Dinnertime Giggles

Yesterday was N's 18 month check up at the doctor. He weighed in at 26 pounds, and he is 32 1/4 inches long! Although he didn't like getting those vaccine shots, he recovered quickly and took a nice long nap when we got home. Here are some pictures we took after dinner last night.


I was tickling his legs and saying "avocado" to get him to laugh like this!

He is learning to use a fork and spoon at meal times, although it's a big learning curve for someone who loves to eat and wants to get the food in as quickly as possible - fingers just seem to be the most efficient method at this point.

Some of our favorite words he's saying these days are:
Shoes ("elmos" because his sneakers have Sesame Street's Elmo on them)
All Right! ("ah-ight")
Oh Boy!
Oatmeal
Bath (baf)
Flower ("dah-dil" because the first flower he saw was a daffodil)

These are sweet and special days. Right now he's reading his books and listening to music. In a few minutes we'll work on laundry, and then we're off to meet some of my former co-workers for lunch.
