18 Month Stats

Ok I know that our son is now 19 Months, and that I should have posted this last month, but his appointment was this month. Then I've just been super busy/a slacker blogger/sick over and over again. So here we go. He happened to have an ear infection when we took him in for his appointment. Kinda nice it was counted as a well visit and we didn't have to pay for an extra visit, but OBVIOUSLY we'd rather he didn't have one at all. One more and it's tubes supposedly. I don't love colds, and it seems like the more we try to avoid sick people, the more we run into them.  Oh well. Anyway, onto Milo. 

We went in with him weighing 25 pounds. Man, he's catching up fast to his siblings. It's weird to think about. Although, it still puts him in the 46 percentile for weight. His height is at 33 inches putting him in the 82 percentile. I always wonder how tall he'll end up being. Tall and slender this boy of ours. He has big feet. Someone told me that means he'll be tall, I guess we'll see if that's true. They measured his head, but he wouldn't hold still so they didn't get an accurate measurement. He still has a big head, so we're good. :)

The rest of the appointment we talked ears, and speech. He still doesn't talk all the much, but since he says a few more things she's not too worried. We'll see. 

Some things he's up to now:

-Milo LOVES LOVES LOVES bananas. He begs for them all day every day. Throwing fits when we tell him no he's already had one. It's the first thing he wants when he wakes up. We go to the grocery store and he freaks when he sees them. Our other two tolerate them, and go through phases liking them  but have never loved them. He thinks they are wonderful. We have never bought so many before. He has them daily. He is definitely our monkey. 

-He loves to color. It needs to be supervised, cause he's rather color on the couch or eat crayons, but he still loves to do it. 

-He loves to climb and step on things. If something is on the floor, he will use it as a stool. We have to make sure all breakable things are off the floor. 

-He loves to read books and could do it all day. 

-He LOVES Mickey Mouse. Everything else he eventually gets board with, but not the same Mickey shows over and over. He also likes Jake and the Neverland Pirates. He's not that into watching car shows, but loves to play with cars. Especially if Ollie will play with him. 

-He HATES nursery. Ollie is no longer in there, so Milo doesn't want to be either. It doesn't help that our Nursery is seriously lacking in good leaders and when he is screaming nobody tries to distract him, hold him, or play with him. So we kinda hate it, cause he just screams in the corner by the door. It makes us sad. They are working on calling new leaders so we are kinda hoping it will help. Wish they'd hurry. Juggling him when we both have to teach is not fun, neither is leaving him histerical in nursery. With the new church time it goes into nap time, and it makes it tricky. 

-He loves to come hand you toys to get you to play with him. 

-He licks everything. It drives us a little crazy. This includes our faces when he gives kisses and the counters when he climbs up on the stools. Silly boy. 

-He loves baths and loves to irritate anyone in the bath with them by splashing them. 

-He is still pretty easy going when it comes to food which is a nice thing since the other two aren't. He has learned how to launch his food across the room by filling his cheeks with air and spitting with all his might. Not my favorite trait, but he thinks it's great. 

-He's obsessed with shoes. He wants his on, and drags everyone else's all over the house wearing them all day. He also always wants his coat on cause he seems to think you'll take him somewhere if he gives it to you. 

-He is super lovey. He just wants cuddles and hugs all day. He's a lot like Ollie in that way. Both such touchy feely boys who wants cuddles to feel loved. Because they are a like in this way, they fight over affection from both Mom and Dad. They also are already super competitive with each other. Ah brothers. 

-He loves to wrestle and tickle and chase. Any game with any of those things are his favorite. He is so ticklish that you don't even have to touch him and he falls to the ground laughing. His neck is probably his most ticklish spot. His laugh makes us giggle, cause it sounds like a more high pitched version of Ollie's. So it's super fun to hear when you get them both laughing. 

-Poor boy still gets stomach issues often, but they seem to be fewer and fewer so that's nice. 

-He doesn't talk much, but is starting to mimic us more. His animal sounds are pretty cute if you can get him to do them. My newest favorite is when you ask him something and he responds with, "Yeah Yeah!" It's not just one, but two yeahs with enthusiasm. Cute boy. 

-He loves to sing any song that has actions. "Popcorn Popping" is by far his favorite and we sing it daily and still love the way he tries to do the actions. It's adorable. 

He love our Baby boy. Time is moving too fast with this boy, but we are enjoying him every moment we can. 

LOVE YOU MO!
