Liam's 18 month update

This post is mostly for the grandparents who I know are curious about developments--here is an update.

Liam went to the doctor today and is 25lbs 15.5 oz, and 34.5 inches tall. This puts him in the 98th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight.  Very healthy. He is just starting to outgrow his 18 month clothes.

He now uses a fork and spoon easily, but is still learning to use a regular cup without spilling it everywhere. He does well with thick liquids like smoothies, either because they taste SO good or because they come out slower, I'm not sure which.

Liam can walk up and down stairs with help, and can crawl them on his own. He can run, throw a ball, and stack his blocks. He's learning colors, can count to three, and enjoys using his chalkboard easel.  He's starting to understand imaginary play.

He loves the bath and to brush his own teeth.  Liam is a bookworm and will now happily listen to longer stories like his Curious George books.

  2. Well, thanks Becky! My family all read this, but never comment on anything, sometimes I feel like I'm writing it for myself. :P
