18 Months

N had his 18 month appointment this morning. He's moving back up the charts a little, at 22lbs (20%) and 31" (10%) which is up for both of those. :) His head is still huge (88%). lol
He's doing well all around. I did get an order for an x-ray because he was limping after his nap Monday and Tuesday. I really love our doctor. She told me to keep an eye on it and if he's still doing it in the next couple of days to take him in, but she wrote the order today so I wouldn't have to deal with getting it later if we need it. It's really weird... Monday after nap he wouldn't even walk on it, but he didn't seem to be in pain, and I couldn't see anything wrong. It took him a few hours before he quit limping on it. Then yesterday after nap he was limping again, but it wasn't as bad and it didn't last as long. The doctor felt both legs all up and down and as far as she could tell he's fine, but she said if he does it for hours again like Monday to take him in. Hopefully we won't need to, but I feel like she's the right level of concerned.

He really didn't like being at the doctor's office. He kept asking for his clothes, and when I wouldn't get him dressed he tried to put his shirt on himself.

He's talking a ton now (my recent favorite is when he says "Daddy's Ipad"), and starting to string more words together (after breakfast one morning when Matthew told him not to eat his bib he said, "Na eat Na's bib!").
He's also climbing, running, and trying to jump (so cute!).

Here are a few recent pictures...

I thought this was so cute, all 3 reading together (and then right after I took the picture N threw that book at M and she started crying, so much for that sweet moment).
2 baskets of shoes, he's so proud of himself.
He loves his big sissy... Hanging out under the desk while she does her homework.

Yes, he's now completely addicted to that dang pacifier (and the clear one in that shoe picture is his favorite, he won't take the other ones if he sees that one). I thought about taking it away a month ago when he really didn't care much for it, but he was weaning and I didn't want to do that at the same time. Now he flips out if he doesn't have it in his mouth anytime we're at home. I was really trying to keep it in his crib, but I gave up on that after a couple mornings of being screamed at for hours. He doesn't usually have it when we're out and about, so I think I'm okay with that for now. We'll work on keeping it in the crib once he's not as attached.
