18 months (Luke)

• Our big boy is 18 months old!  Hard to believe. Here are his stats from his 18 month checkup:
• Length: 34.75 inches (75th-90th percentile)
• Weight: 27 pounds 4 ounces (90th percentile)
• Head Circumference: 19.5 inches
• He’s been watching his sister use the potty and he’s been telling us when he needs to go “poo-poo.” He’s gone twice when we’ve made it to the potty in time.
• He loves to look for the moon and stars in the sky.
• He also loves seeing airplanes and helicopters fly by.
• He can repeat pretty much everything we say. Our favorites are “basketball” and “cock-a-doodle-doo.”
• Daddy took Luke to the pool at the YMCA and he was not a fan. He wanted to hold on to Daddy and not let the water go above his knees.   
• Luke is still an early riser (5:30), but will take 2 long naps during the day and be ready for bed by 7:30pm.
• Luke would be a fruitarian if we’d let him. He’s not particularly picky about what he eats, but if he’s got fruit on his plate he’ll eat it first. He also likes any kind of breakfast food.
• Luke loves to play outside.
• We’ve gotten rid of the pacifier except for nighttime. Once he gets up he’ll toss it in his crib along with his squirrel.
