18 Month Stats

Evan had his 18-Month Check-Up yesterday and he weighed in at 26 lbs and 11 oz and is now 33 inches tall. We had all the right answers for the Development Questions and the doctor was particularly impressed with his language skills and expressiveness. She thought he was quite advanced for his age and said boys have a tendency to concentrate more on their motor skills and therefore develop language skills a bit slower than girls do, but he was rapidly mastering both.

Here's a list of all the things he's said so far although I may be forgetting a few:

Da-Da (Daddy); Mama; Ba-Ba (Bottle); Ball; Uh-Oh; Wall; Bye-Bye; Airplane; Up; More (and he does the sign language for 'more' as he says it); No-No; Baby/Babies (what he calls all of his stuffed animals); Woof-Woof (imitating the dog next door); Wa-Wa (Water); Boo! and P-Boo (for Peek-a-boo); Bee-Beats (for "Fresh Beats," the name of a music show he likes); "Up above" (the only part he likes to sing to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star); Whoa, Joe! (a part of a song they sing in his daycare); What's that?; Oh boy!; Uh-oh, what is it?; Apples; Din-din (for Dinner); Night-night; Quack quack; Rrowr!; Hey/Hi; and Hat.

He is growing up SO FAST!!!!!!
