18 Months!

Here is another post I wrote before but never polished!  February 1st, 18 months!

It's so hard to believe that my baby boy has been out of my belly for 18 months now.  I know every one says the time just flies by so to enjoy every moment.  Let me tell you something, it does, and I do.

I haven't worked in childcare and I'm the first of my friends to have kids so I'm not sure what is 'normal' for this age.  But I think he is so smart.  And I'm not saying above average or anything but it is just amazing what he understands.  Here are a couple stats on the little man:

Weight - 25 lbs (45th percentile)
Height - 33.5 in (85th percentile)


And just because pictures are fun and I'm at home, I can post them...

He does this adorable thing where he just rests his forehead against mine.  I love it :)
Back at Christmas time

His first snow!  All bundled up and ready to go!

I'm seriously loving this time with him and LOVE this age.  It's absolutely fascinating to me to watch him comprehend so many things.  When he watches you do something and copies, it is just amazing!  I'm sure I won't say that when he's copying my language!

Speaking of language he's got a few words down:

"Bye Bye" - clear as day
"Hi"
"Hi Doh Doh" - Hi doggy
"Hi Doo Doh" - Hi Juno (one of our pugs)
"Ball"
"Dahh" - dark
"Dahs" - shoes and socks
"Mla mla mla" - Banana, it's really cute when he says this.  His tongue sticks out at every 'l'
He knows what sounds a couple animals make but a majority are grouped into "woof woof" or "neee" (aka, "meow")

He has this one phrase which The Bage and I can't tell what it is, "What-ih-what-tahh".  You have to say it fast and all together like one word.  It's just funny.  I think I got it on video (hopefully!).

I can't think of much else right now.  He's transitioned into the 18 - 24 month room at daycare.  They have a lot more freedom there to run around the whole room.  The Bage and I aren't huge fans of the teachers in there so much but hopefully it'll just take a little time to warm up to them.

Pace,
Megan
