Can you believe that Wyatt is 18 months old? I sure can’t. I
almost choked on my water when I looked at my watch two Saturday's ago and realized it
was his 1 & ½ year Birthday. Wow! What a big boy.
At his check up, last week, he was:
25.2 pounds, in the 45th percentile
and
32.75 inches tall, in the 75th percentile
Everyone keeps telling me he's chunky, but it turns out they are wrong! :)
Let me tell you a little about my darling little boy. For
starters, I just love him so stinkin’ much. There isn’t a day that goes by that I
don’t think about how good God is, and how Wyatt fits into our family perfectly.
He loves food. He will eat just about anything and he wants to eat ALL DAY.
He is wordy. Wyatt has somewhere in the neighborhood of 130 words. He is already putting them together into 2,3, and sometimes 4 word sentences. I don’t even know how this is happening. I’m pretty sure at this point w/ Cady she was doing lots of 2 word stuff, and maybe a few 3 word lines. If you look back at my baby book, I may not have been talking at all at 18 months. I see this as a blessing, and maybe not as big of a blessing as little Wyatt gets older. I'm pretty sure by the time he is 3 he will be using words that I don't understand to argue with me... I will be investing in a new dictionary very soon.
He is a boy. He loves to be outside. He loves dirt. He loves bugs. He loves things that make loud noises. He loves to make loud noises. He makes stinky smells. He hates clothes.
He is silly. He makes me laugh all the time. I feel pretty confident that he will be the clown in this family.
He can throw a royal fit. It's amazing. It comes and goes pretty quickly...hopefully learning to express feelings will clam some of that. (P.S. he's mad here because the shoe fell off.)
He sleeps really well. He is also passy free. We got rid of it the week he turned 18 months. He was liking it more all the time and it seemed like the sooner we got it over with the easier it would be for everyone. It took about a week, but he goes to sleep pretty easily with out it now. He does, however, remind me almost every day that I threw it in the trash.
Probably my current favorite thing about Wyatt, is that everyday I can what God created him with being expressed out into the world. Wyatt has a servants heart; he is so giving. And while currently it is expressed in him handing me my napkin, out of my lap, 100 times in a row, and bringing me all the shoes out of my closet, I can see it developing. He never asks for one of anything, he always asks for 2. That way, his sister can have one too.
What an amazing little boy I have been blessed with. Wow, 18 months! Though I am sad it is passing so quickly, I am so excited about the future. :)
