Little Big Man

Sometimes I look at my son and I think, "boy is he big"! He is usually the same size if not bigger than some two year olds. On top of that comparing him to his teeny tiny sister I forget that my big boy is still little. He doesn't let me hold him and kiss him as much as I would like, but he such a sweetie. I am amazed at how much he changes everyday! We took him to the doctor, which he hated. He weighed 27 lbs and is 34 inches long. After we got all went to lunch to celebrate his 18 months!

He is adapting fairly well to this big brother thing. He likes to tickle Maddie's toes. He likes to try all her pacis, then he brings them to me. He doesn't like to hear her cry. He usually covers his ears or tries to give her a paci. Sometimes he wants to kiss her. He also loves to play with her "baby" toys. The other day I caught him rocking her bouncer and "reading" a book to her. I love my son!!!!!

He still loves anything on wheels (trains, trucks, cars, bikes, even planes). He is starting to pay with other kids when we have playdates. He is always testing the limits with what he can do. When he gets told no, he usually puffs up grunts or throws himself on the floor. I swear its like him telling me, "you're telling me NO" or "You talking to me?" Sometimes it makes me laugh inside, other times it gets under my skin. He is such a picky eater and sometimes he'll love something and the next time he won't touch it. He is quite aware of when he goes "potty" and doesn't really like having his diaper changed. He won't sit on a potty although we got him one anyway. The doctor doesn't recommend starting with that for a while. He wears a size 4 diaper and 24 month clothing. He really loves being outside and generally throws a tantrum when its time to come in. He LOVEs to dace and sing...evidence below
