18 Months Young



Although Eli won't be 18 months until December 30th he had his check up
This week. Everything is great! He was 22.8 pounds. 9% for height and 12% for weight so he's healthy but little.

He has 8 teeth and just cut a molar. He sleeps through the night and takes a 3 hour nap everyday. Woo hoo! He's so fun and is talking and learning so much everyday. 





We discussed that he only likes baby food and doesn't like much people food. He seems to have a texture issue with a lot of food and is more picky than a few months ago so we have an appointment with an occupational therapist to give us ideas to do at home to help Him try new foods   I think it will be really good.  He likes a few odd things like tomatoes and olives but those don't have many calories. ;)

  1. excuse me but did you call tomatoes 'odd things'. uh do you remember when he was here in august and we were trolling around in the garden and he found real live tomatoes and he thought they were the best things ever! now that is my kid! i LOVE tomatoes. but he also ate zucchini and cucumbers raw from the garden. olives are pretty yummy but only second to a good pickle. seems he likes pickles too. maybe he likes real food and its you that likes the odd things! but he is such a cute little guy. i remember when you were 24 months you weighed 24 pounds and you have grown up to be a normal size and remarkably smart and talented and beautiful. so no worries about this guy! i love him.

  2. These boys :) James isn't even on the growth chart for weight and it's so frustrating to try and get him to eat these days. I'd be interested to hear what the occupational therapist has to say. I've kind of decided that as long as he's healthy and active then all is well. Otherwise I'd worry myself crazy :)

  4. Your date night looks fun. And Eli's appointment...what a cutie! You said yourself he doesn't turn 18 months until the 30th. He's being compared to boys much older than him. 😊 And, he looks great so that's all that matters. He also likes potatoes, just not eating them.
