops down on all fours and acts like a dog. It is pretty funny.
He loves flowers and loves to smell them. If we see flowers we always have to stop for him to take a big sniff.
He enjoys tools and fixing or building things.  If Cirdan needs to put something together or fix something- Jett is right there, anxious to help and use all of the tools.  He is also a great helper.  He gets excited to help bring in groceries, clean or just help out.  If you ask him to go get something he's pretty happy with himself when he knows what it is.  Jett speeds off and races back to bring what you asked.
He recently started to like the girls headphones with their ipods.  They're the full size headphones that cover your ears.  What's even better is the fact that the girls both have girly color and design headphones. 
Jetty loves to wrestle and play with Daddy.  Cirdan tickles him until Jett is laughing hysterically, they play the binky game which he digs.
He is pretty shy still.  He hears people say his name loud and clear and he just looks away or looks down, acting as if he didn't hear.is cool with Mom, Dad and Kaiya as far as taking care of him.  He won't let anyone else babysit -other than Val if Kaiya's there-.  Jett When he's comfortable, he has the sweetest and funniest demeanor.  He is super funny and has a great sense of humor.  He will even go comfort Ella know if she is crying sometimes. 
Lately he and Ella have become closer as Jett gets bigger.  They have become pretty good pals.  Ella recently has also taken to becoming more of a caretaker to him.  She wants to be able to help out.  She tries to get him to sleep or feed him, whatever she can do to help.  They have a good time together.
He says and can point to ears, hair, eyes, toes, nose, teeth, fingers, mouth, tummy
