18 months

Mikey was 18 months old on the 16th and we had his checkup today. The DR confirmed what Mommy and Daddy already knew, our little guy is growing up quickly! At Mikey's 15 month checkup his height was 32 1/2 inches which put him in the 90%. He has sprouted up to 35 inches which now puts him off the charts, what a tall little man we have. He has also gained 3 lbs since the last check up bumping him up to a whopping 26 lbs which is the 50%. With the weather getting warmer we have been trying to get the little guy outside when we can. This has resulted in a few temper tantrums...but only because he LOVES being outside and does not want to come in! With warmer weather in sight Mommy began her search of the Internet attempting to find a slide for the little guy. Who knew I wouldn't have to search any further than Uncle Troy and Aunt Jody's back yard? Grandpa and Grandma C. were nice enough to bring it down for us over the weekend. And they brought some special guests with them, Cousins Colby and Kiley-thanks for letting Mikey use your slide!

A little help up the slide.
Down we go!

I apologize...

...that's its been nearly 2 months since our last post. I do have several excuses, so here are a few-our computer was ridiculously slow for like 2 weeks, we haven't been very good at taking pictures, mommy spends most of her computer time on Facebook, oh and most importantly American Idol is back on! But we have been busy too. Daddy was crazy busy with work for a while and not to mention Mommy has been putting in OT too! Grandpa D. made a trip up from Missouri to see the little man. We went to Jefferson to see Grandma and Grandma C, along with many aunts, uncles and cousins. This past weekend Grandma D. and Grandma and Grandpa C. all came to visit the little man as they are each traveling somewhere much warmer this week and we won't get to see them for a while. They little guy is saying so many words now its hard to count...Mommy's favorites are Boo Coo (Blue's Clues) and nanana (banana). But now onto the pics!

The little man all dressed up.

For some reason he loves the vaccum...I doubt this will last.

Ready to go out to eat for Mommy's BIG b-day.

Its amazing what a toddler finds amusing.

Sorry I can't figure out how to turn this one :-)


We can't seem to get rid of the bebe (pronounced binky).

Making sure my hats still fit.

I didn't know this before having Mikey, but apparently a toddler will climb on anything!
