Frederick is

• halfway between 19 and 20 months.
• obsessed with keys.  Not the play set I made with "real" keys, but real sets that turn on real cars. Which leads to...
• obsessed with cars and twuks. wace (red/race) twucks, why (white) twucks, bii (big) twucks.  The kid really loves twucks.  Every trip down the highway next to an 18 wheeler brings utter joy.  I now find myself speeding up to drive next to the darn things instead of only hurry past them. I need to post a video that shows his awe over the dozens of "race trucks" that google images pulls upon the computer screen.
• not a fan of a security blanket, but instead likes takes his red car with him to bed.
• a super smiley kid.
• underweight now, after being in the 95% for weight at 4 months old.
• insanely busy.
• a climber.
• crazy about his sister and loves to do whatever she does.  It melts my heart to see them smile and laugh and play together.
• determined.
• the worlds most awesome snuggler.
• still learning to say daddy.  I think I'll be sad when he stops calling Fred "Daddin."
• into graffiti.  Our walls show the damage.
• sometimes a cat on the floor.  He has a great meow.
• mischievous.
• a streaker.
• fond of saying "no, no, no," where just one "no" would suffice.
• using new words every day, but likes to hum something that sounds like "thank you," rather than opening his mouth to form words.
• precious and I love him.
