18 Months Old!

Drew at a Year-And-A-Half
Eating Fish Tacos (fish, tortilla, avocado, shredded cheese) and Mixed Berries

Last year on Drew's 1/2 Birthday!
First solids EVER -- Sweet Potatoes -- on his 6 month bday

Matt thought I should make a cake-and-a-half for today. LOL

I wanted to record, for memory's sake, what Drew looks like waddling around and I also wanted to record what he looks like all chubby and roll-y before the thins out. The result is this clip! If you listen, you'll hear him shout "NO" as he passes by the cord sticking out of the wall! Half the time he says, "no no" WHILE he's touching it, but we're working on that :)

Drew had his 18 Month check up today and it went well. He's 30lbs (97th percentile) and 32 inches (36th percentile). His head was in the 80-something percentile. The Dr. said his numbers look good and he'll thin out now that he's on the go (we've been hearing that for months - ha)! She also decided not to give him his scheduled vaccine today because one of the possible side effects is seizure. He's already had the first 2 doses of this particular vaccine, so he is not likely to have any problems as far as contracting a disease. She wants to administer it at 2 years instead, since he will be less likely to seize at an older age. She also wants him to repeat his EEG just to double check that the one fast wave they saw was really from the anesthesia (which is what they think). Overall, she was happy with everything going on.

We sure do love our precious little one-and-a-half year old!!!! He's such a blessing!

Things that make me giggle...

Drew "vacuuming" with his toy vacuum and singing "Doo Dah" while he does it (the vacuum sings a Camptown Races song about cleaning)

Drew waving and clapping at the Today Show audience. Every morning. I think they are his TV friends.

Saying "no no" while he does something he's not supposed to (this isn't going to be cute for long...)!

Love the year-and-a-half stage!
