18 Month Stats

Aiden went to his 18 month check-up last week. It wasn't really an enjoyable experience, but we did make some progress since last visit. Aiden weighs 27 lbs, 7 oz (70%) and is 31.25 inches tall (20%). I question the accuracy of the height measurement since he was twisting, kicking, and crying while we laid him down on the flat board to measure. I think he will do much better when they let him stand for height and weight measurement. Aiden now has 14 teeth!

Aiden loves to play outside even in the heat. He seizes any opportunity to go outside to play in his pool or watch (yes, only watch - he doesn't like the water hitting him) the sprinkler. He still loves throwing rocks and stomping bugs. He'll turn bright red and sweat outside and still not want to go inside. We take breaks to drink water and eat frozen fruit bars to cool down.

Aiden still loves his cars and playing ball. He's starting to repeat words and sounds. His favorite sayings these days include "Oh, wow!", "Oh, gosh!", "Baa" (the sound a sheep makes), "Hot dog", "Shhhh!". He's adorable!
