1 1/2 Year Old Check Up

Went to see Dr. Tim today for my 18 month check-up. I am currently 34 inches tall and weigh 27 lbs. 14 oz. I am in the 50-75th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for height. He says I am on target with all the skills an 18 month old should have. I can run, jump, use a fork and spoon to eat, say more than 10 words and eat all kinds of food.

He told me to stay healthy and I plan on it! I don't want to miss the upcoming holidays. Boy, I can taste the turkey and pumpkin pie already. Yummm!

New Do, New Words

I got my hair cut! Yep, no more shag around the ears or comb over. My dad took care of it with his clippers. I did pretty well for my first time. The clippers kinda tickled. Here is my before shot. I even said "haircut" in preparation of the event.

Gotta love my straggly- looking locks:)

Ta Da!!!! Mom and Dad think I look much more mature. I would agree with that. In fact I have really begun to talk. I say "doggie", "work", "shoes", "Wendy", "hat" and many more. I can recite all the animals on the farm noises like "quack quack", "moo", "ruff ruff", "meow", and much more. You name it... I can impersonate it. I also know my body. You ask me where my eyes, chin, hair, toes, belly, etc are and I will point to each part.

I love electronics, especially the computer. I love to look at old pictures of me and old videos too. I think I'm totally hilarious.

Thank God I have remained healthy this fall. So many people have been really sick. It's too bad. As long as I eat my broccoli, take my naps and keep my hat on outside I think I will stay pretty healthy.

"ByEEEEE!!!!"

Indian Summer

Indian Summer is what they call the weather we've been having. I call it fabulous because I get to be outside! What a fun week I had. I went on lots of walks outside the stroller. I can walk for blocks and blocks without getting a bit tired. I pick up all the sticks and hand them to mom to throw along the street in the leaf piles. I also love to run through the leaves so I can hear them CRUNCH!!!!

I don't mind lying in the leaf piles either:)

Here I am playing in the parking lot of AAA, down the street from my house. It was a blast!

Here we are in Grand Haven. What an awesome place...reminded me of summer time. People were boating, fishing, walking along the sandy beach. I so badly wanted to jump in the water. We went there to visit Brook and Chrystal and see their new house. It was fun!

After the sun set we packed up and headed back home. Did I tell you? I say "home" now. I also know where my eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are located. The world and it's happenings continue to amaze me. I am learning so many things each and every day. Very soon I will be letting loose some real sentences. I think I've almost figured out how and when to say things. Stay tuned.

Love to you all.

Dragontales

Hope you all enjoyed your Halloween. I had a fabulous time. I loved my dragon costume and so did everyone else. It was a very busy night. I made stops at all my grandparents' houses and then stayed the night with Grandma Dede and Grandpa Huck. It was lots of fun!

Here are our pumpkins. They are still unmarked by the squirrels. I was trying to show off my muscles and move it. I am pretty strong. Did I tell you I can lift my bike and carry it? I also enjoy picking up the big branches in our yard and throwing them into the street.

Check it out!

My Mom and Dad dressed up too. I think Daddy said he was some cop from Reno 911 and Mommy was a mermaid. I think my dragon was much cooler! Time for bed. Daylight saving time is really throwing me into a whirlwind. I can't seem to adjust. By 7pm, I'm ready to hit the sack!

Much Love,
