My baby



So Strider had his 18 month check up last week. I can't believe he is 18 months. I am still pretty crazy about this boy and he is equally crazy about me. What can I say? We like each other.

He is doing super great. Healthy boy!
Weight: 29 lb 4 oz - 87%
Height: 34.25 inches - 94%
Head: 18.25 inches - 28%

Just to get an idea of how he compares to my other boys. Here are their 18 month stats:
Taegen:
weight 25 lbs 7 oz 50 - 75%
height 33 1/2 inches 75 - 90%
head 19 1/4 inches 75 - 90%

Kyler:
weight 22 lbs 11 oz 5 - 10%
height 31 inches 10 - 25%
head 17 1/2 inches less than 5%

Strider is bigger than they were at his age (except his head). I always love seeing the stats. I'm a little sad that Strider is no longer in the 90+% for his weight. I LOVED all his baby chub. He must be getting older. Darn.

* He is so super happy.
* He loves life.
* He adores his older brothers. Kyler and Strider have little hugging wars because they are both the same height and so they hug and see who tips over first. Then they giggle and do it again.
* He says a lot of words.
* He seriously says Thank you for everything.
* He is very sweet.
* He is a charmer and he has a great smile. I love his little dimple.
* He walks like a muscle builder because he walks with a total strut. He sticks his chest and butt out at the same time.
* When he "runs" he only swings his right arm.
* He knows all of his basic body parts.
* He loves kisses.
* He sleeps GREAT (knock on wood). I lay him in his crib and turn on a humidifier and give him his binky and a book and he is good to go.
* He is officially in nursery now and so far so good. He has cried a little bit but nothing too bad.
* He LOVES milk and prefers milk over any other drink. He loves chicken nuggets. He also loves goldfish crackers and pretzels.
* He is one happy boy who we like a whole lot.
