19 & 20 Months!

Where has the time gone? I feel like the summer has just started and now it is coming to an end. We still have a couple of busy weeks ahead of us but we are going to try to squeeze in as much water activities we can before the warm weather disappears. Okay, now time for an update on Mr. O

Stats:

Weight: 26.6 pounds (55 %)
Height: 33" (66%)
Head Circumference: 50 cm (94 %)
Shoe Size: 5/6
Eyes: Hazel/Brown depending on the light
Diapers: finishing up our last box of size 4s and moving into size 5
Cloths: 24 months

Milestones:

Loves anything to do with water especially swimming. He will kick in the water with his arm floaties and bubble and move around the pool all by himself ~ a natural water bug

Puzzles have become one of his favorite new obsessions as well as stacking blocks

Has become really good at kicking balls

Discovered how yummy watermelon is -- thank goodness for that!

Has recently started to hit Lexi and thinks it is so funny to watch her scurry away. We are learning how to pet the doggie GENTLY

Speaking of Lexi he also likes to take her leash and walk her himself

Has a new love for all baby dolls. If he sees one he picks it up, gives it a hug and a kiss and then brings it to me. It is so cute

Pretty good at following directions

He is a very independent and stubborn little boy

18 months brought about a whole new level of frustration and whining because he has to learn how to communicate with us to tell us what he wants

He can show us where his head, belly button, toes and eyes are on his body

If you ask him what a cow says he responds with "moooo" ... which is also what sound a horse, goat, pig and every other animal makes too ;)

Still loves to read and have books read to him

Favorite tv shows are Mickey, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Little Einsteins, Doc McStuffins (all Disney Jr shows)

If we would let him he would live outside. He LOVES the outdoors and always brings us all of his treasures that he finds. He especially likes rocks and sticks

He loves slides and can successfully climb up the stairs, sit at the top and slide down all by himself
