18 Months Old

Yesterday we had Joey's 18 month checkup at the Pediatrician. It is hard to believe he is already 1 1/2 years old. So just a little post to update everybody of what he is doing now and how he is changing. For starters the kid can TALK (like his Dad)!!!!! He can say well over 75 words (yes we counted), he likes to tell us when he has pee-pee'd but hasn't gone in the potty yet, he LOVES corn and can use a spoon to feed himself (in fact he doesn't let us feed him) , he is a NUT for Thomas the Train, Mickey Mouse (and Goofy, Donald Duck, etc....), Nemo and Little People. He has mastered the gates in our house, but seems to only want to open them when I am using the bathroom (haha). He weighed in at 25.15 lbs (he is very skinny) and 33 inches tall, both above the 50th percentile for his age but his head circumference was in the 95%...he has a huge head. Anyway, we are TRYING to get the kid to gain some weight but eating anything but corn and apples just is not on his agenda. Enough "talking" on to the pictures.

Here is his spot with his pal Mick-mouse watching cartoons....Probably Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

He loves to wear our shoes around the house...my slippers and Da's work shoes

He lives to go in Da's room and play, play, play and recently we have noticed the Joe's (as Joey calls them) being relocated into Joey's room

Just wait until he can open soda cans, Bill is in BIG trouble!!!! These collectors cans may not last long. He holds it up to me and says "coke" wanting me to open it for him :) so cute I am tempted

And we play hide and seek, either pulling out his tent or on the weekends we make a fort....and Joey runs around screaming "hide, hide". Here I am "finding" them.

He climbs on everything....if Mama won't get it for me, I can climb up to it myself. Nothing is safe

Last but not least we tried to get him to eat cupcake cones, he really liked the icing but wasn't too wild about the cupcake part.
