18 months

Just got back from Linc's 18 month appointment a little while ago. Here are the stats:
Weight: 23 lbs - 30%
Height: 31 1/2 inches - 18%
So the conclusion is he is a little pipsqueak. I guess he is one the charts so that is good right? He had to get 1 shot this time but I came prepared with a sucker to give him and it worked like a charm, didn't even cry. (Well he cried when I took the sucker away from he after I put him in his carseat but that doesn't count).

He is such a good little boy and we loving having him around. He is starting to talk a lot more and understand a lot of things we say. The words he can say now are: Dad (this is the favorite), mom (he CAN say this but choosing usually not to), uh oh, yuck, ouch, belly button (this is definently one only I can understand), yeah, okay, and bye bye. I honestly think he can say more because I have heard him say other things but these are the words he uses the most.

He points to his: head, nose, eyes, ears, teeth, belly button, and toes. He points to them on other people to. His favorite is to find other people's belly buttons.

He waves hi, bye, gives good open mouth kisses, blows kisses, plays peek a boo, and gives hugs (complete with a back pat).

He is very active and loves being outside. We had our first "big" accident yesterday when he tried to go down the cement steps and fell and scraped his head. It looked pretty bad yesterday but already looks a lot better today.

He is still taking 2 naps a day (on a regular day when we are at home for most of the day). And still sleeps great at night.

He has 5 teeth but has about 3 coming in. I'm so grateful that Lincon "teethes" well. I have never noticed a difference in the way he acts but we'll see with his molars coming in. That can't feel pleasant.

Here is a picture for your viewing pleasure. Taken earlier this month. We gave him a cookie and he really liked it. I have yet to take his 18 month pictures and probably won't until his scrape goes away a little :)
