Broderick James: 18 Month Update

Brody turned 18 months on Sunday. We had his 18 month check up today. He has moved up in the weight class. He weighs 22 pounds (7th percentile). He is 32 1/8 inches long (50th percentile). His head circumference is 19 1/8 inches (76th percentile). He had a good check up and is meeting all of his developmental milestones.

Brody is a big helper now around the house. He helps me fold laundry and unload the plates in the dishwasher. He also seems to have forgotten how to walk because all he does is runs and skips around the house now. Brody likes to say "achoo" after someone sneezes. He also has started saying "shh" when he hears loud noises. Today at the doctor, he heard a baby crying and he looked at me, put his finger to his lips, and said "shh". He has also started biting. I got bit three times today. I think he is teething and is desperate to chew on something because he doesn't seem to be angry when he bites. Hopefully he doesn't mean it and he is just teething. Brody got his first taste of a lollipop today after his shots at the doctor. He loved it and kept it in his mouth until we had to get in the car. Enjoy the latest pictures!
