18 month follow up...

Just a f/u to the 18 month info. I weighed 25 lbs. 11 oz and I am 32 3/4 inches tall. I did have to get 2 shots which I am simply not a fan of but I did survive. These are just some random pics Mommy wanted to share, I am all about this fire in the living room thing!

18 Months Old today...

A few words about what is going on with me:

I no longer drink from a bottle, I am all about the cup now. This was a bit of a stresser for Mommy, I was pretty strong willed regarding only drinking my milk from a bottle for the last few months.

I use a spoon pretty well and continue to work on my fork skills, as well as scooping. I am not a big eater, this too stresses Mommy. I do enjoy breakfast but could care less about eating almost anything for the rest of the day. I am very into "dip-dip" so if you want me to eat something let me dip it in something. I am not picky, I will dip apples into caramel or sour cream and veggie sticks into cool whip or french onion dip.

I have become very sensitive to noises such as a mixer, vacuum etc... Simply not a fan!

I love to scribble, color etc... I am really enjoying my new easel, especially the chalkboard side. I am discouraged from eating the chalk but refuse to listen.

I read myself books alot, sometimes even upside down. I insist on turning the pages myself if I allow you to read the words.

I run very well and climb on anything and everything. "Chandler, sit on your hiney!" is a common statement these days.

I have a very sweet disposition so Mommy says. I do love to snuggle, give hugs and kisses to Mommy, Daddy, Luey, Koko and my close friends.

As for sleep, I sleep all night from about 8PM-7AM and I nap from around 12:30 until 2:30 or 3. This is pretty much the norm every day.

I love to follow simple directions such as, throwing things in the garbage, cleaning up toys etc... Oh, apparently I am a good sharer. Mommy seems pretty proud of this but knows "her day is coming", whatever that means. :)

One thing I am so not into is being told NO or not to do something. I would rather do what I want to do!!! Sometimes I do get upset and sometimes I immediately sit down in the floor and politely protest. No full blown tantrums yet but I am edging towards it. :):):):)

I am still going strong with gym and music class, as well as my swimming lessons too. We had a break at the Holidays but I am so glad all classes have resumed.

Mommy may have left out a few things but I am trying to push buttons and wanting her attention so she may add it later. I have my 18 month appointment with the pediatrician Monday so we will update with weight and height then. One note about the very last picture; the grin on my face is b/c someone has left the remote vulnerable and I am taking advantage.

Playing with Poppy in TN

It was so great to be able to play outside without a hat and only a lightweight jacket. Poppy had a great idea to play ball!

Christmas at Nana's house

Tuesday evening we gathered for more holiday fun. I had a great playmate, my cousin Iona is just 10 days older than me. Katelyn has just started crawling but she was pretty eager to catch up with us; I reassured her she will be running soon.

More Christmas fun (part II)

Monday night was so much fun at Gigi & Poppy's house. Me, Bailey, Jordan, Cara, Logan and Devin played and played, ate a bit, opened presents, and played more. Mommy & Daddy wanted me to send out a special thank you to Gigi & Poppy for their gracious hospitality to us all, even Luey and KoKo send hugs and kisses!!
