Ethan went for his 18 month well check a couple weeks back and he weighed in at 24 lbs. 8 oz and measured 30.5 inches tall! Our sweet boy definitely had a growth spurt... he grew 2 whole inches since his 15 month visit, but gained just half a pound. He is looking so "mature" these days!!! Our little guy is definitely growing TOO FAST!
His favorite things to do these days: Read books, climb on everything, play outside (swing, slide, collect rocks, play in the sandbox), chase and hug Molly, roll/throw/kick balls, race cars, watch tractors, and push ride-on toys.
He loves to eat: Chicken pot pie, quesadillas, eggs, cottage cheese, blueberries, strawberries, oranges, oatmeal, bananas, cheese, green smoothie, and cheddar bunnies. He still doesn't drink much milk and sweet potatoes are the only veggie he will eat that isn't hidden... and he now hates meatloaf.
Challenges: Throwing everything... not just food anymore, eating veggies, and the dreaded tantrums!
His language is really ramping up as well. He is learning animals (bear, dog, bird, duck, monkey...) and animal sounds (ba, moo, neigh..), some colors (blue, purple orange), favorite foods (eggs, oatmeal, cheese, berries, oranges). He has manners now too! He can sign "please" and "thank you"!
And finally... a few of my favorite 18 month pictures! I'm pretty sure they don't come any cuter than this little guy :)
Pictures of course taken by the fabulous Lisa Woods. So much has changed in our lives since the first time Lisa photographed Troy and I four years ago for our engagement portraits. We adore our little family and this life we share!!!
