18 Months

So I'm a little behind. Colin is now a few days past 18 months, but who's counting? Here's a glance at the little guy today...

Weight: 21 lbs. and some odd ounces

Height: barely 30 inches

(did I mention he's small?)

Words:

'Mama', 'Mommy', 'Mom' - me

'Daddy' - Chris (or me, he mixes them up sometimes)

'Doggy' - dog

'Puppy' - anything that moves on four legs and may or may not have fur

'Bubba' - sippy cup or give me a drink now!

'Ball' - ball

'Baw-ball' - basketball, football, baseball

'Bye Bye' - good-bye

'Hi' - hello

'Night night' - good night

New Foods:

Grits, figs, lamb, blackberries, chocolate, and the basics

Skills:

Feeding himself with a fork and spoon - in fact, he doesn't like us to feed him at all

Hitting a ball

 

Shooting a ball into the hoop

Climbing in and out of a playpen

Riding his 4 wheeler

Puzzle-master

I wish I would have started doing this sooner! It would have been fun to see the changes. He has grown so much!

I'll leave you with a few pictures of him in his favorite room in the house - the porch:
