18 Months

Karter is no longer 18 months but I still need to blog about his check up.
Weight: 28 lbs 2.5 oz-78%
Height: 35 inches-99%
Head 50 cm-95%
Still very tall but is much slimmer. Dr. Prough says he'll be tall and skinny. She said he is on track for everything. She could tell that the "terrible twos" had arrived for him. He wasn't bad or anything just a little strong willed while playing with some of the toys they had there. He is eating SO much better. He learned very quickly that when I cook something for the family that meant he was part of the family and had to eat it too. He has only gone 2 nights without supper since his 15 month apt. He still takes 1 nap a day and they last from 2-3 hours. Every once in a while he'll give me a 4 hour nap.
Karter is a very good boy. He is very busy and loves if you will be busy with him.
He minds very well. And when he doesn't he gets a timeout which last 3 minutes. He doesn't mind timeout. He hardly crys when he is there but he doesn't want to go back. He still doesn't throw a correct tantrum. Which is fine by me. He will gently lay down and stay there quietly until you pay him attention. Which we do not. So he gets up and moves on.
Words that Karter is saying:
Please, More, Snack(Gack), cup (cupacupacupa), shoes, pants, shirt, socks, hat, cold, hot, night night (with a tongue click in the middle of the word), HotDog(Hadog AKA Mickey Mouse), Cheese, Ball, Elmo(Eldo), Uncle (Austin), Joo(Jordan-this is what I call Jordan), Luke, Leta, Rachel, Kyle, Daddy, Mommy(Ma), Keys, Boat, Bus, Car, Truck, Puzzle (Puzzu), Train(Choo Choo), Book, Slide, Where'd it go, What's that, Bye Bye Daddy, Right there, Oh No, Yes, Peach, Door, Wall, Bed, Kiss, Bye Bye, Bike, Rock, Star, Eye, Nose, Teeth,
Karter signs: More, Please, Thank You, All Done, Milk, Drink, Bite,
He recognizes: the letter "o", the color blue and the number 2
He can put together puzzles so well, Loves to match things, Line things up, Color, Play with stickers,
Newest love is taking showers with Daddy. Basically Karter loves doing anything his daddy is doing.


He takes his jammies off in the mornings before I come get him. I don't mind it as long as he's in his crib still. It hasn't occurred to him that he is able to climb out.


He wants to eat non stop.



Loves walking around in our shoes


And thinks wearing Daddy's hats is SO much fun.
