My baby is more of a toddler than a baby at this point and it kind of breaks my heart but he is so fun at this stage!
We went to the doctor last week and he weighs 22 lb (38%), is 31.5 in. tall (51%), and his noggin is still uuuge and is in the 93% (this is why he is super smart ;) )
He is such a busy little guy and is walking/running EVERYWHERE! He took his first steps at just about 14 months and then somewhere in between 14-15 months he was off. He definitely has a lot of bumps and bruises (usually on his face...I swear we don't abuse our child). Along with this, he is trying to climb up on things. He can get up on the couch and low stools but it is still somewhat difficult for him so luckily he isn't onto other things such as the kitchen table etc....for awhile.
He is a talking machine, it is so cute. He says about 27 words, some of our favorites being "car" which was his first word other than mamma and dadda and he says it in a Boston accent making it hilarious. Anything with wheels is a car....bikes are cars, strollers are cars, wagons are cars. He says "wawa" for water and while we run along the river he yells "wawa!!" when he gets a good look at the water and he yells it pretty loud. His latest new words are "hi" and "buh-bye" and says this often while talking on his phone. He also says two words together, "what's dat?" while pointing to things.
The fingers have found the nose! Oh boy haha. Sometimes I'll catch him digging up there.
He loves eating with utensils, especially a fork and likes to stab the food. He is a really great eater and always has been. And even with 8 teeth, he eats pretty much anything so he no longer really eats baby food. His favorite food the past couple weeks has been corn on the cob. It's so funny watching him eat it. He does it all by himself! It's funny though because he will only eat corn if it's on the cob. He has gotten kind of high maintenance :) We are still doing bottles but I will be working on getting him off of those here soon. He has gotten better at using sippy cups with water so I think he's ready.
He is getting a molar! He has been such a champ dealing with it too. It really hasn't bothered him much like I thought it would.
He is obsessed with shoes (which of course is one of his words he often uses). He loves to try our shoes on and wants to walk around in them. He also loves to shut doors and will shut himself into a room and of course can't get back out, so he will cry. He does this over and over, silly boy.
He shakes his head to say "no". He also gives high-fives and knuckles. He also likes to hit himself and others....we are working on redirecting this behavior.
Oh my heck, we love this kid so much!
