18 Months (a day late)!

*My 18 month post is a day late because we just got our cable fixed this morning so I didn't have internet!  Its a long story, but our power lines were damaged when we rebuilt our privacy fence a few months back, so we were without power all week - then when they were digging the trench to re-lay the power lines, they cut our gas and cable!  Its been a crazy week - but power and gas were back on Friday, then cable today.  We are back in business now :)

So Wesley was officially 18 months old on Saturday!  He is such a little man these days - and a mini-me of his daddy :)

 

Wesley stats:

• Head Circumference - 19.5 in (80%)
• Weight - 27 lbs (60%)
• Length - 34 in (80%)
• Clothes -18-24 month/2T in clothes (depending on the brand) and size 6 shoes
• Food - He's getting the hang of eating with a fork although sometimes he just smashes the food instead of stabbing it :)  He's not a big fan of his vegetables right now - or trying any new foods unless he does it himself.
• Sleep - Normally sleeps though the night, but his past week with no power has been rough on him (and us) - he woke up several times each night standing up and crying in his crib (we think b/c of the portable AC units we had - they were loud and had lights ).  He is quickly outgrowing his crib, so I'm going to start looking for toddler beds soon.
• Talents/interests - LOVES the pool and water this summer!  He has water days at his preschool, and all the teachers say he is so much fun to watch because he just enjoys it so much :)  He is really into riding toys right now.  Anything that has wheels he makes the classic 'brmmmm' motor noise to and points at it so we are aware he has spotted it.  He is becoming quite the chatterbox and while I'm sure he knows exactly what he is saying, we don't always know!  He has learned to say 'please' when he wants something (instead of just whining for it) - although if he still doesn't get it after he says please he doesn't understand why not!

I can't believe you are already a year and half old - what an incredible experience you have made parenting so far!
