Yesterday you had your 18 month check up with Dr. Williams. You get a little nervous with the stethoscope on your back and chest but did great because I was able to hold you while the Dr. listened to your heart. You gained a little weight and grew in height. Here are you stats:
date-7-30-09
height- 32.5" (75th percentile)
weight- 21 lbs. 13 oz. (10th percentile)
Tall and skinny! :) Dr. Williams was so impressed with your talking skills and all the words you can say. A typical 18 month old is expected to have an 8-word vocabulary and you have blown that so far out of the water I don't even keep track anymore. She asked you about a picture on a book she held up and you said "fishy". While she tried to get you to open your mouth so she ccould look in I asked you "what's the lion say?" and you replied with a great big "raaaarrgghh!" She had no problem seeing inside your mouth. You have a lot of teeth...14 that I can see. Those molars gave you some pain for a good week but you are much better now. I love you!

18 months--likes & dislikes
You're 18 months already!!! I can't believe how old you've gotten so quickly. I'm amazed daily at all the new things you can do and words you speak and imitate. The list is so long that I won't even attempt to make one. Some of the things you do and like are as follows:
- kids shows on tv- especially the Noggin channel (Yo Gabba Gabba!, Toot & Puddle, Max & Ruby, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and so on...)
- popsicles ("pah-sills" and you say it)
- being outside
- playing with cousins
- Nic
- puzzles- very good at them!
- ducks
- babies of course
- snacks ("naks!")
- wrestling and doing tricks with daddy
- balls
- swimming
- parks & slides
- orange juice
- blowing kisses
- boats
- Goodnight Moon book
- Pat the Bunny book
- any type of cup or container to put things in and out of.
- grab your diapers and say "po po" not "poo pooo".
- throw fits for no reason at all
- cry and scream when I lay you down for a nap (not always but often)
- stepping in sand or dirt like at the beach or lake
- trying new foods unless it's junk food or sweets. very picky eater you are.
