18 months appointment

Charlie's stats:
26 lbs (50th%)
34 3/4 inches (90th%)

The doctor said that he looks great! He said not to worry about him not talking much because he is understanding what we say. (not that I was that worried) Charlie cried a good bit when they gave him his 2nd and 3rd shot but didn't cry at all with the first one. He had a great time eating his lunch in the room and exploring :)

18 months


Charlie at 18 months:
·      says: “ba” ball, momma, dada, jack,  uh oh, juice, no, book, shoe, cheese, bye bye, hello,
·      makes a dog sound (we are working on other animals, but that is the only one that has stuck)
·      I say that Charlie is my “silent talker”. I made up this term for him because he talks with grunts and sounds and I know exactly what he wants or what he is saying. For example, after he goes poopy he will say, “sss sss” which means stinky. Also, he shakes his head yes or no a lot instead of saying the words. He also still claps his hands for “more”
·      He wears size 18-24 month clothes
·      He still has the smallest foot…size 4. Jack was in a size 6-7 by now.
·      He doesn’t watch any tv (unlike his brother at this age who was obsessed with yo gabba gabba)
·      He is starting to show his temper (mostly when we don’t serve a meal on time)
·      He still doesn’t love hugs from his brother, but he is ok with it if jack tells him he is going to hug him first
·      Some of his favorite foods are: krave cereal, deli meat, string cheese, chicken nuggets,  mac n cheese, spaghetti, fruit, etc. he will eat pretty much everything we eat (which is totally different than jack)
·      Sleeps through the night (unless he is teething)
·      Wakes up at 6:30-7:00, goes to bed at 8:00
·      Takes 2 naps still…a morning nap around 9:30-10:00 and an afternoon nap from 2:00-4:00. He is so grouchy if he doesn’t get a morning nap…not sure when we will drop it
·      He loves his pacies! He has one all the time (go ahead judge all you want, but I am his momma and I don’t see the harm in it right now…he won’t go to kindergarten with one!!) it soothes him! He sleeps with about 6 pacies and plays with them. When we get him out of his bed he has to grab for the nearest extra pacie and either switch to that one or just carry that one to the changing table.
·      Loves pete

video of charlie chasing pete


charlie loves to chase pete! he also loves to hug him, pet him, feed him, and much more.

drawing of pete and happy birthday grandma!

 jack drew this picture of pete (i know it doesn't really look like him, but that is ok). he also wrote pete and dog. i sounded out pete and he spelled it. he needed me to write an "e" on another piece of paper first. then i sounded out dog and he spelled it, but needed me to write a "g" on another piece of paper. i was really impressed! he also drew the arrow.


charlie adores pete

IPhone pictures

I might be posting doubles of things I already posted about...having 2 cameras makes it hard to keep up with pictures!!

these are all out of order...maybe one day i will figure out my phone!

this is jack's teacher opening up her gift from the class (target gift card and a beautiful nativity wall hanging)
jack's snowman...the chocolate chip on the top is his hat
jack's gift to us (an ornament)
jack and i made cookies together one night to bring to mama and me to donate to a nursing home or something like that
decorating the same cookies, but after bath time
i found this on my phone the day after jack and i took a nap together on the couch...thanks for taking it johnny! jack has not been napping lately :( i think naps are done for him. this is after his ipad time in his room...i guess he was tired that day!
i was proud of this drawing! he wrote pete and dog by himself (he knew how to write the p, t, d, and o...i wrote the e and g on another piece of paper and he wrote it on his. the drew the arrow so that we would know that that was pete)
charlie loves to put his sippy inside another cup...he gets mad if it won't fit
we did a lot of breathing treatments in december
we went to the mall yesterday and let the kids ride the carrousel
charlie has learned to use a spoon and fork...he is actually really good with them...makes meal times so much cleaner!

Desoto caverns

We went to Desoto caverns last week and had a great time! Jack thought it was so cool! They turned off all the lights so it was completely dark...creepy! The bumper cars at the end was so fun!!!
