{18 months}

Wow. My boys are 18 months old! Halfway to 2! Amazing...I still can't believe how quickly they are growing.

They had their check-up at the doctor this morning and all looks great thank goodness. We are definitely very blessed. I have been awful at keeping up with their monthly stats (their baby book ended at 12 months) so I figured it is about time for an update (more for my sake as a reference than for anyone else :) So here goes...

Landon

• 30 lbs 4 oz (big boy!)
• 35 inches (almost 3 feet tall!)
• 13 inch thighs (you can thank their dad for that statistic)
• Has all of his teeth except for his back molars
• Lots of shiny brown hair that parts perfectly
• Wearing a size 7/8 in shoes
• Wearing 2T clothes
• Size 6 diapers
• Not sleeping through the night (well, he did once in the past few weeks)
• Can say a few words including cool, dadda, momma, ha, and tree, and babbles like crazy
• Knows most of his body parts and can point to them, including his nose, ears, belly and eyes

• Size 5 diapers
• Not sleeping through the night (well, he did once in the past few weeks)
• Can say baby, yeah, dadda, momma, and babbles quite a bit
• Knows most of his body parts and can point to them, including his nose, ears, belly and eyes
• Knows to shake his head if he doesn't want something
