18 Months

This little guy turned 18 months old on March 15th. I haven't monthly post in a while, so let's catch up on the stats. By the way, when do you stop counting the months. When someone asks how old he is, I don't want to say like 42 months. Anyways, back to the topic. 

Our little cutie pie was 27.9 lbs and 32.5 inches long. Woohoo big boy. That's still only the 50th percentile. He is built like his daddy and maybe we have a future linebacker on our hands here. He is wearing 18 months clothes and wears a size 4 1/2 shoes... although we have slid into some 5's and those were pretty good too. He has little sausage feet like his momma.

He is a pretty laid back fella. This picture describes him perfect. He goes to bed about 7:15ish and a few months ago finally started putting himself to sleep. Hallelujah  This was a milestone. Until then we would have to rock him completely to sleep (partly our fault for spoiling him in this area). He will wake up anywhere from 6:00-7:00 am, but gave us a real treat today and slept until 7:45. It's the small things in life. He is starting to lose his morning nap and just take a really good afternoon nap. Sometimes he still needs a little morning power nap though. 

If he had to fill out a profile on eharmony he would include these as his faves: screaming (not in a mad way, but just to hear his beautiful voice), long soaks in the tub, climbing on anything available, fruit lover (grapes especially), playing with cell phones, giving slobbery kisses, and being outside waving to the neighbors. Some of his dislikes: veggie loather (green beans especially) and being told no.

He is such a joy to us and we are blessed to be able to raise him. Above all these milestone, likes and dislikes, we just pray he will develop a heart that longs to know his Savior.
