18 months

Such a happy kid
TROUBLE!

My Feet 18 months

I love when mom lets me have Sun Chips!

Well everyone told me that Cooper will be so different once he turns 18 months, and boy were they right. It seems like within the last week he is understanding so much more, talking more, and overall communication with him has increased. He will sit for longer periods of time and look at books or color which was unheard of a few months ago. We have begun to do "timeouts" and he is doing really well understanding them. We have a spot on an empty wall in the living room that he has to sit against for a minute. He will sit there and once the minute is up I go over and tell him again why he was put in timeout and then he gives us a hug and kiss and is allowed to play again. It has come in handy to get him to listen. "Don't touch that or you will be in timeout"

Our 18 month Doctor visit was very uneventful. He passed the 18 month assessment with flying colors. The Doctor was very pleased with how he is coming along and says we have nothing to worry about! He was 24lbs and 3 feet tall with a huge head still. His weight is now in the 25% height is in the 50% and his head is still in the 75%. She was not too concerned about the drop for the weight but said she will want to see him not drop below the 25% at his 2 year visit! So guess we will keep letting him eat away :)

Overall he is still doing great and it amazes us daily how much he picks up and understands! We just know the next 6 months will bring even more. We have a little toddler and are enjoying the "terrible two's".
