18 Months and Doin' Fine!

We had Nick's 18-month check-up today, and I happy to report we still have a big, strong, healthy boy. Here's his latest stats: 28 lbs., 8 oz.  (90%), 33.5 inches (75%) and 19.5 inch head circumference (90%).

Nick's hitting all his milestones...no more gross motor lags for our rough and tumble guy! He is jabbering non-stop and I pretty much think every new word he picks up is the most adorable ever.
Lainey is his best friend (and his worst enemy). When they aren't hugging and kissing each other, they are pushing and hitting, but Nick gives as good as he gets these days. We've started giving some time outs for hitting. He's also started with the temper tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants, but his seem less volatile that Lainey's (or maybe we're just hardened parents at this point).

Nick's doing great using utensils and has started drinking from a regular cup with moderate success. He's on his way to ditching the highchair and moving to a booster seat at the table. Right now we're just letting him choose which he wants and it seems to be alternating every other meal. Of course, once he decides the highchair is no more, we have to come up with a new configuration for the kitchen table, because only three of us can fit around it now.

Daycare is still going great for Nick! He gets excited walking up to the building and there are never any tears when we leave. The teachers LOVE him and tell me what a good boy he is every day.

Here's a recent photo of Nick from the park. His nose is almost done healing, just one little scab left! Love this happy, little guy!
