SO.HARD.TO.BELIEVE. we have a child who is a year and a half old.
I took Deacon to his 18 month well-check last week and he did great, of course. The doctor said he was right on track for doing, saying, eating everything an 18 month old should be doing, saying or eating. He's such a busy-body that it was pretty difficult to hold a conversation with the doctor, but she's a mom, too, so I guess she understood that I WAS listening, even if my attention was on making sure my son didn't flip off the table.
So his stats at this point haven't changed much in the last 3 months:
Weight = 23 lbs, 11 oz (21%)Height = 31 inches (21%)
He's progressing on his own chart exactly as he has been doing (no huge jumps or lags) so the doctor says he looks great. And no shots this time, yay! He'll get his next booster shot at his 2 year appt, and then nothing more for a couple years, I think.
His vocabulary has ramped up a little bit, though he still speaks lots of Japanese, if you ask me. :) He can now say/sign or sound the following:
eat (and he does the sign, too)
more (just the sign)
please (just the sign -- which looks a lot like "bath", too :)
ba (bath)
mama
da (daddy)
shh (shoe)
cah (car)
cruh (truck -- it's weird but he looks right at a truck when he says it)
chh-chh (choo-choo train)
chh (cheese)
night-night
nap
nack (snack)
hot (as in "the food is hot" or "the oven is hot")
up
no
uh-oh
whoa
yay
apple
nana (banana)
wa (water)
Deacon (oh, my word -- it is the cutest thing!)

I can't believe he's 18 mos. either! He's such a joy, and growing way too fast! But it's also fun to watch him change and learn. He's so cute and has sooooo many expressions! Just when you think you've seen them all, he comes up with a new one! :D
