18 months

I cannot believe that my baby boy is one and a half. Where does the time go? It seems like it was only yesterday that we were celebrating his first birthday. Now we're halfway to his second birthday. Here are a few things about our 18 month old boy:

• Stats: Weight - 26 1/2 pounds (55%); Height - 33 1/2 inches (75%)
• When he went for his 18 month well visit, they asked if he can say at least 6 words. Judd said, "More like 40!" Here are some new words he has started saying: nonna (banana), paw-ee (potty), shoe, bankie (blankie), pillow, boo (blue), wed (red), well-wo (yellow), move, stop it, light, wa-wer (water), clean up, hello, two (after we say one, he says two), five, eight, Elmo, cup, eye, mine, turkey.
• Has developed a love for bananas and grapes (he calls them balls), but is becoming uninterested in dinner.
• Still loves balls and trains. He has started throwing a ball up against the wall over and over again.
• He had strep for the first time and went through three different antibiotics before getting over it.
• He has develped a liking for Elmo! We have a few Elmo books that he likes so we finally put new batteries in Bailey's old TMX Elmo. He loves it! I turned Sesame Street on for him and when Elmo came on he went right up to the TV and said hello. So cute!
• He has given up his booster seat at the table. He refuses to sit in it and screams if we put him in it. He ends us sitting in a regular chair or in one of our laps.
• He is still a Daddy's boy and says Daddy constantly! His first two word statement was "No, Daddy!"
• Loves to wrestle with sister.
• Still goes to bed around 7:15 every night and sleeps until about 7:00 in the morning.
• Wears size 18 month clothes, can wear some 24 month shirts and pajamas.
• We thought we were done with overnight diapers because his diapers were not as full in the mornings as they used to be. It worked for a while, but after two mornings of wet pajamas, we had to go back to the overnights. On the second morning, Campbell pointed to his wet jammies and said, "tee-tee."
• He wants to sit on the potty and says "tee-tee." He has never done anything while sitting on the toilet and I'm not even close to start potty training, but if he wants to do it, we'll let him!
