18 Months Old

I am loving that Carson is 18 (almost 19) months old. He is so much fun and becoming much more independent which makes my life easier in some aspects and harder in others. As fun as it is, I feel a little sad (little being the key word) that he is no longer a baby. It is weird for me to think that I have a toddler now, but boy is he a cute one. I took him in for he check up a few weeks ago and he is weighing in at a whoppin 20.5 lbs! I know ...I try to put some lbs on this kid but it just isn't happening. He was 20.1 lbs 3 months ago. He is now in the 1st percentile for weight. He is 33 1/4 inches tall and has grown about 2 inches in 3 months. He is in the 80th percentile for height. Tall and skinny. Carson definitely has a few favorite things, his blue blanket and bear which he has to know where they are at all times. He also loves chocolate milk, nutri grain bars, broccoli, dogs, horses, pumpkins, helicopters, airplanes, deer and much much more. He is talking so well and loves to read books. He also loves his grandpas a lot, but grandmas, aunts and uncles come in at a close second. He loves to walk around in other peoples shoes and he loves electronics of any kind. We've been pretty lucky because Carson is not much of a climber. He is a very busy boy but he is also very cautious. He still manages to always have a bump, a bruise, or a cut somewhere though. One thing that Carson does not like is nursery. I was so excited for him to hit 18 months just for that reason. One thing I did not know was that Carson and I would be going to nursery together every week. As long as I am in the room he is fine, but the minute I head for the door, total melt down. Someday right???
