Colton- 17/18 Months

As you can tell, I am a little late on reporting everything that has happened this month.  I am still going to blame this on the holidays.  I have to be honest it has been really awesome to just lay low and not do much!!  Anywho..........



I can't get over how big you are!  You copy everything big brother Frankie does and definitely do not like the word NO.  You are repeating almost anything and I can make out almost everything you say.  You and Frankie are really good friends and you both love to play together, most of the time anyway.  You have started to hit him when he does something you don't like and you will also put you hand out and tell him no.  Recently you have also started stomping and hit things when you get angry or we don't let you do something.  You are by far one of the happiest little guys I know and your smile can light up a room.  I just want to squeeze you because you are so darn cute!!  Here are a few things we want to remember about you:

•  You had RSV and a ear infection at the beginning of January but you handled it like a trooper and were back to your self after only a few days.


• You hate the doctor's office and dislike the nurses and doctors even more.


• You still love to dance.  You mainly bounce and wave your hands in the air but you are always so happy when you are doing it.  We have a army hamster things that sings and you love that, you will march while his music is playing and you also enjoy dancing to the song the Jake and the Never land pirate boat plays.


• You are so fast when you run.  You kind of put your hand behind you when you take off, it is adorable but you are super fast!  You have also master climbing on pretty much all the furniture now.  Nothing is safe!


• You say hi and wave, you blow kisses and say bye and wave when we are leaving.  You love playing peek-a-boo too!


• You are pretty independent and know what you want.  You also don't mind to play by yourself.


• You love anything that is shaped round like a ball.  You have a pretty good arm on your too!


• You say: wow, pretty, mommy, daddy, mine, please, thank you, puppy, Colton, Frankie, Sissy, I want down, again, one more, baby, Chachy, sit, down, cheers, night night, paci and outside.  You and mimic almost anything we ask you to say too.


• You nod yes or no when we ask you a questions.


• You love to snack but haven't been so big on dinner time.  I honestly can't even remember the last time you ate dinner but Mrs. Erica says you do pretty good at lunch time.  You LOVE mixed fruit cup and especially like the cherry. You also LOVE gummies (aka fruit snacks).


• I think you have 10 teeth and possible more coming in but I don't want to risk putting my hand in there and getting bite!  LOL!


• You are still in size 3 diapers but that main reason is I bought a big box at Sam's before you basically out grew them!  You will be in a size 4 very soon.  You are wearing 18 month clothing but some of the shirts are starting to look small.  204 months here we come!


• At your 18 month well check you were 22 lbs 11 oz in the 10th percentile and 31 1/2 inches tall in the 25th percentile.

Little man you are the sweetest thing I have even seen!  We love you to the moon and back!  There is never a dual moment with you!  I love you so much!!
