Time for an update

A week and a half ago Joel turned 18 months. He had his last official checkup at the doctor's including his last shots until preschool (so glad they're done with)! He weighed 30 lbs and measured 33.5 inches. He's still 100 percentile for weight and 80th for height. He's really starting to say more words now, although not the same ones consistently, except for Bye and Vroom which he is very good at! He has said Thank you, Auntie, Grandma, Hannah, shoes, socks, ball, car, and even came out with "Mama, hold" once when he wanted me to hold his hand. He also always says There you go when handing you something. It's pretty cute and very interesting to see him copying my own habits! Also with turning 18 months came the tantrums and freak outs that I guess we'll have to deal with over the next couple of years. (Karen - I know you warned me about the day they turn 18 months and you were right!). However, he is still a sweet and cuddly boy who loves giving hugs and kisses. What more could a mom ask for?
