Fun Foto Friday - Happy 18 months Quentin

So this is a little more than just a photo, but I'm slackin' lately so I'm combing a couple posts.

Quentin turned 18 months on the 2nd. Yes, I realize that was almost 3 weeks ago. But we didn't get into the doctor until the 12th and I didn't want to update until we'd been to the doctor. This appointment also served as a follow up from him being sick the week before. So, it turned out to be perfect timing. He's recovered from everything and Dr. Schutte said if she didn't know he had been sick a week ago, she'd never would have guessed it after doing his exam.

As Dr. Schutte was asking us about Q's skills, she just said, "does he jump?" and immediately, Q started jumping and continued to jump almost the entire time, which Dr. Schutte got a kick out of. He weighed in on the stand up scale (which he loved) at 23 pounds 9 ounces (19%) and is 33.5 inches tall (80%). His poor head is still on the small side (13%), but keeping right on track with his growth, so no worries there. All that means to me, is that we don't have to buy as many hats. And, he still has his heterochromia, which is perfectly fine and requires no follow ups. All in all he's doing great and Dr. Schutte gushed at how cute and happy he is.

On to the photo's -

Jumping is soo much fun!

The kid LOVES books!

And, he likes reading them to grumpy
smurf. 

The drums and bus have been added to our nightly routine -
brush teeth, get in pj's, play the drums, and drive the bus up
and down the entry way. 

At his 18th month appointment. 

one of his absolute favorite books - Barn Yard Dance

he really likes his Elmo pj's too. 

We've learned to not lay down, unless we want to be tackled.

This stage has been so much fun. It's so nice for him to ask for what he wants, and say "no" or "yes" if you ask him something. I'm amazed he actually knows what those words means and uses them appropriately. We've also learned to not ask questions like, "do you want to go night night?" That answer is always "NO!" Although never the answer we're looking for.

Currently Q's favorite foods are cheese, green beans, corn and crackers. Banana's have been put on the back burner, but he will still request one every other day.

We have a busy weekend ahead and I promise to update again very soon!
