I am...18 Months Old (Super Late!)

New Things:
Climbing in and out of his playpen and high chair
Saying actual words (like "Hey!" when he notices something)
Hiding when taking poops (he actually went into the closet and closed the door)
Mimicking behaviors

Not So New Things:
Climbing on everything
Removing his diaper any chance he gets
Breastfeeding
Co-sleeping

18 Month Appointment:
Liam weighed 28.8 lbs (84th percentile) and was 34.84 inches tall (99th percentile) at his appointment. I don't know if I've mentioned this before but I am slightly obsessed with Liam's height. Even though Will is over 6', I'm scared that Liam will end up with my short genes (I'm 5').
During his appointment, we discussed a concern I had about his speech. He is not behind but he's also not ahead. We talked a little about things we can do at home to help with his speech since he's an only child and doesn't go to any sort of daycare or play dates. Since then, I have made plans to start setting up play dates for him just to help with, not only his speech, but also give him a social life. Other than that, Liam is right on task and we couldn't be happier. Now here are a few pictures of the little guy. Enjoy!!

Six Month Appointment Update

Liam had his six month (!!) check up earlier this morning. I showed up with a list of questions and overall, everything went pretty well. They usually write his measurements down for me but this time they didn't. I know he weighed in at a little over 19 pounds (78th percentile, if I remember correctly) and was 26.5 inches long (50th percentile). I can't remember his head circumference but it was around the 70th percentile.

He rated excellent on his progress and is doing everything on schedule. I asked about teething remedies and inquired about the rashes on his cheeks as well as the bumps on his arms and legs (a slight case of Eczema).

Then it was time for his vaccinations (boo). He cried but, luckily, only had to get two today (no more shots until 12 months!). We were given the choice to make a 9 month appointment even though it's not necessary. I still haven't decided if I want to make one but I think it would be a good idea to keep up with some sort of schedule.

So, overall, Liam's six month appointment went well. He's hanging out in his bouncer, chewing on his thumbs and spitting so I guess he's over getting poked earlier. Oh, wait, now he's crying so maybe not.
