Eighteen Months

At 18 months...

You want all of the toys at the Dr.'s office.

You weigh 26 lbs 11.5 oz (62%)

You are 34 in tall (91%)

You have a big head! 50.5cm (99%)

Goldfish are an important part of your food pyramid.

No is not an important word in your vocabulary.

You make friends very easily.

It hit me today that you are really growing up Parker! And I thought to myself, am I really ready for this? The answer is no. What a stage we are getting into. You are the busiest little thing, you are so silly, and you make me want to cry and laugh at the same time sometimes. You love to go bye-bye. You beg to go everyday. Today we went to the doctor for your 18 month check-up. You even said "doctor" for the first time today. You made all sorts of animal sounds for her. For instance, you know what the cow says, the chicken, the duck, the kitty cat, and what the dog says. You had fun tearing up everything in the office you could get your little hands on. You LOVED the attention and flirted like you always do. And then the shots came... all changed after that. You were very brave, but it made you ill. Maybe the stickers and sucker made up for it? 

Nonetheless, you are so fun to be around. You are strong and move fast. You literally pull me behind you most of the time. You are talking really well and learning new words everyday. I don't know what the future holds for you my little man, but I know it will be exciting. And mommy will start saying extra prayers for the months to come! You are such a delight!
