Todd: 18 Months Old

18 Month Stats

Weight:  28 ish pounds. Varies between 28-29 pounds our home scale and scale at the gym! (Embry was 24 pounds at 18 months! LOL)

Height: 34 inches

Diapers: Size 4

Clothes: Mostly 24 month or 2T. For shirts he wears 2T for sure.

Shoes: Size 6

Eating: Darn it, he's getting picky! He used to eat anything I put in front of him! He's still a rockstar breakfast eater... Eggs, oatmeal, cereal, pancakes, pretty much anything I give him. Embry got picky around this age and I catered to it and would make her a second meal for dinner, but not doing that with this guy. A few nights this week he tried some of my dinners (some chicken here and there), but for the most part he eats whatever sides I serve...some fruit or veggies and Greek yogurt. His favorites are string cheese, Greek yogurt, Cheerios, Kids Cliff Bars, pouches (still obsessed with pouches). He also loves organic whole milk! He wasn't a huge fan but as of the past 6 weeks he's upped his milk game big time.

Sleeping: 11.5 hours at night. As of day light savings time he's now doing 7:30pm-7:00am! (instead of 6:30-6). He's an awesome napper and naps 2-3.5 hours every day! He's pretty good napping at school too and frequently does a 2 hour nap there (twice a week).

Teeth: 14 teeth. Poor guy cut SIX new teeth in one month. 3 canines and 3 molars. He went through a span of waking at night for 3 weeks or so and it was while he was cutting these teeth and had an awful head cold at the same time. The 4th canine and molar are cutting right now. Ready for this teething phase to be over!

Words: He's become quite chatty these past few months! Unlike his big sis, he'll now repeat any word we ask him to say! He says probably 15 words regularly- mama, mommy, dada, more, up, hot, dog, duck, more, Papa, ball, hi, rawr, etc....

Favorite Toys: He's our little outside man! He LOVES playing anything outside and does great at parks especially. Loves trucks and anything that goes, dinosaurs, books, balls, stealing anything that Embry is playing with.

Favorite Books: Vroom (a book about trains, cars, trucks, etc.), The Little Engine That Could, books with animals because he likes to rawr at every animal....haha
