He's grown up a lot in the last 3 months! Here's a few of the highlights.
- Loves watching the "gars" out of the window.
- He likes coloring, but loves playing with stickers.
- His 18 month stats are: 21 lbs 1 oz (12 percentile), 31.5 inches tall (26 percentile), and 18 inch head circumference (15 percentile.)
- I sometimes call him "My Little Linus" since he loves his little blue blankie so much.
- He's pushed off the TV backwards off of its stand and dented the wall. Twice.
- He is still a finger sucker.
- He's liking talking to his grandmas and grandpas on FaceTime. He will finally sit to smile and talk to them.
- One of his favorite places is in our reading/car watching nook. He loves to lounge in his special spot and read.
- He's starting to climb on things he's not supposed to. Like using the kitchen cart as a ladder.
- I finally have some pictures of Nathan's head not tilting! I don't know that I've talked about this on the blog, but Nathan has tortacollis (a head tilt.) We've been going to physical therapy to correct it for 10 months! It's been a long time! We're so close to being done and having his head always being in the center and having these photos of his head straight is one of those light at the end of the tunnel moments for us.
- Still taking 1 nap, and it is still long. At least 3 hours, usually 4. I know I'm lucky.
- He loves to eat the same things we are eating at dinner. He ate all the broccoli I gave him for dinner tonight.
- His least favorite time of day, I'm sad to say, is bath time. He used to love it. He slipped a few weeks ago while he was standing up and almost went under the water. I was right there so he didn't go under, but it sure scared him. Every time I give him a bath he cries through the whole experience. Any suggestions on how to get him liking bath time again?
- He does a great job of cleaning up his toys. In fact, I found him the other day unprompted "cleaning up" his toys right into the trash can!
- He loves to run, run, run!
- He's been sneaking into nursery for the past month, and yesterday he went all by himself. He did great, except for (oddly enough) clean up time.
- When I lay him down in his crib he will roll over and wedge himself against the side rails and smile back up at me to give him his blanket.
- He has such an infectious little laugh. He is always having a good time and loves to giggle away at how silly he is. Seriously love his happy little personality.

What a cutie. He is getting so big. Miss seeing your guys around. If you are even in New York City you will have to let me know. :)
Such a cutie pie! Can't believe he's 18 month old!!
He is so cute! Yay for pictures with straight head! You have been so patient with therapy, so glad it might be ending soon. Julia went through bath time hatred too, pretty sure it was when she realized the water goes down the drain and she got scared that somehow she might too. One thing that helped her get over (besides time) it was giving her a washcloth, a little baby soap, and teaching her how to wash some toys...rubber ducky, bath book, etc. she got s into cleaning she forgot to be sad.
