18 Months Old!

At 18 months, Henry is:
  • Is 32.5 inches tall (50th percentile) and weighs 24 pounds (50th percentile)
  • Running.  A lot.  Everywhere and all the time.
  • Kicking, throwing and catching a ball
  • Loves to dance
  • Loves to play with his big brother and sister
  • Finally has some teeth (2 on the bottom, 2 top molars just broke through and we're seeing glimpses of his top teeth)
  • Talking more and more each day--mama, dada, dust (for Dusty), Dee-a (for Delia), ball, kick, catch (seriously, the kid is obsessed with balls), cheeeeez (when he sees a camera), peeez (for please), bye, me (we hear "me, peeez, me" quite often when he really wants something), hello, truck, signs for more (which means more of something, especially food), blows kisses when saying goodbye, waves hello, knows animal sounds for elephant (blows a 'trumpet' sound), dog (pants) and cat (eee-ow)
  • Loves to sit at the piano and "play" while looking at JG's piano books
  • Sleeps 7:30pm-6:30am most nights, and takes 1 nap 1:00-3:45 during the day.  If we're running errands any time after 11:00am then chances are he'll fall asleep (but as long as it's less than 30 minutes, he'll still take a good afternoon nap).
  • Loves to climb
  • Thinks he is a 5 year old trapped in an 18 month old's body
  • Has a few playmates and one "best girl"
  • Loves to play outside!  

Oh Henry, you keep us on our toes but bring such laughter to our lives!  You are growing up to be such a sweet, funny, happy (most of the time), independent, busy little boy.  

Photo-bombing big sister's soccer pictures.  He saw the camera and came running, yelling "cheeez".  Oh good grief, he's adorable!
