Colby had his 18 month check up today. Always so sad to see him get the shots, but he's always such a trooper. I was a proud mama when the nurse kept saying how good he was for just sitting there while they checked him. I don't remember his exact measurements, but he was a little over 21 lbs and about 32 1/2 inches long i believe. He got taller since his last appointment, and gained about a pound. Of course now he's going through a picky phase, but hopefully we can get him to eat more and more to help him gain weight.
Right now he:
Loves opening and closing doors
Loves loves loves stuffed animals
I am missing most my measuring cups/spoons because they now belong to him
He must be held while i'm cooking so he can see what i'm doing (maybe he doesn't trust my cooking either)
He says a lot of words - mama, dada, papa, nana (gma and gpa sometimes), apple, banana, orange, cracker, raisins, oatmeal, cheese, ham, potato, corn, pants, shoes, socks, jacket, pillow, hello, bye, bear, ball, door, please, thank you, and probably more than i can't remember. of course most of those words are just between his parents and him, nobody else would have any idea what he's saying.
Loves dancing
Loves being chased by daddy when he gets home
Loves reading, but not getting read to
Goes into his room to take a nap and go down for the night when i ask him if he's tired
If something is out of place in the house he'll grab it and say "back" and put it where he thinks it goes (most of the time he actually gets it right)
He loves being outside and always wants me to put his shoes on, and then he'll grab my shoes for me
He is such a joy in our home. We've been blessed with an incredibly good boy that loves to please people. I just can't get enough of his smile!
