We had Harrison's 18 month appointment at the beginning of July.
Weight: 25lbs 2oz (25%)
Height: 34.25" (90%)
Head Circumference: 19.5" (75%).
He is still sleeping 10+ hours every night & taking a 2.5-3 hour nap every day. Thank goodness he is like his mama & loves his sleep! He is still very easy to put down. We put him in his bed & turn on a lullaby cd & kiss him goodnight. Usually he wakes us up in the morning either laughing or calling out MAMA or DADA! And right after breakfast, he is asking to go outside all day long!
He has started watching some cartoons. He loves Curious George, Cat in the Hat & anything with Elmo ("Melmo") in it. He still doesn't like long car rides but a portable DVD player definitely helps!
He is saying new words everyday. I feel like I can't keep up with what all he can say now! He has started some phrases. "Down please" when he wants out of his highchair. "Thank you" "Please bite" or "Please snack" when he is hungry. "Please phone" when he wants to look at pictures or videos of himself on my phone. "Bye bye y'all" which I think he picked up from me telling people bye whenever we leave places. "Night night" at bedtime. My least favorite phrase is "No, no Mama". He says it so cutely that I can't be too mad at him though! But mostly he says phrases with please at the beginning or end. Hopefully he will have manners ;)
He has started working with puzzles & loves taking items out of their container & then putting them right back in. He is getting really good at throwing a ball & hitting one with anything that resembles a bat. He also tries his best to shot a basketball in the goal everytime we are in our church gym.
Harrison is definitely full of energy & keeps us on our toes, but he is so much fun! He really is a sweet & loving little boy. Everytime he sees family or his friends from school or church, he hugs them. He isn't very good at sharing yet & has started yelling MINE a lot (which I am sure will only get worse!)
You and Brian must have manners if he talks like that. He is precious.
