Ian's 18 Month Checkup

Ian had his 18 month checkup this week (5/12/17). The doctor said everything looks great and he's growing just fine! 

Weight: 26lbs 4oz (76.71%)

Height: 2' 8" (33.22%)

Head:48.3cm (75.27%)

He had a fun time having Mama and Daddy all to himself for a change! 

I also wanted to share some things that have been going on with Ian lately:

• Like his big brother, he looooves cars! He says "ca! ca!"
• He went through a "diaper digger" phase (apparently that's a thing) - his teachers put him in onesies for nap to prevent it
• He has a new found love for Elmo ("melmo!!!")
• He loves to feed you / share food
• Go hard or go home with pretty much anything he does - eating, kissing, etc. (when he does want to kiss/snuggle - he goes in hard)
• Loves Brown Bear and Mickey Baby books. Loves Mickey doll too
• He loves sitting in his room and reading. He also tries to grab things off the pages, it's so cute. Likes to read in the car (or play cars)
• He isn't crying anymore when I drop him off at nursery at church or Mother's Day Out (he went through a phase where he cried so bad for a few months).
• Monkey see monkey do - copies just about everything Eli does. And thinks he's just as big!
• Imitates so many sounds - loves doing that! And facial expressions too. He loves the fish face and tries so hard to do it. 
• Has started shaking his head no to stuff. And there's no doubting it!
• Said "nigh nigh" for first time 3/17/17 and now he has started pretending to be night night 
• He also started saying "bubbles" - too cute! He has added lots of new words lately.
• Likes to wear Eli's shoes
• Takes his shoes off in car (just the right one)
• Got a couple more teeth. Has 9 total now
• He is in 18-24 month clothes and size 4 diapers
• He is still a great sleeper. Sleeps about 7pm-8am and takes a nap around 12:30-3:00.
