Adam is a kid on the move! His favorite latest trick at 18 months is to climb onto chairs and/or the table. In fact, today he just learned how to climb up the slide on the playstructure on the deck...and how to make his mom's heart beat faster.
He has a host of words now, learned in approximately the following order: dada, all done, more, mama, Andrew, milk, up, Sam, bowl, water, spoon, egg, bath (favorite word!), Gabe, deck, down, ball, doggy, hungry, fork, toast, nose, hair, diaper, poopoo, Odyssey, Cecilia, Thomas, shower, shoes...and I'm sure many more I can't think of. He loves to mimic and often will repeat back to you; just with the consonants missing. :)
He's getting bigger. At his 18 month appointment he was 2 ft 7.5 inches tall (21%) and weighed 23 lbs (34%). He also thinks he's way bigger...insisting on sitting in a chair like his brothers and using crayons or pencils like his brothers and playing Legos like his brothers. And truly, in so many cases, he really can do things just like them.
He continues to take one nap a day of about two hours, which give the household a nice respite from the constant motion and occasional antics (pulling hair or biting) as he pals around with his brothers.
