18 Months!

Our boy is 18 months old already! Where does the time go? It still seems like yesterday we were having all the problems and I was on bed rest! Amazing how a yr and 1/2 has gone by already! William had his 18 mo check up today. He is up to 30 lbs, 33 1/2 inches long (might be a tad more then that, he was very uncooperative) and his head is 20 1/2 inches. His head hasn't grown any and he only grew about a 1/2 inch. His weight and height surprised me as he is still stuck in the same clothes. I figured he had grown in inches and only gained a little bit of weight if any! He is still wearing the same clothes he was wearing at 9mo! See below :)
9 mo old-look at that chubby baby :)


And now....

Then...

and now...




~William is still only saying Momma and Dadda. He babbles constantly and will get very loud when he wants us to understand something. He really sounds like he is trying to talk/tell us something.He is into pointing to tell us what he wants. (His pedi said we would give him a bit more time in the language dept.)
~He loves to look at books, run and climb, swing on the swing, slide, play with his truck and talk on his phone! He also loves to play with balls and his bath time!
~He loves to be held (by Momma mostly) but also likes to be very independent and walk all by himself! He is learning how to do the stairs both up and down.
~He is still a very BIG Mommas boy and doesn't give Mom much of a break!
~He is starting his terrible 2's early I think! He loves to throw a tantrum and is into hitting and biting! We have a new discipline plan and liquid soap is in order if he bites anymore-per his pedi! Going to continue to work on time outs as well.
~He has turned into a very picky eater but loves his sweets and junkfood! (I think I see Mommy rubbing off here! :) ) (Not a whole lot we can do here-he will eat what he wants to eat-per the Doc, give him some more time she says. We are going to try some pedasure and/or instant breakfast to give him some more vitamins)

He managed to get out of his shots today as we are going to give him a bit more of break. As I think we are finally getting to the point of him feeling better and getting back to himself! She said we definitely have a smart boy on our hands and he is going to do what he is going to do! She also said he is going to try and bend all the rules....Hmmmmm I think we are in a for a treat! He wouldn't be taking after his Mother would he?? :) I can see my mother smiling right now just thinking of him giving me just a little bit of a hard time! :)

He still makes us smile every day and we are so glad he is here!
